Few know it, but Minnesota is the epicenter of supernatural activity in America. Possibly in the world. Don’t let our nice-guy image fool you. True, much of the state consists of pleasant folks going about their days in good-natured humor, but beneath our surface lies a separate realm, linked by portals to other worlds that let in all sorts of demons. A place where monster crabs invade, and baneful lunatics prowl; where mad scientists conduct villainous experiments, and children pray in their beds at night to be spared from the terror that lurks below their neighborhood park. Even the pristine Boundary Waters Canoe Area has been known to cough up a monstrosity or two. This is a land of shadowy phantoms and death-dealing cults, where bizarre conspiracies come to life. It’s where corporations are taken over by wicked shape-shifters. And you’d be lucky if that pounding on the cabin door is only a hungry black bear. This Minnesota is as far from Lake Wobegon as you could
