Albert Lea, MN
Grandma Jensen's House - It's been called the BorlandHouse, but it's mentioned in The Haunted Heartland book under the chapter Grandma Jensen or something like that.

Actually, my family once looked at that house when thinking of moving, before we even knew it was in The Haunted Heartland, and my mom got a bit weirded out in a couple of rooms. It'd be neat if you could find more info on that haunted site. (Troy Taylor's Site on Granma's House) (AAG)
