  Want to go back soon!

  Years and years ago I was taking an art class for beginners in one of the buildings. The classroom was in the basement of the building. Not only does it have a seriously creepy vibe and overall a bad feeling, but I distinctly remember on multiple occasions sitting in class and seeing shadows walking in the dark corners of the room next to our room. I also saw someone's silhouette kinda glide in front of a window, no one in class hearing footsteps or seeing anyone after that. Not my experience, but my brother was doing a play in the Little Theater of Owatonna building. At the end of the night being the last one in the building he heard noises. He heard kids laughing, footsteps following behind him, and he heard a piano playing in an empty room. This place has always intrigued me, and I've always wanted to investigate there. Hopefully one day soon!

  Blocks

  I used to live a couple of blocks away from west hills and I always felt off there. I once saw a adult figure in the hallway and one time riding home at night I saw a orb glowing in someone’s car. Freaked the hell outta me. We moved a couple of months later and since then I haven’t felt anything bad.

  Thank You!!!!

  I had been walking around West Hills one day in the later summer early fall and went to see the cemetery, and listened to the voice description about the cemetery. Durning listening to it I had seen a maple leaf fly up to the fense and stayed there and just gently shifted like as if there was a child standing there. As I got done listening to the voice description as it got done I heard a childs voice say Thank You!!!! And my ankle had started to ache while standing there listening to it, as I walked away it started to feel better then as soon as I got into my vehicle it didnt hurt anymore.

  Feel Bad Energy For Blocks

  I grew up in Owatonna, and my mother was a nurse. She took care of some of the people who were orphans who were there, some didn't mind but others have terrible stories. They even wrote a couple books. The nuns supposedly used to beat them (specific stories about the heater as punishment and beating a child with a bat.) Even worse, they supposedly used to sell the children to "parents" who needed labor done and they'd be further abused. I used to go there to workout (it's now a community center and other buildings). I will not. And I mean WILL NOT step FOOT in the shower room. The shower room was hot with steam but felt FREEZING. And overly quiet, the kind of low decibels that hurt your ears. And you feel different, unbalanced, not flight or fright fear, but like you're suddenly so heavy you can't move. I wouldn't be caught anywhere on that side of TOWN at night.

  Ghosts

  I lived in Owatonna back in 2008-09. I visited West hills one day just for something to do. I knew it was haunted. So I brought my digital camera with me. I snapped pictures in dark rooms and the cemetery. I didn't look at the pictures at the time. Once I got home a few hours later I looked at the pictures. Every picture had orbs everywhere! But what caught my eye was a couple pictures of a child. One picture in particular creeped me out and sent chills down my spine. In one photo I caught 3 shadow children, 2 taller (probably adult) shadows and 4-5 ghostly children's faces. Later that night I realized someone followed me home. I was in my room laying down for bed. All of a sudden I hear giggling, running and things hitting the floor in my living room. My apartment complex and NO children living there. I go and check it out and I see I shadow in the corner and my remote to the TV flew across the room.
