Sage Hill

North Dakota · United States · School

A bed and breakfast in North Dakota that was a school house. A fire started by a coal stove is said to have killed the superintendent, who smoked cigars.

Sage Hill at Anamoose, North Dakota operates as a bed and breakfast and was originally a school house, described locally as the first in the state.

The account holds that a fire started by a coal burning stove killed the superintendent and a young schoolboy.

The superintendent smoked cigars, and that detail is included in every telling for a reason: it is what the current owners report smelling.

When the people who converted the building began pulling out the parts that needed repair, things started.

Renovation is the single most common trigger reported in haunted buildings, to the point where it is almost a rule. Whether that says something about buildings or about the state of mind of people living in a half demolished house is an open question.

The bed and breakfast is a working business and the owners are open about the history.
