'Tis the season for ghosts and goblins, and in Duluth a famous ship has become a destination for paranormal investigators. In this week's Finding Minnesota, John Lauritsen gets a haunted tour of the William A. Irvin.

"It's a beautiful ship. The flagship of the SS Steel," said Lucie Amundsen, Duluth Entertainment Convention Center.

For decades, all 610 feet of the William A. Irvin cruised across Lake Superior. When it was decommissioned in 1978, the ship found a permanent home in Canal Park and opened its hatches to history tours. But one month out of the year it turns into a nightmare of a tour.
