Lisa Gedrose Haunts Bonanzaville As Fargo's Most Spirited Paranormal Coordinator and History Buff

<p>What makes something paranormal, and where is the line between the unexplained, the divine, and plain old magic? Conrad opens this episode by pressing Bonanzaville paranormal coordinator Lisa Gedrose on the definition itself, from ghosts and UFOs to Bigfoot, miracles, human perception, and the effort to debunk strange claims before accepting them.</p><p>Then we get to know Lisa beyond the ghost stories. She talks about growing up with the Eagles, choosing Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” raising six children, grabbing coffee at Randy’s, shopping at Hornbacher’s Village West and Aldi, and unwinding with Little House on the Prairie.</p><p>At Bonanzaville, Lisa’s work combines North Dakota history with hands-on paranormal investigation. She trains volunteer guides, tests EMF meters, spirit boxes, and temperature guns, decorates for the season, researches the history and claims tied to buildings, and helps lead nighttime investigations. Her story started as a guest on a paranormal tour, became years of volunteering, and eventually grew into a paid coordinator role after she kept showing up and helping wherever Bonanzaville needed her.</p><p>Lisa also explains why the mission matters beyond spooky stories: the investigations raise money to preserve Bonanzaville’s historic buildings and Cass County history. It is a conversation about ghosts, community, volunteerism, curiosity, and what can happen when a personal obsession turns into a real role.</p>
