Mason House Inn and Caboose Cottage

Keosauqua, IA   /   0 Reviews

21982 Hawk Dr, Keosauqua, IA 52565, USA

When someone dies in a location they called home, they sometimes don’t leave. Three of the former owners of the Mason House Inn died while managing the hotel. The current owners are aware of five spirits haunting the inn. One ghost may be that of a guest who was murdered there.

The apparition of a young boy enjoys playing pranks. One ghost is a woman in a long, white nightgown. One of the spirits has the unnerving habit of staring at guests then disappearing in front of them.

The inn was a hospital in the Civil War era, and withstood flooding on five occasions when a lot of people lost their lives. A spirit in one room was responsible for one guest having a sleepless night. The man was awakened by tugging on his pajama sleeve. He thought it was his wife, then remembered his wife wasn’t with him.

Haunted Pottawattamie County Jail

Council Bluffs, IA, USA

Council Bluffs, Iowa is one of the more unsuspecting locations for paranormal activity. The rather small and simple city is situated on the Missouri River directly across from the Nebraskan city of Omaha.
