On the surface, Iowa may be the state that has flattened farms of massive corn production, but when the sun goes does, it hides some far more sinister and supernatural elements.

Independence State Mental Hospital ranks high on the fear factor as it housed decades worth of mentally insane patients who lived and died on the property and where current workers today openly refuse to service some portions of the building alone due to the paranormal activity.
