Haunted Places in Iowa
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.
The Villisca Axe Murder House is the location of one of the most horrific and unsolved true crimes in the United States. 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.
