History & Paranormal Activity

A county home for the poor, mentally ill, and criminal from 1850 to 2010. The building is one of Iowa's most active paranormal sites — investigators document a demonic entity known as 'the Joker' that has scratched and slapped visitors, full-body apparitions throughout the wards, and a collection of EVPs that consistently respond coherently to questions.
