Real Haunted Houses

Real Haunted House

Rogue’s Hollow

Clinton, Iowa

This whole area of town is haunted by the victims of a derailed train. Sometimes the light of the train may be seen. The main complaint, however, is that if one is crossing the tracks, his car will stall. The only thing he can do is sit there and let the phantom train pass through his vehicle. The nearby mill, which has been abandoned for many years, is said to start up every Halloween.

I have never heard of this one, but my husband, Calvin Milder, has told me about the house on 4th Ave N where his cousin, Bill Greathouse used to live, had a ghost. He also told me about the haunted warehouse formerly operated by Carlon, now torn down, where only he was brave to go to after dark. And he also said strange things happened at the old train depot.

We now live in FL, hurricane country. We don’t miss the snow at all.

Does anyone live near cambridge apartments or have stories from there, I’ve drivin by and did some work near them once. they always gave me a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. I also have heard that the facier day spa that is on 2nd street near lyons is haunted. What about Joyce Mansion or the Aylett Cotton house I remember hearing something about a fire once and the widow being burned alive looking for her dead husband out on the river when out on her widow walk. Anyone else heard of this?

I used to live in the cambridge apartments. couldnt say if i had ever seen anything weird, just weird people LOL. Its in the North end of clinton toward Eagle Point park. Address is 2604 N 4th St. Also near the Eagle Point Nursing Home and the Skyline center. Going towards Eagle Point Park from the north end of clinton, you will see kwik star, go past main ave. and go up about a block or two and take a left, which you could turn left on 25th 26th or even 27th ave N and you will run into it either way. Its a Big Complex. hope my directions to the Cambridge Place Apartment were good enough.

I used to live in Clinton. I lived in the north end Lyons, and have visited the cambridge aprtments many times, and never had any experiances. My friends and I went ghost hunting with our camera’s there once too and turned up nothing. Im not a debunker tho. I very much belive in ghost because, I have experianced it. they are real!

My comment was longer but, I guesse it chopped half of it off. I want further to say, that the possibility of some unsettled souls still residing at cambridge, is possible, because the facility used to be a veterans hospital many years ago. I however experianced nothing there. The same night my friends and i went ghost hunting and gambridge and turned u nothing, we stopped also at the cemetary across the street from mount St claire college, and got wome weird stuff on the pictures

Someone asked how to get to the Abbley house, i was actually there last night. its was a pretty cool experience.

I’ve been to the Abbley house before and it makes for one hell of a scary night. The first night my friends and I went a small light was lit on the inside of the house, but just last saturday we went again this time with a night vision video camera but when we arrived lights were lit all over the house. We waited to see what was up and eventually someone walked outside and whistled at us so we left, but we are still planning on going there again because from the stories we’ve heard about this place it has to be haunted, just looking at the tree where the husband hung himself is creepy enough, especially since it will never burn down.

for the love of god what about rouges hollow?

vikki says:

fyi: there was a book published about rouges hollow many years ago– can be found in libraries still . photos , history & such . cases of the “activities” there claim to have been documented by authorities ? until about 25-30 yrs. ago the book was sold @ a residence in the hollow , by a woman known as the “witch” [by her own account]. she was elderly @ that time , doubt she’s still alive –she would tell stories of the hollow & her experiences , sell maps of the different locations & tell a brief story of why the hollow is the way it is , which is based on real cases of tragity over a long period of time . it was a mining community . last time i was there many of the roads were closed with access to the numerous sites limited .
