Rogue’s Hollow
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.

The Thirteen Steps are real!!! If you are going to visit there though, please make sure that you are respectful. I live in Cedar Rapids, and have been an IOWA resident all of my life. The police department are very watchful of this area and know that there are those that are using it as a game. I suggest, if you are for real, to arrange a time that the authorities know that you are there. If you are reallt investigating and are legit, you should not have any issues getting permission.
There are many places in CR that are hsunted as well and contrary to popular belief, Scary S**T does happen in the land of Corn and Cows!!!

I’ve heard of Thirteen Steps and have lived in Iowa my whole life. If you are truly looking for a creepy place to visit, try any of the older buildings in Marion, like the Granger House or the Heritage Museum. In all the times I’ve been in the granger house, I always got the feeling of being watched.

The Abbley house is right down the road from one of my dad’s farms. The most recent story I have heard is a lady from chicago bought it for a weekend cabin but other people in the area say she is only by herself & looks like a storybook witch. I go down to the end of the road every once & a while to see if anyone is outside & meet the owner but have never seen anyone there. I never see any cars there or people in the windows or anything. The Abbley house is out of Galena IL to the east on stagecoach trail about 2 miles then you go north on posey hollow road when you go under the railroad tracks go left & follow that all the way to the rickety old bridge over the galena river & there it sits way back to the north but there is a gate to get in that is always locked. Oh yea that is the end of the road too it used to go into galena years ago but got washed out in the 30s & never put back. when you leave go straight past posey hollow on the gravel take that to the stop sign then go left up the hill to council hill station there is a Jo Daviess county history book with the story of the Abbley house in it & all 3 familys that were murdered by the man of the household.

From the ghost trains,crybaby bridge,the ghost car,the phantom horse and buggy,the miner,the stairway to hell. If anyone has any questions please e-mail me at bobosgirl44305@yahoo.com

Ok, I have a friend who lived for a short time at Caimbridge apartments, and she used to tell me about wierd stuff, or feeling wierd a lot, so I’m sure there’s some things going on there.
Now, for Rogue’s Hollow, I grew up in Clinton, and have never heard of it, I’d love to go visit it when I’m home once…how about someone posting those directions?
Springdale Cemetary…now that’s a spooky place. Been there in the heat of summer and been followed by a car with a driver covered in black coat, hat, and gloves…ghost or axe murderer I’ll never know, but didn’t go back to find out.

I’ve lived in Clinton my whole life, and have been to Cambridge many, many times. I used to run the halls, and I have never seen anything ghostly or bizarre. I guess you only see what you want to see. I did hear that the Penthouse Lounge was haunted. I used to hang there too, and never saw anything, although many people have told me they have.
