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 grew up in Clinton on the 1800 block of Roosevelt St. So Shick Hospital is now Cambridge apartments. I never had any ghost sightings growing up there.

Im very interested in getting a closer look at the Abbley house in Galena. Ive been there several times but never went real close to the house itself out of respect for others property. I was up there last night and saw unexpectedly not much has changed..other than the bridge being almost impassable by vehicle. I was under the impression someone had bought the hosue and fixed up the property. Still a very creepy place as it was 15 years ago.
I saw someone claiming to know the owner of this house. If possible I would love to take a closer look sometime as Ive been wondering about it for 15+ years. Im not some drunk kid looking for a place to party…just out of curiousity more than anything.
Please contact me if you can help .

Why isn’t the Villisca Axe Murder House on here? That was a real event and everyone that has ever visited has seen something or felt something. This website sucks!

I used to live on 4th avenue north when i was younger (16 now) and my older sister and then step-mom walked up to the springdale cemetary at night. they came running home and said they saw a light just floating. they didnt see anyone attached to it, it was just floating.

my grandma used to live in a house on pershing blvd until like 2 or 3 yrs ago. the house is very old and when i was younger, my older sister and brother, my dad, and i lived with my grandma. my sister and i shared a room in the attic. at first i thought it was just my imagination but i would here footsteps coming down the hallway into our room. after awhile my sister said she heard them too and we refused to sleep up there. we slept on a pull out couch downstairs and constantly heard footsteps in our room in the attic. just recently, my sister and i were talking to my dad about my grandmas house and he asked us if we heard the footsteps in our room. we said yes and he said when him and my uncle david shared the room, they heard them ALL the time. My grandpa died from a heart attack in the house but i dont know any other history besides that

John Forrst,
I was wondering about the Cotton House on 18th Ave N, in Clinton Iowa that you were talking about. I’ve lived in the Clinton area my entire life and I’ve never heard of anything haunted around here, besided supposedly Cambridge. If you have a minute, email me (cwr101106@hotmail.com) with the details. I’d love to check it out.

I heard a tape that was recorded in a cambridge apartment. The freakiest thing ever! A small tape recorder was left on by an 8 year old girl. The tape recorder was left in a bedroom. Later, her mother found it and played it. She could not understand what she was hearing. The recording was incomprehensible except for the mother, daughter, the mothers friend, and her boyfriend. The daughter played the recording in slow play. In slow play you could not understand the living in the room but a voice said, “I’m going to kill all 4 of you”. I heard the tape played in slow and normal speed. It’s TRUE and REAL!! p.s. Nothing ever happened to them.
