Spontaneous Combustion
This house is said to be haunted by two men, a woman, and a child — arsonists who killed a total of six people through their blazes. Today, the house is known to randomly burst in to flames, though no damage is sustained. There are also cold spots and strange odors. Some have even been pushed down the stairs while in the house alone.

If its the one that WAS on se 14th, that one was very creepy. It had a room, that had no door to it. You could see it from where the fire burned through the wall!

I’ve been in the house as well many times and yes it is very haunted. I saw and experienced many things. From bieng pushed to seeing things fly out of cabinets to footsteps and locked doors bieng swung open also the smell of fire and smoke and also the documented photo.The last time I was there I vowed to never go in again. The house is on Hickman Rd, but I won’t divulge the address either as no one wants to be bothered, I was only there as I was friends with the owners son.

yea it seems everyone wants to experience a haunting. i LIVE in a haunted house in des moines ia. ive bin here for my entire life and to start off NO NOBODY can come just to visit and bother anything or anyone in my place of living. i wouldnt risk my familys health for your entertainment. this isnt a flipn carnival. people if you want to experience stuff like that why dont you invest in some equipment and i guarantee you will find something in YOUR OWN place of residence, but fair warning you may not like what you find and they may not like you intruding because after all its them who control things not you. you have to learn to share your home just as if you had to share it with a roommate.

OKAY-Mark. The Mark that claims this house is in Villisca. Please do not post things that you are not certain about. There is a house in Villisca, IA that is haunted but it was not set on fire and does not burst into flame, also 8 people were murdered there-not 6. Completely different house, completely different story. In 1914, a family of 6 and the 2 neighbor girls that were spending the night, returned home from church activities and went to sleep. After the family was sleeping, the person hiding in their attic came out and brutally axed them all. This house is haunted, I’ve been there. Yes you can go to it for a price, but it’s worth it. Also-you don’t have to spend the money to spend the entire night-you can pay a minimal fee and spend an hour or two inside alone or with your friends. If you go at night bring flash lights as there is no electricity. Don’t forget your tape recorder, camera, video camera, and your big girl/boy panties

If people are currently reside in homes that have unexplained activity/sounds and they do not want “visitors” that is completely understandable. However, for those who do know someone who is losing sleep and experiencing unexplained activity and do want to have it confirmed, please drop us a line at ruraliapara2011@gmail.com. We have an excellent track record of either quieting or compelely eliminating any “unexplained” spirits that may be present. There is a great deal in this world that we do not yet understand. The spirit world and our economic “experts” are just two of them!! HAHA.
