Spirits of the military personal and patients haunt the spot today. The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum offers 2-hour paranormal tours that take guests to four spots that are known to be the most haunted.

Back on June 10, 1912, a gruesome crime took place at the house at 508 East Second Street in a small Iowa town. The family of Josiah Moore, which included his wife, his 4 children and 2 young girls who were visiting, were brutally murdered. It stunned the small country town and they never did find out who was responsible. Residents of the home have said they have seen visions of a man holding an ax and have heard children crying. There have also been a number of unexplained paranormal activities reported. The home was restored in 1994 to its original condition with no electricity or plumbing. The grisly home hosts lamplight tours from April to November. Overnight experiences are also available.
