EDINBURGH MANOR

 

Edinburgh Manor has a reputation as intense as has been witnessed on paranormal shows like Destination Fear and Ghost Adventures. Are you brave enough to join Riverside Paranormal and experience the terror for yourself? 

 

As the manor’s website states:

 

The town of Edinburgh was originally the county seat of Jones County. In June 1840, the land located at section 36 in Wayne Township was originally deeded for courthouse purposes with the grant being signed by President Buchanan. Shortly after this grant, the county seat was changed from Edinburgh and the commissioners kept the grant for the establishment of the County Poor Farm. Described as a "comfortable retreat for the lazy, able-bodied and willingly dependent applicants," the Poor Farm housed the poor, incurably insane and disabled. Tenants were given shelter and food for their labor. They would farm agriculture and livestock. The poor farm was in operation from 1850-1910 and in that time there were over 150+ documented deaths on the property.

 

In 1910, the poor farm closed down and was demolished. Edinburgh Manor was then constructed from 1910-1911 to house the incurably insane, poor and the elderly. Edinburgh Manor, also referred to as The Manor, was in operation until November 2010.

 

Medical documents and personal belongings can still be found in The Manor. When the last patients and employees left the building in 2010, they never returned. (Credit to: https://edinburghmanor.wixsite.com/edinburgh/history).

 

It is believed that almost one hundred “workers” (also known as inmates and/ or residents) died on the grounds and were buried in an eerie cemetery on the property. Regarded by many as the most haunted location in the state of Iowa, it was a place of darkness, fear, and hopelessness for all who entered. The echo of this torrid past still lingers to this day. Visitors have experienced everything from full bodied apparitions, EVP recordings, being touched, and hearing disembodied giggling, screaming and moaning. What will the former “workers” want to tell you? What horrific experience will they share with you to tell the world?
