Paranormal Quest
Edinburg Manor is said to be Iowa's most haunted asylum! Many brave visitors have left with life-changing paranormal experiences. Ryan and Dave will spend the night in search of ghostly evidence of life after death. Once the poor farm for Jones County, Iowa this land was said to be cursed before the Manor was ever built. From 1850 - 1910, the poor, criminals, or those with nowhere to go would find shelter at the poor farm in exchange for physical labor. Many people spent the rest of their lives here unable to escape the cycle of the Jones County Poor House. In 1910 the farm closed and by 1911 a new structure was built in its place to house the incurably insane, the poor and the elderly. This structure would be called Edinburg Manor. Edinburgh Manor, also referred to as The Manor, was in operation until November 2010 when it closed due to insufficient funds. After the living residents left, it appears that those who died their may still call Edinburg Manor home. Phantom footsteps, voices, and apparitions are perceived and captured on video and audio inside the building. People have been pushed, had their hair pulled, and even scratched by an unseen force that is said to reside inside these walls. Ryan and Dave will stay for 12 hours inside the Manor to find out if it truly is haunted.
