Des Moines, Iowa may seem quiet, but its history is laced with dark chapters that still echo today. In the 1800s, the city was home to brutal frontier justice, unsolved murders, and a network of underground tunnels used for smuggling and Prohibition-era crime. From the hauntings of the Drake University Observatory, to sightings of the ghost of a nun, and the tragic tale of Eda at the Jordan House Museum, there is no shortage of haunting tales in Des Moines.
