VILLISCA, Iowa (KETV) — In 1999, a team of ghost hunters spent the night in the infamous Villisca Axe Murder House to see if they could crack the case.
In 1912, a local businessman, his wife, their four children, and two overnight guests were brutally murdered with an ax inside the Iowa home. To this day the case remains unsolved.
The paranormal investigators set up super sensitive microphones, infrared cameras, and other high tech gear as they attempted to communicate with the dead.
The group experienced unexplained noises, and they caught a small white bubble on camera, which they believed was one of the spirits.
“This area has two ghosts in it and they have opened the closet doors, closed them in front of people. What’s in here is borderline demonic. This is something that has not been a person. It has never manifested as a human being,” Abbott said.
In 1992, the executive director of Landmarks Inc., the historic preservation organization that was looking after the supposedly haunted Joslyn Castle, recounted the odd experience she had.
