The Villisca Axe Murder House
508 E 2nd St, Villisca, IA 50864, USA
The Villisca Axe Murder House is not a hotel but the site of a horrific unsolved crime in 1912, where eight people, including six children, were murdered in their beds. It's considered one of the most haunted locations in America due to this tragic event. Visitors and overnight guests report a range of intense paranormal activity: hearing children's voices, disembodied whispers, doors opening and closing, moving objects, strong emotional feelings (sadness, anger), and even physical sensations like scratches or being pushed. Audio recordings often capture Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP), particularly believed to be the voices of the young victims.
