Witness the Darker Side of the Hawkeye State!The farmlands and rural areas of Iowa are no stranger to the weird, dark, and mysterious. Learn about a terrestrial sighting from 1903, a creepy cryptid that terrorized the town of Van Meter. Find out about Bigfoot sightings in Calhoun County. Peer under the waters of Lake Okoboji to find a huge lake monster. Read the history of a frightening sculpture based on a story by Franz Kafka, and hear a premonition that predicted a devastating fire.
In their new book, "Eerie Iowa," five-time Bram Stoker Finalist author Michael McCarty and Professor Emeritus Bruce Walters forge a twisted path through shadowy, Gothic Iowa. Do you dare follow?
