Haunted Places in Iowa - SassyGirl

I've been getting ready to go do some Ghost Hunting soon. I think spring is finally here in Iowa and I like to go check out place that are haunted. I did some searches to see if there was anything around me close. I found 2 right in Algona which is only 10 miles from me. I didn't even know there was anything there. Here they are:

Algona - Gypsy Grave Yard - Just north of town is a small graveyard with an even smaller graveyard fenched off towards the back. It has been said that when the Gypsy wagon train would pass through town back in the 1800's, and one of there flock was sick and dying, in stead of taking them further on the journey and not having Gypsy hallowed ground to bury them in, they would just bury them there while still alive. Many ghostly figures have been seen walking around, and if you cross the small fence and walk on hallowed ground you will be cursed. This is a favorite haunt for the local teens.

Algona - Plum Creek Pits - Back in the far corner of the pits, there has been a little boy said to be playing near the waters edge. Legend has it that the little boy was running back to the river on the other side of the pits when he tripped on a stone and was stabbed by a stick he had fallen on. Some local fishermen who use to fish there say they have seen this boy walking on the bank of the pit. When they yelled to him he seemed to have looked up and ran back towards the river and disappeared. Nobody knows what this boys name was or how old he was.

I can't wait to go check these out but first I would have to get permission to be on this land from the landowner. I'll let you all know what I see when we get there. Not sure if I wanna go at night though. I'm a big chicken! LOL
