12 Staggering Photos Of An Abandoned Asylum Hiding In Iowa
It’s not uncommon to find abandoned buildings in Iowa. In fact, if you drive anywhere through rural Iowa, you’re almost guaranteed to see an abandoned barn or farmhouse. In our ghost towns there are abandoned factories and schools, and in some towns, there are abandoned asylums. One in particular is incredibly eerie – check out these photos of the shuttered Edinburgh Manor in Scotch Grove.



There are over 80 graves on the site, and many of the workers died under preventable, labor-related circumstances. It is said that their spirits still haunt these grounds.

Edinburgh Manor was constructed in 1910, and opened in 1911. It was announced that the property would be home to the incurably insane, the poor and the elderly.
