We captured some disturbing EVPs. They are very faint. You may need earphones in order to hear. Our camera audio captured the woman's scream. This was quickly followed by a female voice asking for help and by a male voice saying get off the bed that was captured on our hand-held recorders.
The below video captures the scream heard by our investigator who was outside the building. the two investigators inside did not hear it.

History - Today there is no trace of the original Jones County Poor Farm in Scotch Grove Iowa. Built in 1850, it was, according to a local newspaper account in December 1909, – ‘an ancient frame structure built over 50 years ago and until a few years ago inmates were not provided with chairs but had to sit on the floor or benches’.
In 1910 the building was on the verge of being condemned. County commissioners recommended demolishing the building and building a new more modern facility. Today that building is known as Edinburgh Manor. Built during 1910-1911, Edinburgh housed the insane, the poor and the elderly until 2010 when financial strain caused it to cease operation. Claims – Visitors to the Manor claim to hear unexplained voices, noises and screams and to see a black shadow. Several spirits are said to haunt the building including one who is said to choke visitors. Our Findings - We investigated Edinburgh on a rainy night in April 2019. Temps ranged from the mid-40s to the low 50’s during our investigation. We set up four static night vision cameras covering the first and second floor wards and the basement. Almost immediately strange things started to occur. While we investigated the entire building, the activity seemed to be centered on the first floor. We captured unexplained voices and lights - that didn't exist - turning on by themselves. The most disturbing experience occurred when one of our investigators, who was outside in our mobile command center the following morning, clearly heard a female’s agonizing scream coming from inside the building. This scream was not heard by the investigators in the building but was caught on our camera audio. Is Edinburgh Manor haunted? This time we would have to say yes and we will definitely be coming back for a follow up investigation! |
Here are two videos taken from two different cameras that show a lamp being turned on in the men's dorm room on the first floor. There were no lamps in the room. Watch the left doorway in the first video and the left side of the second video. We have no explanation.
