Step back in time to the haunting history of Edinburgh Manor, a site with a dark past that still lingers in the present. Originally established as the Jones County Poor Farm in the 1830s, this almshouse provided refuge for the sick, poor, and elderly. With over 150 deaths recorded during its operation, the manor holds a legacy of hardship and sorrow that echoes through the halls to this day. Transitioning through various roles as an insane asylum and nursing home, Edinburgh Manor saw its fair share of tragedy and unrest. Today, as a preserved historical building, it has become a hotspot for paranormal activity and ghostly encounters. From the menacing presence known as The Joker in the basement to the playful spirit of a young girl named Sally on the first floor, Edinburgh Manor is teeming with supernatural energy. Join us as we delve into the chilling tales of shadow figures, disembodied voices, and unexplained phenomena that have been reported by visitors and investigators alike. Explore the mysteries of Edinburgh Manor and uncover the ghostly residents who refuse to leave, making it a place where the past truly refuses to rest.
