The Haunting
North Central Correctional Facility is a reportedly haunted cemetery in Rockwell City, Iowa. Reports tied to the site usually focus on disembodied voices, screams, or footsteps and cold spots and abrupt shifts in atmosphere.
Reported account from HauntTracker: In the education building which is one of the oldest buildings on grounds and is said to have previously been the hospital, there have been sightings of a female walking on the lower level, screams, and doors opening and closing. The prison itself was a female prison prior to 1982, and has its own graveyard for several female inmates that passed away while in custody. - October 2007 Update/ Additional Information: It was previously used for different things; an infirmary, and solitary confinement. Many people have claimed to have had experiences there. Nothing too concrete.
The prison itself was a female reformatory opening in the early 1900s. Many of the old buildings are extremely creepy, and many odd sounds are heard. Most can be attributed to old pipes, but once in a while, the hair does go up on the back of one's neck. The cemetery contains graves of women and babies, presumably that died during childbirth. What really adds to the "haunted" feeling is the giant old twisted oak trees that surround the older buildings.
If visiting, treat it as an active public or historic place and follow posted rules.
