Before the Halloween Season ends, which is soon because August is nearly over, I feel it's my duty to point out Scary Halloween Travel Destination you may not have considered before: Iowa. Don't panic. I'm not going to overwhelm you with all the Paranormal Wonders In Iowa. Just two two of them. Starting with The Villisca Axe Murder House. That's where, on the night of June 9, 1912, six members of the Moore family and two house guests were bludgeoned to death with an axe. Some people say the house is haunted. You can see for yourself---If you're lucky. Ghosts don't always appear for those who want to see them---by spending the night in the house. Or you can take the less scary route with a simple tour during the day. Next up, we have The Van Meter Visitor Festival. Van Meter is a suburb of Des Moines and in 1903, there were many sightings of a large creature that was dubbed The Bulletproof Bat Monster. It got that name by looking like a bat and surviving being shot by many scared townspeople with guns. There haven't been many sightings of The Bulletproof Bat Monster since 1903 but if you go to The Van Meter Visitor Festival in September, you might get lucky. That's it for this Halloween Travel Guide. Will there be more? Stay tuned and find out. ************ Villisca Axe Murder House https://villiscaiowa.com/history.php ------------------------------------------------------- Van Meter Visitor Festival https://www.facebook.com/vanmetervisitorfestival/ ------------------------------------------------------- Van Meter Visitor festival keeps the hunt alive https://www.adelnews.com/news/20171002/van-meter-visitor-festival-keeps-hunt-alive ------------------------------------------------------- Meet The Bulletproof Bat Monster Of Van Meter, Iowa
