Other major movies that aren't horror that were filmed in Iowa are classics like,

Field of Dreams

Twister (It's more suspenseful than horror)

Cold Turkey

Ghosts Of The Station

Today we will be looking at three ghost sightings, and the spots they were seen at.

These three "Ghosts" could all be the same one or three different ones. Though I still think the Music video ghost is by far the creepiest. As far as we know that was the only figure we ever caught on film, and not just in a picture.

Iowa Cat Crystals

Crystal Cats Cleansing is all about helping the cats of Iowa. They found a way to do that, and be able to start a business with something they love. You can see some of the crystals they have right now.
