Community Connections: Eerie Iowa with Michael McCarty and Bruce Walters

Witness the Darker Side of the Hawkeye State!

The farmlands and rural areas of Iowa are no stranger to the weird, dark, and mysterious. Learn about a terrestrial sighting from 1903, a creepy cryptid that terrorized the town of Van Meter. Find out about Bigfoot sightings in Calhoun County. Peer under the waters of Lake Okoboji to find a huge lake monster. Read the history of a frightening sculpture based on a story by Franz Kafka, and hear a premonition that predicted a devastating fire.

In their new book, "Eerie Iowa," five-time Bram Stoker Finalist author Michael McCarty and Professor Emeritus Bruce Walters forge a twisted path through shadowy, Gothic Iowa. Do you dare follow?
