History is full of stories that haunt through the passage of time. Iowa City’s spooky secrets include a network of hidden, manmade underground beer caves and tunnels used in a different era, Iowa’s first embalming room in a funeral parlor which is now repurposed as a popular downtown bar, faint remnants of a house where sick townspeople would be ordered to stay until they recovered (or died), and the sad history of a grieving woman who installed the now-notorious Black Angel monument in a local cemetery, but the statue turned from gold to black, resulting in a century of scary tales and local superstitions.
