Malvern

Right.

But then I've also had the thought, and I'm like, well, if she had 13 different personalities, and for whatever reason those personalities do travel on with her, maybe it's just Gracie that's haunting Malvern Manor.

Maybe it's just her.

Oh, that's a really interesting concept.

Yeah.

So it's, it's, it's interesting for sure.

But I mean, like, even Gracie's glasses are still inside of Malvern Manor, sitting right on her nightstand exactly where they were left.

Like, again, like, all of these things, like her wheelchair is still there.

[eerie music] Today on the Grave Talks, a conversation about Malvern Manor.

[mysterious music] In the late 1800s to early 1900s, Malvern Manor in the tiny town of Malvern, Iowa, was a thriving family-owned hotel.

But the railroad that kept it in business lost passengers due to the popularity of automobiles.

It was then converted into a facility for the troubled, with patients who suffered from everything from drug addiction to schizophrenia calling it home.

The conditions were deplorable, and numerous horror stories circulated during Malvern Manor's existence.

The allegations led to it being shut down.

Many believe that the building's paranormal activity stems from the neglect and mistreatment of patients.

They locked the doors and walked away, but it's now open again, but not for the faint of heart.

My wife's from a small town, Oakland, Iowa.

I'm from Malvern, Iowa.

So population of like 1,200 for both towns.

And family's involved in farming and her dad has cattle and stuff like that.

Not real gold, but it was a gold coin.

And it was a Malvern, Iowa official coin that he gave me, and he was holding this for a while.

And it made me feel really special, but it was a pretty badass little gift that he gave me.

Does that mean that he listens to the podcast? He does.
