Summary
When Chuck and Joy Hanson went looking for a quiet farm in Iowa, they didn’t expect to buy one of the most haunted locations in the state—the Mason House Inn. Built in 1846 for steamboat travelers, it still serves guests today… some of whom never left! The Hansons thought they’d coexist peacefully with the ghost of an elderly woman, but instead, they’ve encountered hundreds of spirits over the years. Some might flee in terror, but for Chuck and Joy, these ghosts are just part of the family. Join us for Part One of A Family of Spirits, as we chat with the Hansons about their haunted home.
