Summary
Tucked away in the small town of Malvern, Iowa, stands a building with a history as chilling as the activity that now fills its empty halls. Malvern Manor began in the late 1800s as a family-owned hotel, serving travelers from the nearby railroad. But when the age of the automobile took over, the guests stopped coming—and the building’s purpose took a much darker turn. Converted into a convalescent home, it housed patients suffering from addiction, schizophrenia, and other mental illnesses. Reports of neglect, abuse, and inhumane conditions plagued its reputation until it was finally shut down—its doors locked, everything left behind. Today, Malvern Manor is open once again, but not for healing. Paranormal investigators, skeptics, and thrill-seekers now visit to confront whatever still resides there. We talk with owner Josh Heard to explore the haunted legacy of one of Iowa’s most terrifying locations. This is Part Two of our conversation.
