VILLISCA, Iowa —

The Villisca Ax Murder House is probably the most notorious home in Iowa.

The story of the 1912 murders can be told by the people of the town who know it by heart.

Six children and two adults were murdered in the house overnight between June 9 and 10, 1912. The home itself is now said to be haunted.

In 2011, KCCI’s Keri Gavin spent a late night with a team trying to capture ghosts on video. Watch that story below.
