Sioux City, Iowa — The Woodbury County Board of Supervisors have given permission for a local group to investigate claims the old county home known as the Prairie Hills facility just outside of Sioux City is haunted.
Dave Lafleur of the group Para 911 made the request.
Lafleur says there have been people who have worked at Prairie Hills who have heard or seen things they couldn’t explain.
He hopes to talk to current and former county employees about their experiences, and says they will report back on the investigation.
Supervisors chairman, Rocky DeWitt says the county is not paying the group to do the investigation and the investigators will sign liability waivers.
DeWitt says he will accompany them for a one-day private investigation that’s expected to take ten hours. The Woodbury County Supervisors approved the investigation on a 3-2 vote. Para 911 has been investigating area phenomena since 2008.
