Dakota City Historical Museum

Lights go on and off in the windows of this Iowa museum at night. The guide suggests the founders of Humboldt County, or the wrestler Frank Gotch.

The Dakota City Historical Museum in Iowa is reported by people driving past it at night, who describe shadows and lights going on and off in the windows.

An elderly woman gives tours through the summer, and her own view is that it may be the founders of Humboldt County, or Frank Gotch.

Gotch is worth explaining. He was the world heavyweight wrestling champion, from Humboldt, and around 1910 he was one of the most famous athletes in America. He died in 1917 at thirty nine. In this county he is not a curiosity, he is the local hero, and his name attaches to a great deal.

An update filed in December 2003 added further accounts.

A county museum is full of other people's belongings, which is the same reason antique shops appear so often on lists like this one.
