Today I learned that Dubuque, Iowa, the oldest city in the state, was officially chartered in 1833. With a long history like that, this river city is sure to have some ghosts lingering around.

A local store that was snapping pictures of furniture may have captured a ghost.

I have written many ghost sighting stories... and some Bigfoot ones too. This has led to people sending me their strange and spooky photos. I loved this one since my most viral Bigfoot story also came from Dubuque. The person who snagged this photo has chosen to remain anonymous. Here is what they said.

"Hey Jake. I know this looks like a rag, but this area is always empty. We've had strange things happen here over the years. This building has been in Dubuque for years. We are now looking into its history."

The Ghost Photo

The first photo looks like nothing special if I'm being honest. Allegedly there is a ghost in the right hand corner.

Again I think it looks like a rag, but if we go off of the original poster who gave us the rights to post this... it has to be something.  It kind of looks like the rabbit from Donnie Darko.

About Dubuque's History

Dubuque’s location to the Mississippi and its abundant land and resources, attracted large numbers of immigrants, particularly Irish and Germans, from overcrowded cities on the east coast. The Black Hawk Purchase Treaty allowed miners the first opportunity to settle along the banks west of the Mississippi and those that moved westward referred to Dubuque as the “Key City”—the place in which the door to their dreams of a better life was opened. Settlers to this vibrant river city were known for mining and fur-trading, but later flourished in the industries of button making, boat building, logging, mill working, meat packing, and other heavy industries. Since then, the community has had a long-standing manufacturing sector and a growing service sector. Dubuque is now the major retail, medical, education and employment center for the tri-state area.
