Haunted Homicide - The Witch’s Castle
In this first story, we’ll go back over one hundred years to learn about a Romeo and Juliet story that ended in cold-blooded murder. On the property where the killing took place now sits a stone building known by locals as “The Witch’s Castle.” Some say that the restless spirits of the murdered man, his widow, and the killer roam the area on nights when the moon is full. This is the story of the murder of Mortimer Stump and the haunting of The Witch’s Castle.
