The Franklin Castle (Hannes Tiedemann House)

11 Haunted Castles for Spine-Tingling Supernatural Encounters This Halloween | Vogue

"Looming over Franklin Boulevard in Cleveland, this 19th-century pile carries a string of dark turns—from the Civil War–era tragedy of the original owners to a later family’s reconstruction as a castle after their daughter’s mysterious death, human bones discovered behind a wall in 1975, and an arson fire in the late ’90s allegedly set because the place was “pure evil.” Now restored, it hides secret chambers behind double brick walls and more than 60 windows across 15-plus rooms, and paranormal researchers describe it as an “energetic amplifier” that can sway a visitor’s mood—so don’t arrive in a bad one. The truly intrepid can book overnight rooms or even a full buyout, with late-night tours offered on select dates." - Nicole Kliest
