Would you opt to spend your afterlife in a castle if given the option? It seems a number of its former inhabitants from various historical eras have made that very choice. Among them, some are benign and gentle, and some, not quite so.

Wonderful experience - Spooky but enough history to be fun. Guides were funny but could be serious when it was needed. I enjoyed the pace .

Don't miss!! - The castle lit up from outside, impressive also the view from the 2nd story...awesome!!! Strange that the children were separated by sex and that the military disposed of so much furniture instead of giving the Pythians the opportunity to store it.

After booking the tour, I... - After booking the tour, I received promotional email with an offer of $25 off first Time guest. Could not find a way to redeem. I probably will not use you again and will pass this information on to any willing to listen

Loved the location. Smaller groups would be better! - Love the location and the tour guide wa informative. Wish we could’ve seen some of the room upstairs. Unfortunately the people in the tour were disrespectful to the memory of the place and the ghosts which lessened the enjoyment and I felt like were disrespectful to the tour guide which was annoying. The location definitely is interesting and would love to know more history but I think smaller groups would be much more beneficial

Could be great! - This could be a very cool experience, my daughter and I went on a saturday night. It was very busy and over booked in my opinion. There were about 60 people, they did split us up. If this place is haunted, no one would know with the amount of people on tour. All in all a cool place for 20$ id like to do it again when alot less busy. Less talky more epxploring and listening!

A silly staged tour. - So silly. The power of suggestion was very heavy. The guide made sure we knew she was half scared I guess to scare the guests. Everything was staged. Dark rooms with flickering lights. A fake skull. Very silly. Sadly some of the guests actually bought into such silliness and at least acted like they were scared. I was a skeptic when I went in and convinced going out of the idiocy of such nonsense.

They kinda took the site down a notch - If there is any significant historic or haunting elements here, they were definitely extinguished by the fake decor and talking animatronic skeletons...
