Haunted Squire's Castle 

WOW ! I can't believe you had a story in Squares Castle! 50 years ago I went to school in Mentor Ohio and my Cousin took me and my Brothers to the castle and back then there were hippies all over the grounds smoking dope, playing frisbee, playing loud music , dancing. I was 12 at the time and you have brought so many memories back to me about my brothers and cousin visiting squires castle. Thank you! You guys made my day !

I can see this being a beautiful venue for a wedding. If I was ever to marry I again I'd seriously consider this place for the ceremony.

ok everybody--how about the Kirtland melonheads? My husbands family lived in lake co since 1902--this is what they told me because when i was n hi school the boys would take us there to scare us sooooooooo here goes---the doc was Kroh not crow he was an equine vet ( livestock) His house was on Wisner rd right off of mentor rd. Hw hardly made any money so his place was rundown. There were no children there ever. Experimentaning on children? Na--Children with hydroencephalitis would die within a year after birth. The house isnt there because it burned down. He was partner with Dr Jim Sasala in mentor who passed away at 90+. Seven of my husbands aunts told me the same story. No fact, all myth😄😆😅🤣😙

I appreciate your dedication and thoughtful historical research you provide for our education and understanding of how and why these residual energies exist. Thank you for being so professional and thorough.

Such a shame this beautiful building was left abandoned!

started watching you because of your content, then realized you covered a lot of ohio stuff. found out we’re from the same state, so kept watching! good stuff man!

Another excellent video from the best channel on RU-vid! Well researched and respectfully presented as always no click bait, no sensationalist over dramatising just excellent content. Thanks curious history, you're the best!

Just started watching your videos and wanted to say wow amazing stories.

Love the mixture of history and haunting in your videos 😊

Would have loved to see what it actually looked like all those years ago.Too bad no one made it into a museum before the inside was destroyed.

I've been there it's a beautiful location in Cleveland Metro park and a great place to spend the afternoon plenty of picnic area's

When you mentioned vandalism and the consequences it made my blood boiled. Absolutely horrible and heartbreaking.

I live about 10 minutes away I walk through the wood here all the time it’s beautiful!

It seems a shame that it was almost gutted. It certainly is beautiful.

We would regularly take our kids to Squire's Castle, picnic on the gounds and hike the trails behind it. It's a beautiful part of Lake County.

So glad to start my day with a brand new CH video! What a beautiful place! Thank you for posting today! Love it! Amazing how legends get built around a place.

Another GREAT story! What a beautiful building and grounds! Once again THANK YOU! ❤ ❤ ❤ Patricia Gambino Harrington

I love castles,not many round USA

I know most won't believe me but there is a spirit there. It's been years since it happened me and 2 of my friends went there one night when it was closer to winter. There was absolutely nobody there besides us. We got there at around 8ish, and we sat around for a couple hours and nothing. Around close to 10, the air became colder. I started to get a sharp pain in my back so i and one of my friends took me back to the car. We stopped a little past the sign by the parking lot and my friend turned around. I turned to see a white apperation in the grass by the path. We heard our other friend (who was by the castle) scream, and he came running down the path and past the white figure. We all ran back to the car. There was a thud in the trash can on the way back. We looked inside it but there wasn't any animal inside or running from it. When we got to the car, the friend who screamed said his back was burning. He lifted his shirt, and there were 3 marks on his back that looked freshly made. There was nobody or animal near him. I was an atheist until that night. I will never forget. Thank you for acknowledging the history and sightings at this place.

I bet the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) has a field day here. Lovely home with an interesting back story. Thank you.

What a beautiful place but so sad that it’s been gutted on the inside and is just an empty shell of its former glory. I just don’t get the mindset of those that willfully and purposely destroy other peoples property or belongings, from cemeteries to old historical houses. The few making it bad for the many. I would have loved to have been able to see what it looked like on the inside when it was a private home. Sounds like the wife was a right witch though, wanting to spend all her time in town and not appreciative of all that peace and quiet of the country and “was bored”. My Grandma always said there was no such thing as being bored, only being a boring person. I am inclined to believe she was exactly right in this case.

It's a shame the castle was stripped bare. Despite the staring animal heads in the trophy room, it must have looked very nice inside. I love a good ghost story, especially the history of the haunting is told in the story.

Very cool. Imagine if it were restored to old English standards.

Any thoughts on doing a dive into Franklin's Castle in Ohio City? Would love to see it. Keep up the good work, I really enjoy watching these mini-docs.

I got married on the steps of squire's Castle on Halloween morning 2021. Love the place, but never got any haunted vibes of the place. It's just a cool location with good hiking behind it.

I love history and really love the spooky haunting side of it

I wonder how closely related the Squires' of Squires' Castle are related to the branch of Squires' that immigrated to Columbia Township in the 1840s. I used to live in the former second home of "Farmer Squire", in what was his "Townhome" in the center of town, which later went to his son. Their other home, the farmhouse, sat on a road that was later named for him, Squires Road.

I went there once, years ago, to check it out. It is definitely an impressive structure, and the history is a big part of the allure for me. Great vid!

Love castles, big or small. Thanks for sharing this story.

Great video!! Can remember visiting this location numerous times while in the scouts growing up during 1960s-1970s. Been there a few times this century and explored all those hiking trails in the woods behind. never experienced/seem anything that I should not experience/see but did see a big PWL sitting on a tree limb while hiking the trails.

So sad that part of the building had to be removed because of thieves. It is a beautiful place. As always thank you for your program. 🧐 Shirl K - Texas

Thanks for sharing this story 👍 so much to learn about Ohio.

Your videos are so beautifully presented, always a treat to watch. I love castles. I'm from Scotland and we have plenty of very old, and very haunted castles over here!

Well done as usual my friend I would like to have a paranormal experience then maybe I wouldn't be such a skeptic Had the one at Jenny Wade house but that could be explained away as many things I want one that can't be explained

So sad someone had to destroy this beautiful peace of history. Still absolutely beautiful. Thank You for the journey……..

I grew up about a 15 minute walk from this Castle. We used to go down there all the time and play around the castle and in the vast woods behind. Growing up there I never heard of the castle being haunted. Or had any strange encounters or happenings while playing around or in the castle. 👻 👻 👻 👻 👻

Another great video 🔥🍻

Another great video! I really look forward to them. 😊

Awesome history lesson thank you for taking us with you! ❤️

I have to say the construction on this Castle is really beautiful. It's also too bad Vandals had to do their destruction. Interesting story on this man and his wife. Thanks for the video.

Hello John, I've always loved a good ghost story, thanks for your time and hard efforts sir, at A boy. May you and your family have a fantastic 4th of July!!!

Claiming this is haunted on social media will make it much harder for the Metro Park Rangers, but great story. These remains are great for park attraction.

Don't know if it's good or bad, but I've never been approached by a spirit. I do love stories about them though. Thanks for sharing. Blessings from Michigan.

Well done!! Another wonderful vid from Curios History! Loving this channel! Thanks!

I admit at first I was like, "wait! No! Hey!" You got me. I am really enjoying watching your vlogs. They are very insightful and well researched and though this sounds silly, a good length for me and my hectic life. You're like Pringles though. I just can't "eat" one!

Magnificent structure. Makes me wish I could be a mega lottery winner and fix it up. I'd still let people play on the lawn It would be a sensational Bed and Breakfast! Love the music!

Places give rise to the legends.And legends attract people. This is amazing! Truly appreciate your efforts and eyes to unlock such legendary places before us. Never seen such a beautiful hunted English countryside palace. One thing to admit here that unlike your previous hunted house that looked cursed and shadowy, this one looks very bright and beautiful during day. Even people are seen to enter this building. Nothing to my eyes appears abnormal. Who knows what it turns into during night?

Haunted 😂😂😂 i grew up in this area and used to play in this castle all the time... there's nothing haunted about it

I live on the street where this Castle is located, it’s smaller than one would think, and I never knew someone died there! I go lots of times to walk the wooded trails behind it. next time I go I’ll try to pay more attention to orbs or light anomalies… if it is haunted they don’t carry any bad energy. I always feel great after visiting this place. it’s very calming.

Such a beautiful place, love the color of the stone.Love living in the country, lived on a chicken farm growing up. Here are two you can check out on you tube. Cemetery of the Innocent in El Dorado, Ark, and The Gurden Light by Marcus Lowe. Sorry so late watching, long work day yesterday, to tired to watch when I got off last night. See you next time. Linda from south Arkansas. 💕 💕 😀

One time a friend of mine and I spent the whole night hiding in the shadows and running by the windows while a group of teenagers explored the place. If you climb on top of the fireplaces at night nobody can see you without a light.

That place is beautiful. It’s a shame and a crime that people vandalized it. I’d love to have a place like this but not so far North. Ohio gets a little too cold for me.

I find it curious that Mrs. Squire would haunt the place that she disliked so much. Plus she didn't even die there. Unless, of course, you believe the legend. Great presentation once again. Thanx!

That was wonderful. I live in New England and we have some cool sites here. These videos definitely make me want to visit Ohio one day!

I have been to the castle and the park many times. One of my favorite places.

Good morning to you all. Another really interesting video. What a beautiful building, looks like it'd be rather atmospheric in the nighttime. Looks like the perfect place for a lonely figure to be spotted wandering in the dark. Best regards.

Such a beautiful castle - but such a sad story behind it. When tragedies happen, residual hauntings often happen, which are memory imprints of what happened a long time ago. But in this case, it sounds more like the actual restless spirit of the lady who died in such an unfortunate way. Who knows what she saw in the trophy room - something that was luring her to her death...? You sure always present these stories in a respectful and interesting way. I hope the lady who is haunting the place, finds peace.

In high school I and a few where hanging out and seen a woman walking and disappearing in the dark we got the hell out of there and the beer had nothing to do what we saw

The Lady is seeking justice for Moyder most foul

spent countless hours there growing up- its not haunted

It's a shame the house hasn't been restored in all this time, especially the second floor.

Excellent as expected thank you

Absolutely amazing that anyone would abandon something like that so the story of her falling and breaking her neck is just that a tall tail wow very interesting you know since subscribing to your channel I was unaware that Ohio held so many adventures and secrets so to speak I certainly am glad that I have subscribed it's time well spent certainly do appreciate you bringing the video to us to view and the story behind it much thanks and appreciation for that as well you do a wonderful job I'm sure you're probably getting tired of hearing that from me LOL thank you for your time and effort greatly appreciated

I really enjoy your channel. It's been fun to watch it grow.

His wife was an over-touchy weirdo.

Loved this episode! Makes you wonder what could have been in regards to his plans for the estate.

A legendary hangout growing up

Ah...interesting how truth is stranger than fiction...I guess you could say. Wonderful...loved it

Another great story. Thanks for sharing

I literally live 11 minutes from here

I wonder if the parks dept. has any special Halloween activities around the building.

Can I move in? Seriously, great content and delivery as always. Good morning from Great Britain, by the way. I so enjoy your podcasts. They make my morning.

Idk if it was done on purpose or if Yawl caught somethin , But ... at the 3:22 mark where ur son is talking about the lady's spirit , there's "Something" White , Far Left Front Facing Window . 🤔

When I die, I know of a few people I will haunt. MY CHILDREN! bwa ha ha. They are all adults. I think it would be fun.

Very good. I'm from strongsville. How about history of the pomeroy house. It was vacant when we were little and scary. But now beautiful again. It was an estate years ago.

I'm so glad I found your YT channel!

You are such an amazing storyteller and your videos are so well researched! Thank you for sharing your gift with us!

I live near the only Revolutionary War fort in Ohio called Fort Laurens. Consider making a visit. It’s adjacent to some old canals and Indian trails.

At 4:20, one can see the ghost of the first Mrs. Squires leaving the trophy room where she died and passing into the larger part of the castle. The three spirits who manifest after her look like they might be a delegation from Progressive insurance... boo! Happy Halloween!

What a shame that the gorgeous house was stripped bare and that no one thought to hire caretakers for it. Where are all the furnishings and windows now? Oh and on Thadius Peck's gravestone ...do you know if at the bottom of it, there is a stone makers mark? Lots of gravestones have them. Again, just a thought ;)

Wait....is it the castle of a haunted squire, or a squire's haunted castle? 😁

Whoever did the masonry did an excellent job. No pointing necessary because nothing is crumbling

Where I live we have a castle that's been turned into a college it's called the world college in Las Vegas New Mexico

I had to hunt and hunt for y'all. For some reason you are not popping up on my feed. I was about to panic!

Another fantastic job! I am now very excited to visit this place soon. By the way the music is a great touch to the video!

👏👏👏👏👏

So sad that so much had to be removed because of criminals.

great video , shared to my community page 👍

4:15 theres people back there a woman in a white dress and a guy

Legend also has it that a weird Cult uses the castle and it's grounds as a meeting place for their strange, synchronized outdoor dancing rituals. They're supposed to be blurry in appearance and wear matching red and grey uniforms.🤣

Nice job on the video. Thank you.

So this lady went into that room alone. Got scared and ran off, then broke her neck and died? Yeah, no. The dude obviously killed her. How would the story of her being scared by something that caused her to run off and fall, be known if she was alone?? That makes zero sense.

Thank you again, for another great video! Are there any tales of Swedes who emigrated in or around Ohio, that you know of?

love it guys keep it up great job

thank you,great content

I don't buy that story about her falling and breaking her neck but it was certainly entertaining Thanks again for a great story

Good stories 😊👍🏻

So seems to be alot of haunted places in Ohio. I can't think of any haunted places where i'm from in the Netherlands..

Watching from 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

I liked the episode. Interesting.
