Excellent story! My goodness, how could you not resist? That is one spectacular edifice, and one that, were a younger man, would have to be a visit I would take in a split second.
I wonder who maintains the place? I would think that someone would be willing to offer a tour for the right price.
Can you imagine what having a medieval-style party would be like? Thank you for the tantalizing pictures and well written article.
The property is owned by the Clarke family. They must have cameras well concealed because in the structure itself there were none I could detect. There are no wires running to it but that doesn’t mean they don’t have electricity there.
Yes - that area can get really gloomy. My son asked me one time “is this the bridge where they throw the sacrifice in the water so crops grow in the spring?”🤣
I have video from a past Sunday Nights Radio podcast I’ll share soon. There are some interesting legends in that region.
I really wish they would consider that. But the Clarke family is fairly set in its ways.
There is another structure owned by the Clarkes that you can hike to. I have a Halloween story related to that when my sister,wife, kids and I hiked up there about 11 years ago. I’ll have to do a follow up for October, it’s pretty eerie.

Reminds me of one of the two video games I've played - Myst and Riven. Just need to queue the great music. 🤔

I grew up in mid-Ohio and there were story's aplenty in them old homes and grounds. I have been witness to ghosts.
Homes aren’t under my purview but grounds are. If you’ve got a good adventure, I’d love to publish it. Just email cole@quandarymagazine.com
This reminds me, Zee. There’s another great Catskills hike called the Labyrinth. It gets misty too. Ever try it?
I’m shocked Zee resisted for so many decades. You bring up excellent points about maintenance though.
Tours would probably go a long way in offsetting the cost!

Maybe it’ll become some kind of local museum someday. Who knows!
