Several years ago I saw a documentary about Haunted Castles. One of the Castles that was featured was a castle where the owners kept building and building, eventually the owners said that the castle just built itself.. most stairways had odd numbered stairs usually 7 or 11, alot of the stairways led to nothing but a wall. Does anyone know of this castle and if so what is the name of it and where is it located.Thank you. |

You give the impression that the owners of this castle were actually on the documentary, or at least it is a recently built 'castle'. Am I right?
If the story is of relatively recent events, then we are not talking about a castle, as real castles stopped being built in the late 15th century, but if it is an old story from a real castle, then it sounds like just that, a good story with no foundation.
I have visited many castles, and it is not unusual to come across stairs going to a wall and the like, due to alterations carried out over centuries. As for odd numbered stairs, I didn't think that was anything unusual, our back stairs have 13 steps.  Anyway, enough of my scepticism. I have not seen the documentary, so can't tell you the name of the place. Sorry. Erik |

the people that lived in this castle were not original owners.. The castle was built before the 1900's so I guess yes it would be a new castle kinda.....To the best of my memory, the castle is currently a B&B and I can remember that the same program also featured the Winchester Castle.... The Documentary was called "Haunted Castles" and I believe was on the Discovery Channel(USA). I am sure it is probably just a "good tale" but wanted to check it out just the same... Thanks for your help. |

I think you watched the American Castles Documentary. The one you are thinking of maybe Winchester Castle on the west coast of California. But maybe I'm wrong. | |
