Built in 1881 in Cleveland, Ohio, Franklin Castle gets its name from the street it sits on\u2014Franklin Boulevard\u2014and gets its reputation from the mansion\u2019s dark history of unfortunate deaths. The imposing house was commissioned for Hannes Tiedemann, a German immigrant. With 20 rooms and elaborate fixtures, including turrets, gargoyles and a ballroom, the place truly looks like a castle out of a fairy-tale.<\/p>\n

A short ten years after it was first built, Tiedemann\u2019s 15-year-old daughter died of complications from her diabetes. Shortly afterwards, Teidemann\u2019s mother passed away.<\/p>\n

Then over the next three years, three more of Tiedemann\u2019s children died, sparking speculation and suspicious in the community. Rumors flew about the family, involving sexual scandals and murder\u2014perhaps linking the terrible alleged crimes to the house\u2019s haunted reputation.<\/p>\n

To distract himself and his wife from their grief, they performed extensive remodeling on the house, making it even more elaborate than ever before. During Prohibition, there were even unfounded rumors of hidden passageways used for bootlegging.<\/p>\n

Teidemann\u2019s wife died at the age of 57 in 1895, just four years after the first death in the house. The house was sold to new owners, and Teidemann would die some years later with no heirs to inherit his wealth.<\/p>\n

It is believed that Teidmann\u2019s wife stayed behind, in spirit form, after the sale of the house. Known as the Woman in Black, it\u2019s said she is sometimes spotted lingering on a certain balcony and upstairs rooms.<\/p>\n

In the 1960\u2019s the house was inhabited by a family of eight, who soon began to experience some otherworldly encounters. The Romano family reported multiple ghost sightings, and even turned to exorcisms on the house, and ghost hunters. Eventually the family chose to leave the house than stay in the haunted place.<\/p>\n
