Squire’s Castle - Real Haunted Place

Squire's Castle sits atop a hill in the North Chagrin Reservation, in Willoughby Hills, Ohio. The castle was built in the late 19th Century by Fergus B. Squire, an oil executive who ended up becoming the Vice-President and General Manager at John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Company.

This castle is believed to be haunted by Fergus's wife, Louisa. Legend says that Louisa suffered from insomnia and one night on a night walk, she fell down the stairs to her death. Other versions of the story say Louisa went insane due to nightmares. Her fate is the same in both stories.

Squires Castle is now open to the public and is a popular spot for weddings and other events.
