On a deeply ghostly episode of After Hours AM/America’s Most Haunted Radio — scintillating paranormal talk Thursdays 9-11pE with hosts Joel Sturgis and Eric Olsen — we welcome historian and author William Krejci to talk Cleveland’s notorious Haunted Franklin Castle and the fascinating intersection of the paranormal and historical in Northeast Ohio in general. William joins us at 10pE; at 9pE Joel and Eric review the latest paranormal headlines from the America’s Most Haunted Twitter feed.

Haunted Franklin Castle

For more than half a century the Franklin Castle’s dark façade has lured curiosity seekers from around the world. Behind its iron gates, this Victorian-era structure harbors rumors of everything from insanity to mass murder. Disembodied voices echo from empty rooms, doors open and close of their own accord and cold spots drift about the manse. Witnesses swear to sightings of a woman in black and a young girl in white, believed to be the ghostly apparitions of the wife and daughter of the original owner, Hannes Tiedemann.

Using previously unpublished photographs, interviews, family accounts, floor plans and nearly forty years of research, authors William G. Krejci and John W. Myers finally reveal the true and definitive history of Cleveland’s notorious Franklin Castle.William Krejci
