As jack-o-lanterns and spider webs adorn the homes in Georgetown, we here at HotPads are gearing up for Halloween weekend as well. One such instance is this great (and spooky) article over at WebUrbanist featuring "10 of the Most Chilling Haunted Castles in the World." One of the castles jumped out at us because, we've already spotlighted it here!
As you may recall, the Belcourt Castle boasts 10 bedrooms, 7 full bath, and 4 half baths and is truly a beautiful estate:
What you may not know is that the Blecourt Castle was bought in 1956 by the Tinney Family (for $25,000). The patriarch, Harold, was said to adore his castle, so much so that he decided to stay there in his afterlife.
Tourists flock to the Belcourt Castle, not only to look at the architecture and artifacts, but also to take candlelit ghost tours of the premise. So, if you don't mind a friendly ghost or two, this is the home for you! See this home for sale in Newport, RI here: Belcourt Castle!
