Preston Castle


Today I visited Preston Castle (http://www.prestoncastle.com/) in Ione, California.




The Preston School of Industry is one of the oldest reform schools in the United States, as it opened in 1894 to house juvenile offenders, but was vacated in 1960. The castle is reputed to be haunted, especially since a female employee was murdered in the basement kitchen by one of the wards. Strange noises have been heard and individuals report seeing people who suddenly disappear. The above photograph is a room noted for having the most “activity,” and paranormal groups often gather there for investigations.
