Summary

The Pythian Castle is a unique structure and not one that visitors to Springfield, Missouri would expect to find. This building is called a castle because it resembles one. There have been many owners and uses for this building and over 100 people have died on the property. That might be why there are claims of up to a dozen spirits here. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Pythian Castle.
