Emma’s Rooms
Johannes Tiedemann's fifteen-year-old daughter Emma dies in the house on January 15, 1881, soon followed by her grandmother, Wiebke, who died suddenly and unexpectedly, thereby marking the estate's fourth unnatural death. Emma's room has remarkably frequent paranormal activity, reminiscent of happy and innocent vibes, merry music and wonderful parties that Emma lived, clad in ribbons and lace, in her childhood years. Her Bedroom features a queen-sized bed crowned with a Blue Silk Roof, the gothic-style Reading Room [originally Emma's play room], the Black Marble Bathroom, and a large Victorian-style kitchen, painted in Saxon folklore decors. These rooms can accommodate up to two guests to stay the night. These walls are highly active and bursting with creative energy . And, because I know it may get late before you fall asleep, check-out is at 3 p.m. the following day. -- From $175 per guest/night and a minimum of two guests --
Johannes’ Rooms
Johannes Tiedeman commissioned the most brilliant architects of their time, Cudell & Richardson, in 1864, to build a mansion reminiscent of those North German castles of the region of Süderau and Schleschwig-Holstein that he had seen in his youth, before leaving for America, forever. The Tiedeman family history is shrouded in mystery, with myth and fact so intertwined that the legend begins here. The stately Oak Bedroom has a king-sized bed crowned with a Red Velvet roof, a gothic-style Reading Room [originally Johannes and Louise's private room], a black and white marble bathroom, the Chamber Kitchenette and a view to the rose garden with the carriage house behind the castle, all part of Johannes' Dwelling. It can accommodate up to two guests to stay the night. This room is a powerhouse of energy and activity. Because I understand it may be late before you fall asleep, check-out is at 3 p.m. the next day. -- From $175 per guest/night and a minimum of two guests --
Louise’s Dwelling
These were Louise’s own quarters at Franklin Castle in the late 1880’s. Decades later, around the time the Deutsche Sozialisten [German Singing and Dancing Club] sold the castle, rumors began to circulate that it was haunted by the nineteenth century ghosts of Louise and her daughter Emma. Louise's Dwelling takes up the entire third floor. It has two bedrooms, a large reading room, two bathrooms, and a large kitchen overlooking the rose garden and the carriage house. The dwelling can sleep up to four guests. This entire floor has seen joys, sorrows, mysterious deaths and spiritual mayhem and is still very active today. I understand it may be late before you fall asleep, so check-out is at 3 p.m. the next day. -- From $225 per guest/night and a minimum of two guests --
The Kastle
Johannes Tiedeman commissioned the most brilliant architects of their time, Cudell & Richardson, in 1864, to build a mansion reminiscent of those North German castles of the region of Süderau and Schleswig-Holstein that he had seen in his youth, before leaving for America, forever. The Tiedeman family history is shrouded in mystery, with myth and fact so intertwined that the legend begins here. Built between 1881 and 1883, it is said to be the most haunted house in Ohio. A magnetic epicenter of undeniable fascination, this powerhouse of spiritism has witnessed so many adventures and joys, supernatural happenings and sorrows… From enchanting time's of uttermost sophistication of a privileged elite to gritty ‘70s teenage initiation rituals, you need to, physically enter and experience the premises in order to apprehend this roller-coaster of feelings and influences. The Kastle Overnights is for larger groups and extend to three levels, [basement/1st floor/2nd floor] including the south main hall, and can accommodate up to 6 guests. Because I realize you probably won't get much sleep at night, checkout time is 3pm the next day. -- From $245 per guest/night and a minimum of four guests --
Wiebke’s Room
The deaths at Franklin Castle began with two Tiedemann infants and 15-year-old Emma. According to legend, Emma was discovered hanging in the attic. A few weeks after the death of grandmother Wiebke. Her death cause is unknown. Wiebke's room includes a full bathroom and the Winter-Garden Kitchenette with a view to the carriage house behind the castle. The rooms can accommodate up to two guests to stay the night and is located in the deep chambers of Franklin Castle's basements. It has attracted a lot of attention from paranormal researchers and is brimming with positive energy and spectral activity. And, because I realize it may be late before you fall asleep, check-out is [as always] at 3 p.m. the the next day.
The Red Room
The Romano family purchased the castle in 1967. They reported numerous paranormal activities on each floor and tried exorcisms. The family finally left Franklin Castle in 1976 after only living on the ground floor and avoiding all other floors. This marks the beginning of Franklin Castle's reign as the most haunted house in Ohio. This room serves as a testament to their encounters and these events. The Red Room can accommodate up to two guests to stay the night. And, because I understand it may be late before you fall asleep, check-out is at 3 p.m. the next day.
The Ballroom
Johannes began extensive estate renovations, including building a ballroom on the fourth level, to distract his wife Louise from the terrible tragedy of burying three more children. This is a sizable hall in the Gothic Victorian style, partially original and partially rebuilt [due to the significant fire at Franklin Castle], with a hidden bathtub providing a direct view of Lake Erie. The Ballroom is a bliss of magical energy and can accommodate up to two guests [+2 extra] to stay the night. And, because I understand it may be late after midnight before you fall asleep, check-out is at 3 p.m. the next day.
