Pythian Castle

The Story

Pythian Castle visitors trade accounts of a woman in white, unusual basement photographs, and voices captured during investigations. In a Springfield community discussion, one tour participant described an unexplained light in a basement picture; others reported no paranormal experience. The operator presents the castle through ghost-story tours and scheduled investigations. Historical explanations and identities are folklore unless independently sourced.
