Preston Castle-001
This is the notorious Preston Castle which was a reform school that closed in 1960. If not for the efforts of the Preston Castle Foundation the State of California would have had it torn down.
Spent a night locked in this abandoned and haunted reformatory with my family and some ghost hunters. We held a seance, took EVPs, and stumbled around in the dark. There were bats and owls flying up and down the pitch black halls. We heard voices coming and had flashlights and other electronic equipment go haywire. Their ghost tours are on hold while repairs are made to the building last time I checked.

We were pleased with size and cleanliness of the room. The beds were super comfortable. We did not use the pool or gym, but it was nice to know we had that option.

Property was very nice, well done addition to home. We used very little of the amenities, and did not do any cooking or laundry, but everything was there for those that would. Quiet neighbor hood and close to bike trail and vacant land to walk our dog.
