this place was bought and tackily transformed into a pretend castle
Found the angry neighbor.
Oh my god we passes by it and i saw a little girl alone when i looked back she faded away
There is a house that was built to look like a castle but the schoolhouse is still just a schoolhouse. A very creepy one.
I live in the castle and have seen no ghost
The ghost of Kitt still lives there!
When I was a kid (I’m 31) my cousins from Ennis would drive me there for a good fright. We never saw ghosts but the people who live in that town are weird! And I heard stories of neo nazi skinheads hanging out in there. I doubt the stories were true. I never went inside.
I know kitt she owns it and she’s nice I’m actually about to move into the castle myself
We wanted to explore last night, but the school was gated off. Will the owner let you explore with permission? And how do we find the owner?
Do no this waste your time in going to this place. I just went there and its private property owned by someone who rents it to people. So there’s no point in going to it because you can’t go onto the property.
Very disappointed went on 8-13-2017 and couldn’t see anything. Private property and a tacky castle apt building built around the bBaschool. Sad that this building was jacked up so bad.
It’s actually a good place to live, surrounded by good people. Same old school just fresh paint, some new floors and the extra brick on top for the castle effect, owners extremely nice. No hauntings though lol sorry. A few people don’t like it but for no good reason, probably personal issues idk. But no hauntings, stayed a while and never saw a thing
How can I come look at this (tour it)?Cindy
Emhouse school burned down May 2020
Sadly the Emhouse school burned down in May 2020
It didn’t burn down.
It caught fire
Cought fire yes. Burned down no. It is being rebuilt after the fire by the owner of the building and some good friends of hers.
EM House is damn . In the late 1800’s a circus came to EM house they had a fire and a lot of people die. The were burn beyond recognition. 120 die in the fire that’s the reason why this place is haunted. God give them eternal rest. Amen
