*** The gorgeous and very haunted Redstone Castle in Redstone is now open for tours! ***
Tours began on June 1st, 2007 Call: (970) 963-9656 -or- (970) 704-1842
www.redstonecastle.us
The new owner plans to make the historic castle available as a wedding site, as well as a spa & restaurant someday.
HAUNTED MANSION
The historic manor is haunted.
"I can attest to that," said Sue McEvoy.
For the past nine years, McEvoy has been curator for the castle in the mountains above Carbondale.
She says guests have reported strange incidents. There's also a legend that spirits hover in a secret passageway that connects
the nursery to the servant's quarters. But what spooks McEvoy, who has lived on the property for six years, is the ghostly cigar
smoke. A turn-of-the-century robber baron, John Cleveland Osgood, completed the 42-room English Tudor manor in 1902 for the
then-outlandish sum of more than $2.5 million. He reportedly wanted to impress fellow industrialists such as J.P. Morgan, Jay
Gould, John D. Rockefeller and President Teddy Roosevelt. Osgood, who made his fortune in coal and steel, died in 1927. But
McEvoy thinks he's still floating around. She believes she has smelled his cigar smoke. "The door to his bedroom was closed, the
windows were open, I could smell cigar smoke, but no one else was on the property," she said.

Redstone Mansion Opens After 3 Years Of Litigation
(AP) REDSTONE, Colo. The century-old mansion of steel magnate John Cleveland will reopen to tourists on June 1 after being
closed for three years after the Internal Revenue Service took it over during an investigation of an alleged multimillion-dollar fraud
scheme.
"We think having the castle open for tours will bring a lot of people to Redstone," said Sue McEvoy, the castle's caretaker for eight
years and an employee there for 11. It will be open Monday through Friday.
It can't come soon enough for nearby businesses -- the ones that weren't forced to close.
"We need tours for business," said Bob Stifter, owner of the antique shop Tiffany's of Redstone, one of several businesses that will
sell tour tickets. "It's almost a bust in town. We need them bad. You can see all the shops closed up. We need the tours. Everyone
that comes in asks about the tours. Everyone wants to know how they can see the castle," he told the Aspen Daily News.
California businessman Ralli Dimitrius bought the Tudor castle, also known as Cleveholm Manor, at an auction in March 2004 for
$4 million. Although he said he was anxious to get it open, extensive upgrades to the aging building have delayed its opening.
Stifter said every time he saw Dimitrius he would beg him to get the building open. "Maybe he listened to me," Stifter said. "I don't
know. Maybe other people asked him, too. Maybe I did some good."
The repairs have been extensive, including fixing the boiler for the 20,000-square-foot mansion. Some issues remain unresolved,
such as whether to connect to the town's sewer system.
Five rooms inside the building and its exterior cannot be changed because they are covered by a state historic foundation
easement.

.......VERY eerie photo taken by Jamie Calhoun of the Stanley Hotel in May 2009! Jamie took this picture from outside
looking up at the room in which she and her husband stayed: room # 408. Although they didn't experience anything
paranormal while they were staying in room #408; this haunting photo shows that they may not have been alone in that
room after all......!
*** Thank you, Jamie, for this FANTASTIC photo!! ***
