I too, have been to the castle... although not inside yet. 
I was just there last week. I think it's very interesting that when you visit the franklin castle club website, they make it look and sound like this fabulous place... but in all actuality it's nothing more after all this time of "renovation" than an overgrown eyesore. Of course I can see through the overgrown brush and weeds, boarded up windows and general look of abandonment... but to anybody else that does not know the history of this place, they'd think it was a dump. I have an "IN" with someone at the Cleveland Historical Society and the word is that after the first "open house" of sorts, the new owner never returned. I find that very interesting indeed!
Should this incredibly historic, incredibly haunted place be made into a club? I don't see why someone shouldn't "try"... it's gonna be more fun watching the spirits stifle the progress. I think we're already seeing that happen.

Andi, What do you mean he never returned? Charles never came back to his club? From what he said, it is suppose to open sometime in the fall. And it will be designed for a dinner type club and a bed and breakfest. He is still thinking about having a few rooms available for poor people like me! LOL! He's not too sure on that one. I would love to stay there just one night. That castle has so much history behind it and so much to still discover.

OMG no... it's nowhere ready to be open for ANYTHING other than a haunted house attraction at Halloween. It's THAT bad.
The windows still have black boards covering them. The brush and "lawn" are so overgrown they resemble the Munster's house from the tv show. I was told that after the initial "meet & greet" that was held after he bought the place, that he never returned.
That's coming from the person that works for the Cleveland Historical Society. Trust me... anybody with any sense could drive by that place and tell that nobody has been anywhere near it in a very long time.... unless you count the spirits that you can FEEL watching you from the castle. Very eerie... and I don't get creeped out easily.

Andi, So now Iam wondering why he booged from the place that he bought. That does not make any sense to me at all. When we were in there they had alot of the rooms under consrtuction. He said that he wanted to start from the top first and then work his way down to the main floor. They were working on the ballroom when we were there. We were taking video and pics and he came up to us and told us to stop. And I looked at him and said who in the hell are you? And his reply was "I am the new owner of Franklins Castle." Boy, did I apoligized pretty quickly. I just wonder if something happend to him while he was in there. I"ll bet money on that one. Dave

I have no idea what happened to him..... but I do know for sure that there has been no dsign of life there for a VERY long time and if you call with interest in becoming a member of the "Club", you'll never get a return phone call.
Makes you wonder...

I think it's a darn shame that a peice of Cleveland's history is aloud to sit there empty like that. The rumour about the "club" has been going round for a couple of years now. The B&B idea won't work because, the Castle is in an awful nieghborhood. Who would pay to sleep there (except us ghost hunters)?
In my opinion it should be purchased by the historical society, and opened to the public as a museum, and they could also hold ghost tours at night.

I agree that it should be opened for tours... it's one of the most prominant pieces of architecture in Cleveland. Many people do not know that there are tunnels leading from the underground of this house to places all over Cleveland, including under Lake Erie itself and even into the bowels of Cleveland Metro General Hospital. Many of the tunnels I'm sure have collapsed, or are unsafe to say the least, but to know that they exist is way cool.
Who knows... maybe the Historical Society will purchase it one day. From what I know of Historical Societies in general though, they don't operate on much more than a shoestring budget. The City of Cleveland would have to be approached to buy it with a business plan to back it up to offset the huge cost. I should do a tax search to see if this property is behind on it's taxes. From the looks of it, there's a very good chance.

Oh Dear, your own little playground??? Honey, you wake up and take pictures for no reason at 2 and 3 a.m.....not unless you take me dancing in the ball room...lol! What a shame though! Dave and I had an absolutely wonderful time visiting the castle. I can only image how beautiful it would have been in it full glory days. Yeah, I would love to own something like that to, not for my own playground, as my sweet, darling Dave puts it, but to restore to it's natural beauty and investigate it and open it for a paranormal society of sorts. I really wonder what happened to Milsap...was it money? or was it the ghosts? Charles did mention an incident to us about a hankerchief that he did think might be paranormal, but he then he said he didn't believe in ghosts...so he was kinda of a hypocrite....kinda like finishing his work on the castle....said he was going to do it...never did! I just hope the next owner follows through, I would hate to see the building in ruins and have to be demolished because it's beyond repair! Julie

I swear, if I ever come into a few million bucks, I'm buying the Castle, and you're all invited over for a ghost hunt. But in that neighborhood, it's not the ghosts you have to worry about.

You are completely right and Charlie is a very close friend of mine. I do not agree with his "CLUB" ideas and I could tell you A LOT of stories about his plans that are not going anywhere. Email me.
You would be surprised to know the truth...
