HAUNTED REDSTONE CASTLE
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!! ***
