Haunted Homicide - The Witch’s Castle

In this first story, we’ll go back over one hundred years to learn about a Romeo and Juliet story that ended in cold-blooded murder.  On the property where the killing took place now sits a stone building known by locals as “The Witch’s Castle.”  Some say that the restless spirits of the murdered man, his widow, and the killer roam the area on nights when the moon is full.   This is the story of the murder of Mortimer Stump and the haunting of The Witch’s Castle.    Resources:  https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/the-witches-castle-portland-oregon  https://www.mckenzieriverreflectionsnewspaper.com/story/2013/24/2/history/mystery-surrounds-portland-s-first-public-execution/830.html  https://themorbidlibrary.com/2021/09/10/the-haunted-the-witchs-castle/  http://balchipedia.wikidot.com/danford  https://www.newspapers.com/image/900596109/?match=1&terms=mortimer%20stump  https://www.newspapers.com/image/1088419076/?match=1&terms=%22anna%20stump%22   Links: YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@OnceUponACrimePodcast  Patreon - www.patreon.com/onceuponacrime  Our website: www.truecrimepodcast.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
