Join us on the Haunted Atlas podcast as we explore the chilling history and paranormal activity of the Pythian Castle in Springfield, Missouri. Originally built by the Knights of Pythias as a home for their members, this 40,000 square foot castle has a dark past that includes serving as a hospital for over 100 people who died there and as a military interrogation center during WWII.
From the haunted orphanage area to the active theater and mysterious tunnels, we’ll investigate reported paranormal claims and share eerie EVPs captured by guests. Discover the ghostly presence of Mr. Boots in the basement tunnels and interact with Italian POW spirits in the cells.
As we wrap up our night at Pythian Castle, we’ll share spine-tingling stories from the building’s owner, including encounters with a woman’s voice, sightings of children, and the presence of a woman in white. Join us as we uncover the haunted history of Pythian Castle on this episode of Haunted Atlas.
