Mt. Woodson Castle, One Of Our Favorite “Haunts”
“Ghosted” by a Ghost?
San Diego Union-Tribune’s Regina Elling, of the Ramona Sentinel, recently walked the halls of Mt. Woodson Castle, a venue that lies close to our hearts. Due to its tantalizing history for the occult, this historic Castle is a hotspot for San Diego spiritualists during this time of the year. In her article, Regina wonders if the spirit of the Castle’s original owner, Amy Strong, has abandoned the historic site. As we reflect on all of our magical experience at the Castle, any thoughts of spirits are usually at the BAR!
Ghost jokes aside…
For the first time since our partnership with Mt. Woodson Castle, which began about a decade ago, the corridors and kitchens are eerily quiet. If there ever was a spirit, we believe the warmth from our events and respect for the Castle’s history pleased it. Due to the shutdowns caused by Covid-19, you can feel the stones themselves miss the vibrant flow of life from the 100+ weddings per year it was accustomed to. One benefit of this year’s unexpected time-off is that the Castle has never been in such great shape! The Mt. Woodson Castle staff have been busy adding their own personal touch to top-secret historic renovations among the halls. Hopefully, with the start of the new year, guests will appreciate the resurrection of this gorgeous venue’s splendor!
Thanks to Regina Elling of the San Diego Union-Tribune Ramona Sentinel for stopping in for a spell to delve into Mt. Woodson Castle’s incredible history.
We love any opportunity to bring this hidden gem to the surface for everyone to appreciate.
