The words Haunted and Castle are as synomynous to each other as Country and Western. History is rich with medieval haunted castle lore and this site pays homage to those ancient monuments of mystery. Many of the scenes created for SFMZ's Haunted Castle were inspired by real Haunted Castles of Europe and other haunted locations such as hotels and ghost towns.
Obviously, this adventure has it's own story line, but researching real haunts inspired a variety of ideas for the many scary scenes found here. The listing below is a dedication to these real castles and other haunts and how they inspired the making of my online Haunted Castle adventure.
