Sauer Castle

Sauer Castle is a spooky and interesting visit if you’re in the Kansas City area. The “castle” (really, it’s more of a mansion, but I suppose its spectacular cliff-top setting makes the term “castle” more appropriate) was built by Anton Sauer in the mid-1800’s and since then it has witnessed a series of bizarre and untimely deaths, leading many to speculate that the house itself is cursed and haunted. Honestly, it’s not hard to see why so many consider it haunted. Just viewing the castle from the street is enough to make your hair stand on end: a creepy, crumbling mansion surrounded by overgrown lawns and ominous no-trespassing signs.
