Haunted Berkeley Castle, Berkeley Springs, WV.
Colonel Samuel Taylor Suit was a whiskey distiller, stock broker and railroad magnate. He met Rosa Pelham at a debutante ball when he was 46 years old and freshly divorced man about town, she was just a little 17 year old US Congressman's daughter.
Due to the age difference, no romance looked to be in the cards, but she was a girl who appreciated the finer things and wanted a man who could provide them.
She was socializing in one of the hotels in Berkeley Springs which at the time was known as Bath, West Virginia, when she mentioned that she wanted to live in a castle.
The Colonel told her that he would build a castle for her if the now 22 year old Rosa would marry him.
She agreed and they were married soon thereafter.
By 1885, architect Snowden Ashford had begun building the castle using plans by Alfred B. Mullett and it was finished by about 1888.
Colonel Suit never really got to enjoy the castle as he died shortly before Rosa and her three young children moved in.
The word around town was that Rosa may have had something to do with the death of her much older husband. She never remarried, and some folks said it was because if she did, she would have lost the castle and the rest of her inheritance.
This is where the story goes off the rails.
Berkeley Springs had a reputation for being a party town, Sodom and Gomorrah of the late 1800s. I'll just leave it to your imagination what kind of things folks with a lot of money and time to kill might be up to soaking in the mineral springs way back in the mountains.
Rosa, liked to party all night, drinking and gambling. She hired gypsy fortune tellers, and dabbled in black magic. One of her many gentleman callers was a fellow known as Jawbone, they got into a fracas that ended up on the roof of the castle. He fell to his death and is said to be one of the ghosts haunting the castle to this day. Did Rosa push him?
Eventually, Rosa had run through all her money, and she became a recluse, throwing rocks at anyone who approached her door. Her neighbors called her a witch and some thought she had gone insane. Eventually the castle had to be sold in 1913 to pay her debts.

Ridge State Trout Hatchery - Berkeley Springs, West Virginia- by Dan Gritsko
One of my favorite places to visit when traveling through Berkeley Springs West Virginia, is make a stop at the Ridge State Fish Hatchery. You can see trout of various sizes including: fingerlings, larger ones, those about a foot long, and breeder trout pictured here. These two ladies love fishing, and it was great to take a walk around the pools on a pretty day. Come have a look when you are in the area, camping at Cacapon State Park, or just want to enjoy this cool place.
I've been a big fan of trout growing up with my Dad and Grandfather who were both trout fisherman. Dad taught me how to trout fish in and around Buffalo, New York. My Grandfather, known as 'Granddaddy' - took me as a youngster in the streams around Bedford, PA. Although I'm often too busy to do it, one of my favorite things to do is to trout fish.
