Hello all...I just want to say..wow! I found this forum to be insightful on the castle.. I have a website based directly around the Franklin Castle for those of you that want up to date info and FACTUAL information on the castle. It is www.myspace.com/franklincastle1881. I am in NO way associated with Milsaps. At one time when I was quite naive about who he actually was I did in fact talk to him and actually help him with his "tours"...until he banned me after a tour I had with my friends..accusing my friends of stealing old photographs (which he picked up at a resale/garage sale)...FUNNY thing was..I have ACTUAL photographs of the surviving and the ACTUAL TIEDEMANN family that once resided in the home. (so go figure..why would my friends steal? haha..funny... :-P) For those of you that didn't know..the house next door (the blue home next to the castle) was the Weibenson home. Weibenson if you read on my page was married to one of Hannes' daughters...YES he had more than just Emma...anyways..Hannes' had it built as a wedding gift~ :-D I have SO many pictures from that house..it is so beautiful inside and is in much better shape than the castle. The castle is a sad story...but if you keep your fingers crossed...in no time Milsaps will disappear..back to Lakewood were he belongs...he can't afford the castle...he's got too many high hopes! So keep in touch and visit my page you all may find it enlightening! Take care!
Bella~
