Abandoned Dundas Castle
In the early 1900s, Ralph Wurts-Dundas bought property in the Catskill Mountains, with plans to convert the lodge into a castle, modeled after Dundas castle in Scotland. He died in 1921 before it was finished. A year later his wife Josephine was committed to a sanitarium, according to Atlas Obscura. Their only daughter, Muriel was also committed years later. No Dundas even lived in the castle.
There are several legends surrounding the castle, saying it s cursed. The three heart-shaped ponds are said to fill up with blood on a full moon, and rumors are a ghost roams the halls, according to BradfordLeeGilbert.com.
