Evan Axelbank reports
SEBRING, Fla. - Ghost hunters have traveled far and wide to search the grounds of the Kenilworth Lodge in Highlands County, but police warn: the still-living are no longer welcome.
Those hunting for the paranormal are being asked to stop visiting the historic building, which has become the site of fascination for those seeking an out-of-body experience.
Sebring Police Department Cmdr. Curtis Hart remembers the glory days of the Kenilworth.
(Florida Memory State Library and Archives of Florida) When it was open and functioning, it was a beautiful place. It was busy, Hart told FOX 13 News.

That all ended with the arrival of a single plant, the water hyacinth, Scott said.
A walk along the suburban lake these days now resembles something out of a science fiction novel â greenery dotted with a distinct purple flower stretched out along the edges of the water, and entirely blanketing the lake in some parts.
âItâs an environmental disaster,â Covington said. âThe water hyacinth depletes the water of oxygen. The fish die. The ducks that normally are there all the time are disappearing. Itâs horrible, horrible growth.â
The Sugar Land residents living along Cleveland Lake arenât alone in dealing with the invasive species before them, but ongoing discussions between a developer and the city have meant nearby homeowners must sit and watch the water hyacinth overtake the body of water.
