Description

For sixty-six years, Preston Castle stood as a monument to reform and a witness to suffering. Built in 1894 as California’s first institution for wayward youth, its red brick walls saw generations of disaffected youth pass through, some to redemption, others to ruin. When the lights went out in 1960, the building fell silent, but the silence didn’t last. From the boy shot during his escape attempt to the sick left to die in its infirmary, and finally to Anna Corbin, the beloved housekeeper whose unsolved murder still echoes through its basement, the Castle has never forgotten.

Join us as we delve into the brutal history and subsequent hauntings of Ione’s infamous Preston Castle
