Nestled in the side of Watchung Mountains near
Basking Ridge, Phareloch Castle was built in the
1920's as a replica of a 17th century French
Normandy Castle. Originally the castle was built to
serve as a retreat for artists by Bill and Frank
Beatty.

It gained national attention when the castle was
featured on Unsolved Mysteries. The castle has
extensive documentation of hauntings. The main
ghost being that of Bill Beatty himself who
unfortunately died before his beloved castle was
completed. Shortly after his death, Beatty's
apparition started appearing in the castle.

The castle is now a PRIVATE Residence, and is
currently undergoing extensive renovations to
restore it to its former glory.
