Throwback Thursday…. In the 1970s, Dr. Melvin Vulgamore, a former professor of religion and dean of academic affairs at Ohio Wesleyan University and his family had moved into the former Lyons Hall. In a June 1978 interview with The Columbus Dispatch, Mrs. Nan Vulgamore, wife and music teacher for the Columbus School for Girls, had noted that she wasn’t sure if there were ghosts living in the castle. She added that if there is a ghost, “Oh! It’s a very friendly ghost.”
Mrs. Vulgamore recalls one Halloween telling the children to go up the spiral stairs to get their treats from a fortune teller in full costume. The Vulgamore family had relocated to Virginia in 1978 for a new position at the University of Richmond.
In 1986, the castle, originally built in 1850, was officially formed into the Delaware County Cultural Arts Center, also known as The Arts Castle. (Sources: June 1978 The Columbus Dispatch; Albion College; The Arts Castle) #TBT #theartscastle #OWU ... See MoreSee Less

I was invited to sing for the Tuesday Morning Music Club back in the late 60's or early 70's in the upstairs recital room. Mrs. Vulamore was so nice to me and I went back to sing for her and talk several more times. I loved that room upstairs.
I remember this family and the article and her comments about the ghosts were friendly
