A home in mid-Missouri may be considered among the scariest in the country.
A 169-year-old home in Brumley, Missouri will be featured in the inaugural season of HGTV’s new series “Scariest House in America.” Hosted by comedian Marietta Sangai Sirleaf, popularly known as Retta, the series is a spinoff of HGTV’s “Ugliest House in America.” The Brumley home will be featured in the episode “The Midwest Gets Mysterious” at 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 11.
The Brumley home, known as the Haunted Castle House, is owned by Judy and Steve Skinner. The 2,000-square-foot home, built in 1855, features four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a backyard graveyard.
In “The Midwest Gets Mysterious,” the Haunted Castle House is up against haunted homes in Atchison, Kansas, and Dayton, Ohio, for a $150,000 renovation prize by designer Alison Victoria. To watch the episode, folks can flip to the HGTV channel on cable or find HGTV programming on Max and Paramount+.
This isn’t the Haunted Castle House’s first television appearance. The home was featured on the Travel Channel’s “The Dead Files” in 2017 and Dan Aykroyd’s “Hotel Paranormal” in 2021.
Per the Haunted Castle House website, the Skinners offer tours and overnight investigations at the house. Tours lasting 90 minutes are $25 and Halloween candlelight tours are $35. The Skinners also host four-hour ghost hunts at $55 and private overnight paranormal investigations for $500 per group (up to eight people), but these experiences have been booked through the remainder of 2024.
The Haunted Castle House is about 15 minutes from Osage Beach and an hour and a half from Springfield.
