Vampires at Hammond Castle
Hi Joey,
I haven’t seen any press on this, so I thought you might want to let people know that the new residents of Hammond Castle are looking to have guests for dinner — literally! The Castle is open this weekend and next for a bloody good time!
Just a note to those who go – parking seems to be an issue, so for everyone’s safety please park at Stage Fort Park (Free!) and take the free shuttle to the castle.
Enjoy!

View of the Atlantic Ocean and Norman’s Woe Island from the Portico of Hammond Castle From Papa Dunes
Papa Dunes Writes-
Located on Hesperus Ave. in Gloucester, MA, Hammond Castle is a Medieval Castle open to the public.
The history of uninhabited Norman’s Woe is the history of its many shipwrecks. One noted shipwreck was of the “Rebecca Ann” in March, 1823. In a snowstorm, all ten crewmembers were swept out to sea, and one survived by holding on to a rock in the water. Perhaps the most famous shipwreck at Norman’s Woe was of the schooner “Favorite” out of Wiscasset, Maine, in December 1839. Twenty bodies washed ashore, among them that of an older woman lashed to a piece of the ship. Poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow took that story and named the ship “Hesperus” after a wreck near Boston in creating the legend of “The Wreck of the Hesperus,” the most famous “shipwreck” associated with Norman’s Woe.

Hammond hosts ‘Castle of the Damned’
Around the Cape- Gloucester Daily Times
Gail McCarthy
New England’s most terrifying Halloween event is back for its 11th year. For two “fear-filled” weekends “Castle of the Damned” will take place at Hammond Castle.
The castle once again serves as the “atmospheric backdrop” for a unique Halloween attraction in New England. Guests take a guided tour through the historic castle and its grounds, and bear witness to nightmarish displays inspired by the works of author H.P. Lovecraft, Italian horror maestro Dario Argento, and Pastimes’ own Dean Calusdian, director of the independent horror film “Tortured Hearts.”
David and Paul Stickney of Pastimes Entertainment designed this year’s castle, which eschews typical haunted house fare for bizarre images to haunt those who brave to enter. “There are no people in sheets jumping out and yelling ‘Boo!’ ” Dean said. “We want people to be afraid to go to sleep for the rest of their lives.”
