Falcon Roc Castle: 16th Century Ambience in New York
On a wooded hilltop near New York City Marshall Carlbom develops Falcon Roc Castle into a medieval style retreat with a heliport and antique furnishings. Guests pay between 25 and 100 dollars daily for meals and transport, while legends such as a 28 inch ghost called Baby Oscar and a bloody hand mark enrich the mystique. Falcon Roc, built in 1927 for a million dollars, aims to attract a fashionable crowd with fox hunting, balls, and a Dungeon Discotheque, though Carlbom notes falcons are illegal in New York.
