Riddle House Haunted

The Riddle House was built in 1905 by the constructors of Henry Flagler's hotels, using leftover wood.[1] Originally located at 327 Acacia Street in West Palm Beach, the house was nicknamed "the painted lady", because of its bright colors.[1] The Riddle House was originally a funeral parlor, known as "Gatekeeper's Cottage", at Woodlawn Cemetery, which was the first cemetery in the city of West Palm Beach.

It was acquired by Karl Riddle in 1920, who is the namesake of the house. Riddle was the first city manager and superintendent of public works of West Palm Beach.[1] He and his twin brother Kenyon later built houses on a 36 acres (15 ha) property just outside the city in 1935. This area would later become incorporated as Cloud Lake in 1951, after a vote by residents.[2]

Later, the house was scheduled for demolition, to make way for the expansion of Palm Beach Atlantic University. However, the city of West Palm Beach instead donated the building to John Riddle, nephew of Karl Riddle. John was then serving as chairman of the Yesteryear Village committee of the South Florida Fair board of directors. Between August 12 and August 13 of 1995, the Riddle House was dismantled and moved to the Yesteryear Village. The roof and attic were split in two, as was the first and second floors. Finally, the building was transported to Yesteryear Village and was reassembled,[3] where it remains to this day
According to legend, the house is haunted by the spirit of Joseph, (one of Riddle's employees) who committed suicide by hanging in the attic to escape his financial troubles. Commercial "ghost tours" are conducted by Yesteryear Village where guides dressed in period costumes tell stories of their own supposedly paranormal experiences in the building.[5] The house was also featured in 2008 on the ghost-hunting paranormal television series Ghost Adventures on the Travel Channel.
