Uh, no one lived in it. It was display and office space.

Hmm you speak with such confidence. Do your research.

Oh, another random fact, a few have also died while living in the castle.

I know of four people who died in the Castle. James Henry (the first curator who lived there as well) his young son) who died before his father, Fielding Meek, paleontologist, who lived in the castle with his cat and a construction worker who fell to his death (I’m ashamed I don’t know his name off the top of my head, he’s just as important as Henry or Meek)

Look it up and come back and publicly, refute, and shame me since you're so confident. I'll openly accept my L.

All the best to you

Uh, you and your opinions are not that important to me, and I have better things to do.

Do your research, and then you can attempt to refute. Until then, you're only shooting from the hip.

You'll appreciate the findings much more with your efforts than if I simply fed them to you.

Blessings!
