I've not been able to find out anything more than that.
I really have to wonder if it was an accident or something darker. There was another fire on the amusement pier this summer; there's been redevelopment projects in the works around the Castle since '99; and the current owners are known to be neglectful of the property. ("Why put money into an attraction when it's making money as run down as it is?")
This is the first haunted house I remember liking as a child.
I'm really sad about all this.

if you find anything else please let us know!
