The love story behind Muncie's castle

MUNCIE, Ind. — Halfway down Fullhart Drive, a looming grey tower becomes visible, peeking from behind the rows of trees and short, square houses.

It’s not surprising the story behind the castle became something of local folklore. It’s where busloads of kids stop every Halloween, expecting candy and perhaps a dragon sighting. And where strangers ring the doorbell, hoping for a peek inside.

Bob and Barbara Logan weren’t expecting any of this, though. To them, it’s just where they built their love story.
