CLEVELAND — Residents on the Cleveland street where three women were secretly held captive in Ariel Castro’s house of horrors for about a decade say they’re tired of being eyed by spectators who still visit the site five years after the home was demolished. Cars and sometimes even buses continue to pass by the lot where Ariel Castro’s house once stood, with passengers pressing their faces against the windows and staring at the neighbours. Castro was sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to a series of charges. “This is where the monster lived!” one woman wrote after posting a photo of the home online before it was razed. No matter what happens to the vacant lot, Westry said, his community just wants to feel normal again.
