How sad. I hope they get their just rewards.
Adam Allaire, 18, and Jonathan Laurence, 22, were arrested Wednesday for setting fire to the Woodlea House in Tavares.
The house dates back to 1871, but went up in flames Sunday night.
Detectives said anonymous tips led them to the pair after they apparently bragged about the fire.
The two men later told investigators they used lighters and matches to start the fire because they believed the house was filled with ghosts.
They are now being held without bond.They have been charged with arson and burglary.
The Tavares City Council is scheduled to discuss plans to rebuild the home in a meeting Thursday night.
