28 sourced records. Reports are attributed claims, not proof of supernatural activity.
The Cadillac survived years of declining hotel use and damage from the Nisqually earthquake before restoration for a national-park museum. Haunted Seattle's dedicated article records supposed figures in upper offices, unexplained sounds and crying heard at night. It offers conflicting identities for the alleged presence, showing how uncertain the ghost story's origins remain.
A Spooked in Seattle book excerpt preserves stories attached to the former Canterbury tavern, including an unexplained jukebox activation and a figure seen in a mirror near the fireplace. The source connects those reports to an alleged earlier shooting. That explanatory story is folklore, not a separately verified account of the person's death.
Before its demolition in 2008, the former Hotel Nelson and Hotel Wayne acquired a haunted reputation under the Commodore name. An excerpt from Spooked in Seattle recounts guests' reports of moving objects and staircase figures, followed by claims of lights in upstairs windows during vacancy. The original hotel no longer exists.
Washington tourism identifies this 1923 movie theater as a reported haunt. The historic venue survives in a small Skagit Valley town shaped by industry. The available tourism account does not identify a particular apparition or witness, so this record preserves the reputation without adding a dramatic invented origin.
Ghosts and Legends of Spokane includes Ellen, a figure associated in the narrative with a fatal skylight fall. The publisher verifies the hotel's role in the collection. Historical accident records and subsequent apparition claims should be examined separately when evaluating the story.
Deborah Cuyle's Haunted Snohomish includes reports of noises attributed to former prisoners at the old county jail on First Street. This is a published haunting account, not confirmation that its proposed explanation is correct. Confirm current ownership before attempting access.
Deborah Cuyle's Haunted Eastern Washington includes an apparent woman reported around Heller Block. The publisher notes uncertainty about her death, so no dramatic explanation is supplied here. This is a documented local story with an unresolved identity, not a verified ghost or historical death.
Crosscut documents staff accounts of unusual guests, apparent piano music and stories connected to Alice B. Toklas. These are reported hotel traditions, with some biographical associations uncertain. A stay offers access to the historic setting; it cannot guarantee an encounter or verify the identities assigned to apparitions.
Built in 1886 for John S. McMillin, this San Juan Island hotel is associated with a spirit identified in local lore as former worker Adah Beeny. Washington tourism recounts her story alongside the surviving hotel and the McMillin family's nearby mausoleum.
Axios identifies Kells with the former Butterworth mortuary and reports of a child and a man in old-fashioned clothing. The building's earlier use supplies historical context. It does not establish that later sightings were ghosts of people associated with the premises.
A named employee told Crosscut about hearing an unexpected voice at Manresa Castle. The article also warns that some dramatic death stories were attributed to a bartender's inventions. That distinction matters: reports of strange experiences do not validate every backstory circulated around this historic hotel.
The Olympic Club’s operator conducts ghost tours through the historic Centralia property, presenting stories of former occupants and purported lingering residents. These guided accounts form part of the club’s public interpretation of its history. They document an active local haunting tradition rather than establishing paranormal events.
A dedicated Haunted Seattle article describes this Pioneer Square saloon's layered commercial history and ghost-tour reputation. Staff and tour visitors reportedly encountered doors moving, unexplained running faucets and a female apparition near the downstairs restrooms. The business's own ghost-story page also preserves owners' accounts; the upstairs residential spaces should not be treated as public attractions.
Haunted Eastern Washington links a reported aviator figure on Mission Ridge with the 1944 Liberator crash. The publisher confirms the location's inclusion. The real aviation loss deserves careful historical treatment, while the later apparition narrative remains a separate claim rather than proof of a haunting.
Employees and patrons have described cold spots, noises and apparent figures inside this Bellingham landmark. A supposed spirit called Judy is particularly prominent, although explanations of her identity vary. Washington tourism explicitly notes those conflicting origin stories in its account of the theater.
North Head Lighthouse is the concluding location in Ghost Adventures: Graveyard of the Pacific. The production places its investigation within the maritime losses around the Columbia River mouth. The lighthouse’s involvement in that series documents a reported-haunting investigation; shipwreck history alone does not establish a haunting.
Haunted Snohomish describes reports concerning Henry, an alleged former policeman, at the Oxford. The publisher's summary establishes this book connection. The asserted biography and the interpretation of current experiences should be assessed separately rather than combined into proof.
Housekeeping manager Cheryl Heller described her experiences at the Palace Hotel to the Peninsula Daily News in 2012. Her accounts included a child called Adam, a woman in Victorian dress apparently passing into a wall, and a former housekeeper's apparition. Heller described the alleged presences as friendly.
Deborah Cuyle's Spokane collection recounts supposed lingering presences identified with Patsy and Mary Clark at their mansion. Arcadia confirms the location-specific story. Those identifications are part of the reported haunting, and the building's historic status does not establish access for independent investigations.
The Shelburne dates to 1896 and has accumulated stories of unexplained footsteps upstairs and taps on visitors' shoulders. Washington's tourism office records these reports as part of the peninsula's haunted history. The hotel offers a tangible historic setting for these continuing accounts.
Opened in 1894, the hospital later became a long-term care facility before falling vacant in 2003. Reports of paranormal activity brought television and press attention. The owners have offered ghost tours while working toward restoration, linking investigation events with preservation of the substantial brick building.
Linda Hazzard's former treatment property became associated with ghost reports after its notorious history attracted public attention. History Goes Bump distinguishes stories told by occupants of an older house from the later replacement residence, where the hosts say they know of no reported haunting. This is a historical site record, not an invitation to approach a private home.
Crosscut interviewed hotel staff about footsteps, voices and objects apparently moving in this former seminary. The report includes named witnesses rather than only anonymous legend. Their experiences remain personal testimony, set within a historic building now used as a hotel.
Deborah Cuyle's Ghosts of Leavenworth and the Cascade Foothills includes reported muffled sobbing at Thorp Cemetery. The publisher identifies this specific cemetery among the book's regional stories. Its inclusion establishes a published haunting account, while the cause of the reported sounds remains unresolved.
Guests at this nineteenth-century hotel have reported noises, flickering lights and fleeting figures. Its paranormal logbook collects visitor accounts. One recurring story concerns Charley, a Chinese immigrant said to have hidden behind a fireplace; that identity and death narrative remain local lore.
Ghosts of Leavenworth and the Cascade Foothills recounts a piano apparently playing under a ghostly hand in the Tumwater Inn's lobby. Deborah Cuyle connects regional ghost reports with local history. This record concerns the inn named in the book; its present visitor access needs separate confirmation.
Tour guide Pete Orbea described an apparent figure witnessed during a group visit to the Walker-Ames House. Crosscut also reports voices and shadow sightings associated with the 1888 mansion. The available record supports a longstanding haunting reputation and organized tours, not proof of the claimed apparitions.
The site of the 1910 Wellington avalanche is the focus of Karen Frazier's Avalanche of Spirits. Her book combines disaster history with interviews and her own experiences during repeated visits in 2009. The author's belief that spirits remain is explicitly her interpretation, distinct from the documented railway tragedy that gives the place its significance.
