It’s always fun to visit Washington’s historic sites, especially those that have been well-preserved. And of course, when those sites are rumored to be haunted, it adds a little extra excitement.
If you’ve ever visited Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, you probably didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. The vast majority of guests never experience paranormal activity. But there’s no denying that it exists here. Professional ghost hunters, former employees, and locals on the walking tour have both seen and heard things that suggest some of Fort Vancouver’s early residents never left.
Originally, Fort Vancouver was a 19th-century fur trading post.
Some of the accounts are tame. Doors open and shut by themselves, phones ring when they are completely unplugged, and disembodied footsteps can sometimes be heard throughout the fort.
From a man whose dates were repeatedly scared off by a lady ghost to a little boy only one person could see, it's clear that these walls are full of secrets.
Whatever your beliefs are in the paranormal, Fort Vancouver National Historic Site is a fascinating place to visit.
