This Victorian Village In Washington Is Thought To Be One Of The Most Haunted Places On Earth

Between its Victorian architecture, two National Historic Landmark Districts, rich maritime history, and abundance of amenities, it's a fantastic spot for people of all ages to visit as well as to live.

By 1859, the S’Klallam Indian community of Kah Tai was well established here. As more European settlers drifted in, Chief T’chiis-a-ma-hum welcomed them and worked to maintain peace between the two groups. Unfortunately, not everyone shared his views, and it wasn't long before outbreaks of hostility erupted. Between those tensions and the debauchery that tended to follow sailors and soldiers in those days, it's easy to understand why Port Townsend's history is as spirited as its streets allegedly are today.

The castle was once visited by the cast of Ghost Adventures, who captured a child's laughter on film. Apparently the spirits here have no chill, because many a guest has reported hearing footsteps, voices, moans, and even feeling something (or someone) brushing up against them.

The rooms are currently named after the ladies who once lived there, and rumor has it some of them never left. A woman in a blue dress repeatedly shows herself to guests and staff alike, and rumor has it that some of the spirits like to play pranks on the hotel guests.

Some of the family members don't seem to be too happy about hosting strangers in their home. Paranormal activity has been reported for decades, ranging from mysterious slamming doors, random cold spots in the house, and a mysterious shadowy figure who has been spotted in several rooms.

Originally designed as a military base to protect the Puget Sound from invasion, this state park is a lively place to camp, beach comb, and host events. But if you hear any talking or moaning from the dark hallways of the abandoned barracks, steer clear.

Of course, this seems outlandish. But with so many buildings being known for paranormal activity, anything seems to be possible here.
