I have been to the Maltby cemetary a couple of times before and it is really creepy. The 13 steps to hell is now filled in with concrete. Around the area by the steps there are gravestones all with little children. I went with three friends and nothing happened until two of us decided to scare the other two girls. We were at the bottom of the trail in the bushes and we heard giggling and whispering. We actually heard footsteps coming down the trail. So, we jumped out to scare them and they weren’t even there. Then we heard screaming and they came running down the trail. We just jumped into the car and took off. The weird thing is whenever we drove there the song “Highway to Hell” would come on the radio.

i went there tonight with 9 friends 10 of us total we got lost so i think we went to the wrong trail we walked the whole way up and got to a house we went to the left and only saw 3 graves… we were pissed off and called it a night

if you have accurate directions to this cemetery please please e-mail to me at libertyhs05@yahoo.com

thank you

We got to paradise road we drove down the street and found a small gravel parking on the side of the road and the trail was right in front of us. So all 10 of us got together took out our flashlights and walked up the trail it was like right beside the road we got about half way up then the trail forked so we took a left and kept going there is alot of fallen trees in the trail so at night its hard to see them.The trail ends in someones backyard there lights were on and so the directions said the cemetery was on the left side we were first a bit confused and too scared the owner of the house would come out so all of us just stayed low then at last we saw the 2 metal pillars we made a run for it (kinda hard with 10 ppl) we go straight left and saw 5 graves so were like is this it?.We took pictures and looked at the tombstones by now its about 11:20pm. So we just figured we went to the wrong cemetery and we headed back down the trail. We still don’t know if we ever went to Maltby cemetery i remeber a tombstone saying fredrick cooper thats all i remeber if that grave sounds familiar please tell me was it the right cemetery or not?

e-mail: libertyhs05@yahoo.com thanks

Sorry, I can’t believe this story, that sounds like SHlT! But you may email me at cluboca_51@yahoo.com so I can try this out next time if it is true

Oh my God!! Last night my friends and I (4 total) all went to the Maltby Cemetery, and I’ll be honest… We were hammered!
We found this large slab of stone, and thankfully I was smart enough to bring my dad’s pick-axe. We lifted it and what did you know??? 13 dirty steps that lead to nowhere. I was getting this weird sensation in my stomache from being soo scared!
I dared my girlfriend to go walk down there, and promised that if she did I would buy her the new Jewel CD.
She walked down… claiming she wasn’t scared!!!
And guess what??? The stone fell back on top of the hole and I heard her scream (faintly)
I pryed up the stone again. This time it took all 3 of us, who worried spitless!
———–SHE WAS GONE————-
I crapped my pants in fear, and ran away along with my friends.
Now, I have no girlfriend….which sucks… cause she was pretty cool….and REALLY hot…Like SUPER hot!!

All I can say is: Don’t go there to make the spirits mad… because spirits are stronger than any human could possibly imagine!!

ok guys, i live next door to the cemetery. It’s kinda creepy, but thats about it…the concrete slab covers a grave, all the others also have slabs, but this is the only one that has had all the dirt washed away, or somebody dug it up. by the way, the guy who owns the place isnt a nice guy. going in the day isnt any more dangerous than in the night, there’s so much foliage, its hard to be seen

My sister and some of her friends went to the Maltby Cemetary back in the 70’s ( high school days ) and they came back with some pretty interesting stories. But thats all they are….stories. There are a few old time cemetaries in the state, we have one here in Puyallup where the Puyallup Valley settlers are buried. Your mind can play tricks on you and if your in a cemetary, well you can see where Im goin with this. Its a shame that folks have desicrated those graves…If that was my great grandfathers grave Id chase you out too. But, in reality, you cannot LEGALLY enter the Maltby Cemetary unless you can prove you know someone that is buried there, or you are with someone that knows someone thats buried there. One more thought before I let you go..Personally, Ive never been to the Maltby Cemetary. Its old, run down, and has been destroyed over and over again by people looking for a ” thrill.”
Its a REAL SHAME people would do that to a place of final rest, it really is. Tall tales lead to taller tales that lead to the obserd…That can lead to jail time. Maybe we should go knock on the owners door and offer to clean up the cemetary and help maintain it for those that rest there for all eternity.

In 1978, the Journal American newspaper published a story about a haunted house in Duvall. I kept that artical for years. Then in the summer of 1983, my friend and I made up a story to call and make a visitation to the house. (We were suppose to be doing a high school ed piece in advance for Halloween). The owners at the time had told us that the sprit sends notes by dropping a small piece of paper directly on top of the dining room table. I don’t recall as the notes said anything specific like “Get Out” or “My name is so-n-so”. But it was an interesting interview to understand how they were not frightened of a spirit identity in their mist. I was up in the area last year for the first time in 21 years. Natually I’d thought I’d never forget where they lived. But I did and so ended my journey back in the day when I wanted to really be a ghost investigator long before “Ghostbusters” came out in the movie theater.

Maltby cemtery is a great palce to visit getting there is fun there are no 13 steps to hell. If you dont wana get caught the best time to go is 11pm+ anywhere around that time everyone in that area is asleep. The freakist things there thats happnd to me was when i put my cellphone on record and held it up to one of the tombstone. When i listend to the recording i hear a faint “help me” i was scared shitless to be honest.

I have never been to this graveyard, but I recall stories from this graveyard when I was a teenager in the 70’s. I grew up around 10 miles from there and I remember one of my friends telling me about this place. Then a few years later my step-mom was telling me about this place her and my dad went to. It was around August in the mid 70’s. Her and my dad said they were driving down this old road and decided to park and go blackberry picking. They found this trail and started walking down it and found this graveyard. They were reading the grave sites which were very old. She said it was extrememely hot that day and the son was shining, but when they got to the graveyard, it got very dark, cold and breezy and a strange fog came in. They heard strange noises and decided to leave because they both were getting pretty creeped out. They said when they got to the road where the car was, they had a hard time starting it. This is so strange, because I’m reading that other people had the same thing. Years later, I asked her where this was and she said it was some graveyard in the woods by Woodinville. That had to be the graveyard that they found. Now these are my parents that didn’t believe in ghosts. They were born in the 40’s. This is really strange.

That is stupid…the only way to get to hell is when you die and God chooses to send you there!!!

IS THAT SERIOUS? THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE 13 STEPS TO HELL. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DIE BY WALKING DOWN SOME STEPS. THE ONLY WAY TO GET TO HELL IS IF GOD CHOOSES TO SEND YOU THERE…COME ONE ANYONE WHO BELIEVES THIS NEEDS TO GET A LIFE!!!

I have actual first hand knowledge of the Doolittle family, and they are far from the satanic cult members so many believe. The doolittle family homesteded the paradise lake area, and the land surrounding it. they were some of the fist settlers of the area, and it was only natural for a small family plot to be built. I know this because, one my dads friend was Hank Doolittle, a man who had grown up on the land, however was not burried there. Secondly my aunt, not by blood, was Joan Doolittle and, to the best of my knowledge is burried there, or maybe in the new family plot. In any case, the “Maltby Cemetary” or really the old Doolittle plot is a place of final rest for many family members. I think it is not right to just waltz into the site because it is disrespecting everyone in there when the place is not treated right, esp. now that someone else owns it. The Doolittles still live almost right across the street and I am sure they feel the same way. Remember imagination can make the body feel crazy things. It is just burried bones. A crypt was once on the site, but no long exists. Its just too bad people had to ruin the site for everyone. The Doolittles are good people, treat them with some respect. there is nothing up there but tattered old sites. please respect their wishes. dont go.

I went the the 13 steps of hell with a couple of my frineds last night…there are several ways to get to the cemetery. the first one is to drive right up to the house that it is behind and try and make it down the drive way without the motion lights coming on or the old man that lives in coming out or calling the police..the next way is to go around up the back way through a 1/4 mile woods walk. We started walking with flashlights took a left at the fork and came to a large bush pile..as we stepped over it we could see the house and the 35 stones. we were also with another group that we didn’t know. they showed up just as we were starting to walk up the path. While we were at the cemetery with them watching there sensors move from 0.00 to 1 than 2 than 4 and to 5, all of the people that had flashlights with sensors soon found themselves in the dark. flashlights just started going off…you could see your breath as well. My friends and i never made it to the thirteen steps because of the old man that called the police. However i feel that that cemetery is haunted and i will go find the thirteen steps.

I have been to the cemetery a few times. This time we went at about 10:30pm on a wed. night. I have yet to see the 13 steps, but I have heard the Hounds. They are known as the “hounds of hell” and they Howl like no dog I have heard before. They started as soon as we walked through the first metal gate walking into the woods and continued to get louder the closer we got to the cemetery. Once we were in they stopped. WE were in complete silence. I must say that I find the woods on the path up there to be more haunted than the acually cemetery. As we walked I began to hear walking next to me, on the side where the revine drop off is in your left. But it/what was walking at the same pace and level I was. Midway up I started to hear the voices. None of which I could make out into a comlpete sentance, it sounded like 10 people wispering to me at once. That was the most unbearable part, For the life of me I couldn’t make out what they were tring to say. The voices only came when I was in the woods, but as soon as I was in the clearing the stopped. But as we were leaving the second I stepped over the brush out of the clearing they started again. Once in the cemetery we walked around. I saw two things while i was in there. One: when I was on the top level I look down to the third and saw a green light, like somone was walking with a lantern. It swung like someone was holding it but it didn’t light up anything around it. I saw this green haze a few more times that night in different areas of the cemetery. Two: As we were checking the names on the headstones I looked up to see a figure, it was a shadow of what looked to be a person standing no more than four feet tall. I watched it for a minute just to make sure my eyes were not playing tricks on me. It took a step, I turned a away to grab my friend but when I looked back up it was gone. We decided it was time to leave, and the wooded path out seemed like our only option(I was not going to walk by the house). We began to walk, just as we passed the large fallen tree that you have to step over I was pushed, and really pushed hard. The right side of my body fell completely over like someone pulled back on my left side and shoved me on my right. When we hot home we checked out my shoulder. It was bright red and freezing to the touch. It stayed that way for about three hours after we got home. That is one of my experiences that I had. I was there with three more people who also had experiences of their own, but I will let them tell there story.

A word to the wise….
*The owner’s of the house will prosicute so be careful.

*I suggest waring dark clothes and sneekers. It makes you less visable and makes the walk through the wood easier.

*Try not to use a flashlight, in the cemetery or the walk up. You don’t want to draw attention to yourself.

*If you have it bring a camera(night vision), and hand held audio, It has been my experience that what you might not see when you are up there may come up on whatever footage you took.

*Try not to go with any more than four people. It just makes things easier.

why is april so angry?

I have been up to the cemetary many times in the last few years. Some very weird stuff has happened. The worst expirience that I had is that I was there with a group of people. We were walking around in the cemetary and I thought someone said my first name. I turned around and no one was there. (the weird thing is.. that I go by my middle name for many reasons. NO ONE in my group of friends know my real first name.. and thats what I heard.) About a minute later…. I heard one of the say my name and I looked over. They had a flashlight pointing to the grave and I walked over and there it was. It was a tomb with my name on it. I freaked out and people asked why… I told them what my real name was and they didnt beleive me.. I had to pull out my WA ID so they would believe me. Right after that we left. As soon as we were leaving I felt like someone yanked on my necklace.. I felt it coming off and grabbed it before It went down my shirt. I freaked again and we ran down the trail to the car and left right away. When we were about a mile away. I looked at my necklace and It was fine. The claspe was together. It wasnt broken. I DID NOT put it together and the chain is not long enough to pull of my head. So how did it fall off? I had never heard the story about the mother killing choking her daughter with the necklace until now. I really felt someone pull the necklace. And the thing about my name being said and it being on the grave.. my first name is not a typical name. No one there knew it… and we all saw the grave. I was actually gutsy enuf to go back a later day with the same people and the grave was gone. We have had MANY things happen to us there. BUT BY FAR.. this was the worst. I dont plan on ever going back.

I just went to the cemetery last night did not see it though. I did however see the car and truck off to the right side of the hill coming down the tail the car has a tree growing though it. It seems impossible that those cars could get in that position!!! anyone knoe the story???

Dear Dumbasses (comment number 64),

Dumbasses, you’re a real idiot. Why would anyone want to disturb the dead? I have family in that cemetery, and because of vandals like you, we had to get the family crypt bulldozed! My great-great grandfather, Lee Doolittle, was in that crypt and now his grave is unmarked! The man who lives in the house behind the cemetery is a distant relative of mine, and also a descendant of Lee Doolittle. I WILL find out who you are, and I WILL contact the law on this. As for peaceful visitors, thank you, and please stop anyone who tries to vandalize the cemetery. It’s been through enough pain.

Sincerely,

Frank Doolittle

Dumbasses,

I’m sorry. After a trip to the cemetery on the twenty sixth, the owner of the cemetery and I carefully examined everything. We have discovered that nothing was damaged at all. He says that he plans to put a fence up, or have the graves moved to Comet Lodge Cemetery, so another house can be built on where the cemetery was. Trespassing is still a crime though, but that’s alright. I trespass all the time. I am now talking with the webmaster of this site, and other sites, to have any information of this cemetery removed from the internet. Maybe that will lower the amount of trespassers.

Sincerely,

Frank Doolittle
