Hi, my name is Jessica! I am what people call a paranormal psychic, which means I am able to comunicate with the dead. It isn’t something I blurt out, for I myself don’t like what I see sometimes. I am not sure why spirits are attracted to me, but they are for some odd reason. Since a very young age, I have talked and seen spirits. It still scares me to this day. I have dealt with a lot of problems dealing with spirits, way to many stories to tell! My mother can’t see them, but she can feel them. Infact she is extremely sensitive to spirits. My sister has seen a few spirits, and she feels them as well. However, it is me that the seem to be attracted to. For example… My father lost his father when he was 5 years old. He mother and father however divorced when he was 3, and his mother re-married! He lived with his mother, and wasn’t allowed to see is father, for his mother didn’t have nice things to say about him. My father was denied of even knowing his father was killed in an electrical accident when he was 5, and grew up being told his father didn’t love him or want anything to do with him. It wasn’t until he was 14 that he was told by his older brother that his father had been gone that entire time. Well, several years ago, my mother had started feeling him around our family, infact it was when I was 2 or 3 and I am now 22! Anyhow… Over the last 6 years I started seeing and hearing things. 2 years ago, I had seen and started talking to my grandfather. My father wasn’t a believer, and thought I was making things up. It wasn’t until his father, my grandfather told me things that my father hadn’t shared with me or anyone, including my own mother. I told my father, and he started believing. Things started happening when my dad was around, and it was my grandfather trying to get my father to notice and talk to him. So, of course I talked to him constantly, infact it is like he is really here, and acts and comunicates like nothing was up.
Anyhow… Everywhere I go, something is always happening to me, in which I see or talk to spirits. I have a very hard time entering old hospitals, or even hospitals in general, grave yards, it really is hard, for I see spirits everywhere. I have hard times being in old homes, for usually there is a spirit attached for some reason.
Anyhow… I live in Silverdale! If there is anything I can do to help, please contact me by e-mail at: the_sailors_wife18@hotmail.com
I will help in anyway I can!!!
Good Luck,
Jessica Writesel

I saw a female ghost at Central Kitsap High in the staff Parking lot. It was on December 11th during a basketball game between CK and Bremerton. The fire alarm went off during the game causing everyone to evacuate the gym. We were all shuffled out of the gym into the staff parking lot. I wandered out into the lot looking for a place to use the bathroom and at this point I saw this female ghost walking between some trees on a small hill adjacent to the road that leaves the parking lot and and exits out onto Anderson Hill Road. This is the first time in my life that this has ever happened to me. I am 48 years old.

i lived at chester manor (frankchopp place) about a year ago and the place still seems to be haunted even after the remodeling. i heard wierd noises in my apartment sometimes. i had a thing with always closing my bathroom door before i went to bed, because i dont like opened doors at night, and i would almost always wake up to the door being open. i think the strangest thing i have experienced though is that early one morning i was walkin to my apartment (about 4am) and i walked around the corner and could have sworn i seen someone run down the hall right through the wall.

Hello,
My wife has been doing research on this location. Our researcher for our group has been doing some calls, from what we understand it is now a low income housing. It’s harder than hell to get in there because of the laws behind low income housing, rent control, and privacy laws.

I have been by the Chester apartments and known people who have lived there and every person who has lived there has stories. However I do not think that just because they are renovating it that the hauntings will stop. It is the land they are attached to not the structure itself,they will always remain there no matter how many times you build over it. The real question is why are there so many? It just seems like there would have been some bad stuff going on in the day when it was still in operation for there to be so many people that are tormented to not leave.

People wonder why the place is haunted, well if it helps, when my uncle was staying there during some time in the 70’s or 80’s he started to get extreamly ill, forgot the diagnosis, but he went down into the basement and was found dead a while later, that could be a cause.

Is anyone interested in forming a ghost hunters group? I think Bremerton has a lot of places that could be investigated. If you’re interested let’s make it happen! You can reach me through myspace url:

My girlfriend and I just got back from visiting this apartment complex, although the address Mapquest gave us for the apartments is different. Mapquest gave us 515 Chester Ave in Bremerton, and when we drove there, we could not find a 515 on Chester Ave, and instead we found a 704 Chester Ave which looked exactly like an old hospital. I also read the hospital had 56 rooms for patients, and when we looked at the floor plan, this apartment complex had 57 rooms (they possibly added a room on). We went up the elevator and walked down the stairs to the basement and then we went back up the elevator. We are going back here soon…I just wanted to know if this is the right building, although I am quite sure of myself it is. 704 Chester Ave in Bremerton, WA – the apartment complex behing Olympic College.

Also, I was wondering if anyone has links or something to old pictures of the hospital before the rennovation, when it was still a running hospital? I’ve been looking everywhere on google and have not found any…

We went back to Chester Apartments (Now call Frank Chop Place, opened in 2005, they remodeled the place since the apartments used to be called Chestor Manor Apartments and it was run down and a bunch of drug dealers lived there at the time), located on Chester Ave in Bremerton, WA to find out if we can catch anything on video again. If you don’t know the history of these apartments, the apartment complex was used the first-ever Harrison Hospital in Bremerton, opened in 1911. Its a 4 story building with 56 rooms (now 57 rooms), an attic and a basement, and we found 2 places that were closed off to the public and were locked (those 2 being the doors to the attic which had the word “save” spray painted on the wall which it looked to be the old part of the hospital because the flooring and the stairs looked extremely OLD (we saw this because the door had a window in it you could peak through), and the other spot was the door on the other side of the apartment complex (another way to get to the attic apparently) which we found it has obscene writing on it, you’ll read about that below). The apartment rooms were old patient rooms, just imagine how many people passed away in that building and/or in the rooms people now live in!
Anyways, we recorded our 4th video exploring this chilling place (and you literally feel a prescence when you first walk into the building, I know I do everytime I walk in here). We found a door with markings on it that somebody wrote, that said, “**** you Spirits and *****. BB. 02/07/07,” which was really odd because Management had to of known of this graffiti writing since Feb 7, 2007, but they haven’t done anything about it to clean it up. About the 1 min 47 sec mark (about 3/4 of the video), when my camera was looking at a weird-shaped box on the wall:
Me: “I wonder what that is right there, that big box cut out.”
Her: “Ya”
…soon after that, you HEAR A LOUD SQUEEL SOUND AND A THUMP!
Notice, we did not HEAR this at the time we were shooting this video (if we did, trust me, we would of been FREAKING OUT) and this was not a result of my shoes because I was standing still the whole time (She can confirm this) until I started walking down the stairs, then you can hear my footsteps. Everytime I watch this part, I get the CHILLS…just to know something was there with us!
We didnt pick these sounds up until I uploaded the videos on my computer and she watched them at her house for the first time. She noticed the squeel and she called me asap to tell me! (I didn’t watch them yet because I was heating up some food in the kitchen). When she told me about this, I was like NO WAY and I had to check it out for myself. I rushed from out of the kitchen, went back on my computer, and started watching the video. About 3/4 of the way in after I said I wonder what that is right there, that big box cut out, I heard the squeel and started to freak the **** out, and my adrenilane has been rushing since then! I want to go back! We are going to go back to this very spot again soon to take more videos and pictures, hoping to get more!
We finally found something! And trust me, my adrenaline is GUSHING through my vains right now…
She even took a picture when my head was right by the door with the obscene markings and where we heard the squeel and loud thump in the video, and you can see a “perfect” white orb by me. I **** you not…

Everybody’s excellent grammar, capitalization, and punctuation really inspire me to take you all seriously. It doesn’t make you all look like the fifteen year olds that most of you are.
Now as to Chester Terrace, yes it was haunted. Whether it will continue to be now that they have completely torn down the building and re-built it remains to be seen. Possibly most will move on now that nothing exists that is familiar to them in their confused state.
