My friends and I stayed the night at Manresa Castle on April 19, 2008. It was my birthday celebration and I had taken a picture of my friend and the top of the attic stairs. There was an orb above her head. She was dressed in a sheet with two eyes cut in to it. We stayed in room 302 and only heard a couple of bangs on the digital recorder. We also heard the heater going and my snoring. I was very excited to have an opportunity to stay there. I only wish my friend would have been more serious about our quest for ghost hunting. I would do it again. Only the next time I would like to have access to the attic.

I went back to the castle. We stayed in the room 302 -tower suite. the room was amazing and I didn’t feel anything strange there but around the castle we got many photographs with solid orbs in it. It was an amazing experience and the room was amazing!!!

I live 1 block away from the castle in a trailer park and I’m visited every night by spirits.

dude we are not talking about the spirits in your bottle… we are talking about what might be after you die or somthing like that. have a good drink and a good night. mrs perswation

OH OH I see. I get those two mixed up some times

My wife and I booked a reservation for room 306 this Saturday night, June 21st. We will be bringing my laptop for our base station, a video camera with nightshot plus and infrared attachment, a voice recorder, an EMF detector, a K2 meter, an infrared temperature gauge, and much more. We plan on doing a formal investigation and our goal is to contact the spirits living in room 306 as well as in Manresa Castle as we plan on walking through the hallways. Stay tuned as we will post our results. Please feel free to visit our website at:

We found some worth looking at.

My family and I are a year new to the State of Washington. I am and always will believe in the supernatural. As I have also had loads of experiences with those who have passed before my birth and I was never shown any photographs of them told my own mother what this person looked like upon visiting me. She is a sensitive as am I. I feel and hear them. I am only capable of seeing them through my peripheral vision. I have asked the “older” locals about the castle, at least those who would talk about the hauntings there. And a lot were about the lady killing herself, the castle burning down and of the monks. Many told me the memories of the place was mint to be kept as they were, only memories.My first paranormal experience was on a farm that was built in the 1800s. In 1920, the couple who resided there at the time were out in the barn when they smelled smoke. The attic was on fire. He called all the locals he could to come help put it out. One young man about 16 at the time lost his life in the fire. The fire was so hot it caused the resident to loose a great deal of his hearing. When we first rented this house in 1976 I was five. The only thing he told us was the attic had been rebuilt but a good many of the studs were still not stable to walk on. My two brothers and I thought this was said to keep us out. Which when the folks were gone we didn’t exactly listen. One day my eldest brother and I were out in the garden doing chores while my other brother was being rushed to the ER due to 2000 hornet stings, we heard “Fire, Fire, the house is on fire!” My eldest brother and I looked puzzled as we were the only two home. We looked up and sure enough there was smoke pouring out of the attic and a young man standing there screaming. I was told to stay put, while my brother went in to see what was going on and find out how that man got into our home since there were no neighbors who lived closer than a mile away from us. We lived way out in the middle of no where so to speak. My brother went in and didn’t come out. The smoke was getting blacker and thicker. I ran in, headed up the stairs, felt the coldest cold that no winter anywhere could get so cold, smelt and heard the fire, seen my brother under his bed as white as white can get. No sooner did this start to happen it ended. No fire, no smoke and no young man. Our Landlord mentioned any of this to our parents or to us kids. It was such a bad incident he never spoke of it. We were told years later about it by his brother. It was their baby brother who lost his life in that fire. For things to happen that we see in our life that took place long before our birth, are always told it’s implanted in our minds by stories others tell. How can this be so when we witness things others refuse to talk about and it happened before our birth? Believe in what you want. I have had my share of experiences to say I believe. Because these things are there and they are real. Things I should not have knowledge of but I do and I did not gain them from other people telling me. I went to the people and asked about these things in which I should never have known about. There are your believers and there are your doubters. We are a world of the mixed. There are those who tray and tell us they are all demons trying to scare us and confuse us.I don’t believe in that. Demons are here to take us and harm us. The experiences I have had I have felt no fear. I embrace my gift. All the women in my family have a paranormal gift.Now my next to the last daughter is an extreme sensitive who can see in direct sight, feel and hear spirits. She too embraces her gift and I tell her not to let her gift run her life but needs to run it herself.

the manresa castle has never burned down or caught fire so please check the history of a place before you say stuff that makes the rest of what you say hard to beleive. I have checked the history and the hospital next to it burned douwn but NOT THE CASTLE. the hospital had several patients that burned in that fire. miss perswaytion

Dear Fellow Writers,
I worked for Manresa Castle several years ago, I never beleived the stories and was never into the whole ghost thing, The place made a believer out of me. I have finally in the last few years been able to talk about it, but it sent me running from the top floor down the stairs and out the front door never to step foot back in there, I even had them mail me my last pay check. I will have to say the place is very beautiful and has a old charm to it. The smell is very vintage,(lovely) and if the ghost stories don’t bother you or if you are imuned to the bumps in the night. Then you will love your stay there. This house/hotel, is very attractive,if your really into old things, you could get lost in the history, the decor,and the life in that area. Any way I don’t know how far fetched the stories have gotten, but yes the monk hung himself in the tower, yes a lady committed scuicide, no it didn’t burn, the hospital next door did. A wide variaty of things have happened there, from doors closing the wrong way, names whispered in your ear when no one is there but you, the jacuzzi
filling with water and the door closes and won’t open, make your bed and it looks like someone is laying on it but no one is there, a ghost, moans, cries, ect…. It doesn’t happen to everyone but it does definatly happen!!!!!

Again check out our website! You can hear a man laugh in the middle of the night while everyone was sleeping and something answering our questions…

just a quick up date on this hotel.actualy the hotel that use to stand across the main road and up from the castle. the hotel that every one refers to have burned down was not manresa but the original builder of manresa did build another hotel that was huge compared to manresa. thats the hotel that burned down, not manresa,at that time manresa was mr eisenbeis family home, when you get to manresa you will find 2 portraits with the picture of that structure in them, the staff will be happy to show those 2 you one is to the right of check in desk the other is down the hall on the right. yes it is fun to ghost hunt maybe you can add to the ghost stories your own fun adventure.

My best friend and I, and our two daughters, stayed at Manresa Castle just a few nights ago, in the top tower room – room 302. It was a belated Mother’s Day present from my daughter. (The staff is incredibly friendly, and the food is great!) We checked with the desk clerk before taking pictures to be sure we wouldn’t be disturbing any other guests, but spent most of our time out in the courtyard. Interior pictures showed nothing unusual, but between three of us we took nearly 200 pictures out there, and the orbs that showed up in them were amazing. Consecutive shots showed some orbs moving forward to back, then at angles, and one pic of the two daughters has a ‘mist’ above their hands. It seemed that the happier we were the more orbs in the pics – and they were brighter, too when the girls were dancing around and laughing. We later came to the conclusion that the ’spirits’ had chosen to come out and ‘play’ in the courtyard with us rather than stay in the quiet interior of the castle

has any body heard of the ghost road in Kitsap County,between Bremerton and Silverdale called Holland?

yes i have heard of sed road. 3 stories, one of girl raped or hit by a car while jogging, and if you drive slowly she will appear next to your car and if you look at her she steals your sole.or some dumb stuff like that whats you vertion of the storie.andthe other is of a man hit by car while getting his mail one dark foggy night.

Sweet, I am going there Saturday, Room 202. I will follow up here with what I find out. Anyone else reading this now going this weekend?

I think the castle is a beautiful icon here in Port Townsend which I
live now. I have been in before, never staying all night, but am a believer
in the spiritual world. I lived in an apt. on Canfield in Los Angeles and
saw, heard, smelled, negative dwellings there. Manresa is anything but
negative, and would encourage any one to experience what ever it is they are
seeking. If nothing els a great time and view.

if you havnt seen manresa in the snow you must go, for that is truly a beautifull sight. complete with christmas tree in the study. not to mention the outrageous veiw of the mountains and water.no exciting ghost tails from this visit,they must be happy.want to stay go to PTGUIDE.COM

I was there this weekend on jan 9-11-09 in room 302 we had a wonderful time my daughter and her friend were in bed by 10:00, and out by 11:00. the paopla below us complained that there were children running up and down the hall till 11:30 and I was standing there when they made complaint and I told them my kids were in the room by 9:45 and asleep by 11:00 so it was not them (no other children in castle except for 2 girls in cottages and they were with there mom so not them)but when I told those people that what they sed was not true for they were sleeping by 11:00 and in our room no later then 9:45, they wrote an E-mail to the owner/manager that they had an awfull night and running in the hall till 10:30 still not proper time for my kids.they were in our room from 9:45 0n. later that evening my husband told me that he could hear 2 young children playing on the 2nd floor and he could not see them but he heard laughter and voices. I now beleive because of my 2 girls and the other 2 girls playing in the ballroom caused the children of the eisenbeis family to become active for my daughter sed she could see the little girl ghost named “chawanna”and they wanted to play as well and so I am sure thats what the jerk people herd and did not realize they had there own ghost encounters.after all they bought the ghost stiry books in the lobby.May be they were just hoping for a free night. Personally I love going up there any time I can there # is360-895-5750 rooms go for 109-229 or there web site http://www.manresacastle.385-5750 Ihopr thats the proper web site good luck and hope to see or hear about your stories donna
