For all who are like me who believe in ghosts,and spirits,had their share of haunts etc. more power to you. BUT for the jerks that want to be “Kill Joys”….KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!

I stayed the night at Manresa Castle with my boyfriend for our 2 year anniversary, we will in Sequim, the next town over, and I LOVE ghost stories, a total believer, I mean, my after life goal is to become a ghost, hahaha. So anyways, we stayed in the room directly above the door closest to the tower, I don’t remember what number it was. So when we got in the room, the phone in there was unplugged, we thought ‘weird’, but didn’t think anything of it. The room and the whole place seemed pretty normal. As much as I’d love to believe in ghosts and hauntings, I need some significant proof. So time went on, and the heater placement in the bathroom is rediculous by the way, it’s directly on the toilet, so don’t turn it on if you need to be able to sit down in oder to pee, haha. I took a ton of pictures in the room, nothing showed to be abnormal in any way. But when we plugged the phone in to call the dining room place to get something, when he hung up and left, the phone kept ringing nonstop.. no one was on the other end, just.. kept ringing, I thought it was creepy as hell, so we just unplugged it again. Then he set an alarm on his cellphone to wake up in the morning, for 8:36, and it was I think 8:35 when he set it, and he said ‘lets watch the time turn so that it’ll be EXACTLY 12 hours before we have to wake up’.. so we did, because we’re that cool. The time ended up turning back 3 minutes instead, and he freaked out while I just hysterically laughed, I don’t know why cuz I was freaking out inside too but I could not help but laughing. So we calm down, and I noticed it was about to turn 36 again, but instead it went ahead 3 minutes, changing again back to the normal time. It just would NOT let us watch the clock change to the time we wanted. It was ridiculous. Other than the phone issues in the room, we kept hearing walking around, a lot, and noises above us closest to the wall against the tower rooms. There was a family there with kids, so I don’t know if they were staying above us or not, but lots of noises were heard, and when we were out and about the place, no one but us would be walking around. The noises weren’t proof of haunting at all, I don’t think, could just be very bad insulation and you can hear everything. As far as the phone problems, that was weird, and I have no explanation for those other than electronics can be wonky? I dont know, but I did steal a really cool looking fork from the food we had there, haha. Over all, it’s a beautiful place and I loved it to death.

There is little doubt that the Manresa Castle is haunted my story,hard to believe as it is, is as follows: I arrived in Port Townsend (hereafter referred to as “that one ****** town”)one day in the summer of 1988. After putting the boat up in the yard the crew (hereafter referred to as “those ******* guys”)and I headed up town? and ended up at The Back Alley,and promptly got messed up. Anyhoo I hooked up with some strumpet and we ended up at the Manresa Castle(hereafter referred….. you ******* get it). Well as I said I/we were plowed and we had some fun and had a little six or seven hour nap, oh did I mention that this chick was really good looking when we hooked up ? Well I awoke to discover that this trollop had transformed into something so hideous that found myself levitating to the head where I immediately blew this greenish **** all over the commode,the tank,the wall etc.-a ******* mess. After recovering sufficiently to understand that I had to get out of there at all cost I began to move as stealthily as possible towards the bedroom and the troll that had somehow tricked me into ******* it. I padded cautiously accross the floor when it happened…….the thing, the spirit,the poltergeist the whatever it ******* was ? the ghost flew out of my *** with a report similar to a ******* seal bomb…and the creature on the bed stirred,****.Luckily it remained asleep and I hastily dressed as the phantasm took on the form of an odor that can only be described as something that would gag a maggot, surely this was what it would smell like if the doorway to hell were to suddenly open wide.Coincidentally the abberation on the bed had its legs thrown wide open,and now that I think about it the strench was emminating from that direction…but never mind about that as escape is the only thing that matters. As I crept through the door and quietly closed it behind me I was thankful to have survived a night in a place so desecrated and unholy that it had possesed my mind,my vision,my stomach and my *** with sights,sounds and those ******* smells so vile they are almost beyond description. Stay at the Manreas Castle at your peril. P.S. The she devil searched me out and found me at the cursed watering hole she ambushed me at the night before as I was imbibing potions in an attempt to chase the demons from my body. You will rest comfortably in the knowledge that I,through sheer force of will resisted the foul temptress and only let her blow me out behind the bar. Sincerely, Sir Johnny Buttcracke ESQ.

Hello all. My wife and I run a group in the Bremerton area called Washington State Paranormal Society. Anyways, we would love to do another formal investigation of Manresa Castle. We are going back on October 11, 2009. Feel free to check out our website by clicking on my name and stay tuned for more info.

Well, it was about…5 1/2 yrs. ago when I went into the Manresa Castle. I didn’t plan on staying the night there, so I automatically knew that I wouldn’t be able to hear or smell anything odd. I have had experiences of the supernatural in my life. But the day that I was there, I only wanted to take pics of the room 302 where the wife supposedly flung herself out of the window. I developed the pics and nothing showed up. No orbs, no mist. Nothing. I do plan on going there again in the future to do some more investigating. Anyone who plans on going there this year should email me: bettinasanangel@hotmail.com
please, no advertisements and people who don’t believe in the supernatural.
Thanks!
Bettina

I stayed at the castle in 2004 and then again in 2006 for christmas The castle is beautifull, and has an errie calm about it. We had a great time and Preston was a great host. He let us take pictures (our chrismas pictures in period costumes in the parlor) We had a great time nd there was a presence aoung us. I have moved away from Wasington to te east coast, but if I ever go back to Washington I will go back to the castle.

I got the opportunity to stay here once, yes there was a lot of strange noises, but what was suprising was a young woman in her 20s to 30s walking around half naked…..to bad she was a ghost!

Why is this place listed in Maltby? It is about two hours from Maltby.

It is however haunted and the nicest place I have ever stayed. Been there three times twice for weddings. The staff is great and will go to any length to make sure that enjoy your stay.

The staff will share with you the stories and if you tell them you want the haunted rooms they will glady set you up. I think they are 302 and 309.

Do enjoy but be prepared these ghosts are quiet!

Note that the Castle is not in Maltby, as this site says, but in Port Townsend, WA.

the haunted rooms are 302,306, they are to be the most haunted but with the many times my family and i go there ive had weird things happen in room 302 my toes got messaged while sleeping in the bed by the door, in 306 my sis and i kaept getting cold spots and sometimes the one side of our arms. in room 307 my husband and iwere trying to sleep the bed vibrated then noises in the court yard nothing there i looked out the window for 2 men talking nothing not even in the parking lot of q.f.c. room 204 had things get moved the knot on the head bord looked like a victirian female portrait could not redue that pic, and a darting light ??? and in room 315 just felt real happy. then we caught a weird shadow in the ballroom with night shots camera and my daughter sed she seen a kitty on the back wall of the ballroom and i took a pic and had an orb. then mentioned it to the front desk and they told me about a little boy who wanted to know who was going to take care of the kitty when they left, they have no pets at manresa castle. so these are some of the fun we have had and cant wait to exaperience more mrs perswaytion

This castle is haunted, We took video and have actual evidence that this place is haunted, We stayed in room 306, super haunted! Try it for yourself!

My fiance and I are going up there 3/26/2010. I can’t wait to see if the castles reputation is founded or not. We live in Oregon and have done quite a bit of paranormal investigations localy.
