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.

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.
If anyone has any stories to share or other haunted places to visit in the great NW please contact me @ jacknormaniii@gmail.com
Wish me luck!

I’ve visited and stayed at Manresa several times, and several times in the “haunted” rooms, the tower suite and the one a couple doors down. The tower room had a beautiful feel, nothing untoward. The other, CREEPY. One visit. Other visits, nothing. The creepy visit, the air felt thick and oppressive as I stood in one particular spot. When I stepped in any direction–fine. Back into that spot— CREEPY. I was something very strange and very powerful.

Another visit, I felt something strange about the bathroom. Something repellant.

I want to go.. Ghost hunting is one of my fave things to do, and i love hearing stories on them… and just being in contact with the ghosts and demons is fun! hahaha!! So I will definitely visit sometime with my mom, who also loves ghost hunting and stories, Thanks!

my family and i have lived in port townsend for years, my mother had the pleasure of working at the castle. the male entity responded to the name charlie, and the castle it’s self was once a hospital, untill they built a new one next store.

In less than a month my friends and I are going to stay at the castle in room 306 for a couple of days and can’t wait to get to see what it’s all about…What things happen in that room and around the castle?

please check a map…Manresa Castle is nowhere near Maltby. Maltby is just down the road from where I am right now, but Manresa Castle is in Port Townsend…four hours and two ferry rides away.

i went up to manresa with my ghost box and got into the attic. and asked if they liked eny of the ghost hunters and it sed none.. so i asked what about me there was no response… either they left or they really dont like me but i have only good things happen never feel creepy or eerie. when we were up there. there was a little girls b-day party they had the ballroom deced out in mardi gras stuff it mmade it very festive the girls seem to be having a blast. the b-day girl says she was playing with the little ghost girl .she calls her chawanha or somthing like that. interestng.

i love manresa-castle.i play with the little ghost girl chawanha.

For any one who does not believe please stay just one night in room 306 and make sure to take a digital camera. I stayed there in october of 2010 and very clear pictures of hundreds of orbs as well as plasmic mist. I never once felt threatened in any way but did experience things that can only be clisified as paranormal. I am returning to visit Kate(the ghost of room 306) in April and can not wait. The friendly staff and amazing rooms will leave you wanting more and the restaraunt cant be beat. I challenge you to stay there for just one night and you too will be a believer!

Heading out for room 306 this weekend, wish us luck.
