I believe this story, this story is amazing to me i like the fact that a place is haunted. To see something ,ove down the hall or move things and send messeges in weirod ways is very cool. Goast are real in my mind if you see something that you thinkis a goast it mostlikly is being in a haunted house. I like to here what goasts do and how they act move and communiacte with teh living. I totally beleive in the story.

A little over a year ago The Bush House was for sale. I was interested in investing in a B&B (but my husband wasn’t), but I decided to go see it anyway. The RE agent couldn’t meet us there but we looked around the outside. The picture online made it look like it had a big parking lot when in reality it has only street parking. I was totally drawn to the place and wanted to buy it very badly (I still would love to buy it). My husband did not want us to quit our jobs and move to Index (45 min from where I live) to run a B&B. But my sister and I were joking about this place being haunted because it has a “haunted” feel to it. It is hard to explain.

yes i to wanted to buy it but it needs 280,000 thousand in foundation plus a lot of other fixin up it still needed. but i was able to get in side with a realestate agent and have film. and lots of pics it has plenty of charm and lots of ghost stories and history. which ever stories you wish to beleive its still a real awsome place. the house to the left was part of it once and its basement was the bushes house water sorce back when it was an inn for the miners. the owners lived there and ran the bed and breakfast. to bad its looking bedrageled if only i had the m0ney to buy both places and fix it up then live there till the bushes house is finished.
that little parking lot is the parking for the bushes house and house next to it, but the road is real close.the house im refering to is the one on the left of the bushes house.

My friend and I went up there last weekend. It’s a beautiful town. We took lots of pictures of the Bush House, and the rest of the town, but no ghosties looked down on us from the windows. We read that the Inn has been put on the Washington Historic Site now due to the efforts of a young boy in Index. Maybe it will be restored now. Someone was there working on the place when we were walking around taking pictures.

It was probibly late november last year, I met Alice for the first and only time.
Alice was in fact a very lovely ghost that seemed to want to touch my body, most frightning but she means no harm, later I found out she was blind and only knew people by touch….. later that night we made love!

I know Bush House is haunted as I slept in the room where the woman hanged herself, in fact, I channeled her as I was the David on the Investigation. Lots of other stuff went on there, read the report.

The Bush House is very historic it was built in 1889 and looks about the same as iy originally did but right now it is ready to fall down but there is hope a rafting coumpany called Outdoor Adventures is ging to buy the place if Loyal Nordstrum the ownerr signs the papers on the place than it will be restored and opened back up.

I channeled Alice, I slept in the room with the hanging woman. Alice could not look her husband in eyes cause of what she did. In fact there is a film called Channeling Alice, which was made while I channeled Alice and others.

Ok so about a year ago i went to the bush house for my first time. My cousin wanted to walk me around it and show me all the buildings. as we walked up we went to the front door and read a sign stating that the town was restoring it. so then we walked around and was going past a window, I heard a slight older type kinda like a record player type of music, mu cousin could not hear it. then i got a weird feeling and said we needed to leave, so as we were leaving she heard the music as well. I stood infront of tbh and she took pics i heard something in the bushes, but felt ok. when we returned we looked at the pics and orbs we everywhere. moving ones as well that looked light flashes of light. My cousin said she goes there all the time and always respects the place she just likes the ghosty things. So last night we were talking and she and her kids had went into the house (just one of the many times) and they were telling me they wanted to go back up last night, I got brave and went with, I was very scared but then felt at ease in the room number 9.we headed to the third floor and I sat in a nook, I didnt really feel anything up there just that i didnt want to be there so we went down, as we were walking back down the hall on the second floor getting ready to go back down i thought i saw a figure by the last room before the stairs on the way to go down,later in the car my son said the same thing and so did my cousin.we took video and played it back at home and after we asked if anyone was there on the video we heard what sounded like a spray bottle like windex or something and appeared to be right next to us.this was on the 2nd floor hmmm. so after veiwing that the kids wanted to go one more time so we gave it like an hr or so and then went back. this time i was not afraid, I felt very safe, but after being in there for mabey 10 minutes… but it felt like 30 mins, time seems to go slow there, I heard a faint cry, so i turned and sitting at a table was a woman with her head in her hands. BTW I didnt read any of the info on this page or any other things about tbh till today, and I felt i wanted to leave, so I headed back to the the receptionist desk and to head to the staircase area and that side room there and four out of nine of us heard this mean deep growl, and I felt breath on me and the smell of mold, I got scared and ran to the first room on the left side of the stair case on the first floor and i saw a big dark tall figure that felt angry so i bolted and actually peed my pants, the others remained in tbh for mabey 10 more minutes then came out, oh and as i left i was gonna walk calmly to the car which was parked across the street but heard someone following me but when i turned around no one was there and so i ran to the car, my son then told me when they came back that right after i left he heard foot steps right outside the window, we took pics of outside this time and no orbs, sad they arent happy anymore. We did however capture standing in one of the window in two pics same window, a figure with what looked like a greenish bluish suite on with a tie in both pics he has moved alittle, Its not like a real person kidna ghostly. I am terrfied to back into the house but I will look at it from outside, I do hope it gets fixed up mabey then I will go inside and feel safe. OH and we got another pic of what appeared to be three smokey figures walking on the sidewalk infront of two of the kids we brought. weird and my cousins daughter had just said before we took the pic that she felt “they” are walking on the sidewalk as she said it.
