Tacoma Ghost Stories

[@CorkysTeaTime2022]

Yes please I would love a van tour I'm slightly disabled (elderly) and love your videos, I have had ghosts reach out to me for help,......

[@rushfanjames2112]

I worked at Tacoma General Hospital for almost 20 years. Working the overnight shift doin various things, I would hear and see things here and there. Very fascinating to me. Puget Sound Hospital was also another hotspot for stuff.

[@Tuannguyen-uc3st]

Now I am creeped out because I live in South Tacoma

[@Twisted_drip]

Thank you for all of your hard work

[@Twisted_drip]

I’ve been loving your channel!! I love how much research you do into our beautiful home state Washington 💚

[@PrettyGrittyTours]

@@Twisted_drip thanks!

[@melisawitz9141]

My home town is Bremerton, any stories about there I'd love to hear them.....also love Spokane too

[@myleftnut3934]

Yes. There’s the old VFW? Or one of those like minded service group. There’s a haunted road too along with a number of others. Including an old hospital that was repurposed as an apartment complex.

Growing up in Tacoma we always heard that 5 mile drive in PT Defiance is haunted at night by a faceless little girl that rides a bike. I'm curious if anyone else heard that story.

[@PrettyGrittyTours]

Absolutely! That was one of the first ones I ever heard.

[@thegaspatthegateway]

I always think of that one when I think of local haunted sightings

[@pedrosanchez-dm9ij]

@@PrettyGrittyTours get back to me. This is crazy. The one spot and we had an encounter.

[@PrettyGrittyTours]

@@pedrosanchez-dm9ij was it out on 5 Mile drive?

[@pedrosanchez-dm9ij]

@@PrettyGrittyTours are these true because of our recent experience. We want to know more.

It's very cool seeing these haunted buildings. I once visited a friend at his office in the old city hall. He said he absolutely would not stay after 5:00. He once stayed well-after business hours to finish a project, and said that there were constant voices and people walking around inside the building.

[@elleshock4571]

I am 61 years old and grew up in Tacoma. My family has been here since the 1800's. When I was in high school, my friends and I went to the old Western State hospital in Steilacoom in the middle of the night. We climbed the fence and got into a window on the lower floor and started walking the hallways in the dark. One of the guys had a flashlight, and we were looking into the rooms that we then realized was an old medical wing. One room had old dental equipment and chairs. It was so freaky looking. We stood at the door and shone the flashlight in there, and a whole dental tray on wheels flipped over and we ran and screamed like hell. Maybe it was a vagrant but I don't think so cuz it was pretty well watched over. I remember we all piled back into the car. Just screaming in our hearts pounding. We were seriously so scared. Old Steilacoom is purportedly very haunted too. The old ER Rogers building that used to be a restaurant is now a law firm, and the Bahr Drug store is still there and very haunted. It is a restaurant cafe now. Once in a while on Halloween, they'll do a feature piece in the newspaper.

[@KDBee-ri5hi]

I remember going to ER Rogers right before it turned into the law firm.

[@jasonyoung9249]

How about the ravine where the trolley car fell off a trestle? 43 were killed and 65 injured July 4th. 1900.

[@PrettyGrittyTours]

I know I have covered that a few times but now I’m trying to remember where I posted it

[@jasonyoung9249]

@@PrettyGrittyTours I wonder if they abandoned and replaced the building because of paranormal activity?

[@doyledean2763]

It's at the foot of Delin Street, and is now under the freeway.

Gorgeous mansion💗

[@stefanidowling]

I lived in a huge old house (built in the early 1900s) right off of 107th & Broadway and right away I felt like that house was haunted or something happened in it. It’s still basically original and hasn’t been updated or remodeled so, it gives it that feeling of being back in time. It might sound kind of strange or silly to some ppl but, while living there, every time u were upstairs (where the bdrms are, u just get a heaviness feeling like depressed or kinda sad and my bdrm had a small closet type space in it but, if u looked inside of it, it’s like a little tunnel which I’ve never seen and it was kinda neat but, odd at the same time. Anyways, I moved out but, went to stay the wknd there recently and my bf and I stayed up in one of the bdrms and my bf told me that he didn’t like the way it felt and he couldn’t sleep the whole night and he actually scared me one night having a nightmare and thrashing around and he doesn’t believe in ghosts or anything of that nature but, he said, he never wanted to stay there again. I believe that house has some history to it and I’d really like to find out about it and to see if anything happened in it. It’s a really cool house especially since alot of it is original. If u live in or are from Tacoma (Parkland/Lakewood area) u might know of this house as it is pretty big and basically right on the corner of the street so it’s hard to miss.

[@enoccastillo772009]

I would like to check it out whit a team of 5 that like to take late night walks

[@frozenfear]

I love every kind of PG virtual tour, but still have a soft spot for what brought me here originally: Spooky & Mystery Thank you again for all the hard work!

[@hobbyfarmer62]

Now speaking as someone who has live in Washington state up I-5 near Canada all I can say is Tacoma has attracted the weird groups and people from all over the state. It is our states weird magnet

[@SafeHavenStudiosLLC]

Thank you!! ❤

[@thegaspatthegateway]

Bahaha a few years back I lived on 7th and Commerce, right across from the old clock tower. My window looked right at the old warehouse turned parking garage. Of course if there was chanting, I'd have never heard it because that part of town is always bumping at night. People used to love taking photos though, the flash photography was constant. Had some weird experiences though AMA anything I guess lol

[@MissJoy16]

What's one of your weird experiences?

[@melisawitz9141]

There's a rake in the gulch

[@giobreek]

Interestingly the house on 8th st is only 5 minutes away from Ted Bundy's childhood home. Anyways, Apartments Pacific Walk are very haunted, And West Side Estates, also. The KFC on 38th street by the goodwill and Zips...also haunted. I keep coming and editing to add more as i remember. Point defiance house near the Rose garden (not the Pagoda) also haunted but i know the pagoda is supposed to be as well.

[@Chasing.therain]

Love the jump scares! LOL

[@RickMolina-go2vm]

Good shit man, new subscriber here living off of north pearl, keep up the good vids and I'll keep watching... also looking forward to taking a few tours 🤘

[@denisewright5244]

i grew up in Tacoma in !965 i am 56 now always what to know about these place thank y

[@heathenwolf4997]

31:20 that's the Rake. I seen it with my own eyes before... 48:56 sounds like a man died in that area, and the soul is attached to that spot. It is quite common for that to happen with spirits.

[@dr.estoh_1nder447]

When I was a little kid, I watched the smelting plants smoke tower get imploded and dropped, I watched it at the top of the hill that is between the Ruston waterfront and the Ruston police station, my grandparents lived a 5 minute walk from point defiance park, 2 blocks from the police station, then when I was in my mid 20s my ex girlfriend and I lived in old Town, so that whole area holds a special spot in my heart

[@joannajamerson35]

I just commented on your haunted bars in Washington and I stopped that one to watch the one in Tacoma because I lived in North Tacoma in a lot of different places and then I know friends that lived all over Tacoma and still do and Tacoma is one of the most haunted places I've ever been and I think you probably know that the town of concrete is haunted as well but I am so excited to watch this video

[@jackiduke]

Thoroughly enjoyed this Chris! Sure miss doing in-person tours! The Pantages restroom pics reminded me of under Lakewood Theatre. Hope you were able to get down there.

[@PrettyGrittyTours]

I haven’t yet. They went dark during the pandemic and it didn’t get to happen. Hopefully next year.

When I lived at Bella Vista apartments by foss high school. The apartment we lived in was haunted. When we first moved in I was 17 at the time. My baby sister was 8 she screamed and said she saw a man with red hair in the hallway. I didn't believe her cause we were the only ones home while my mom was at work.. couple years went by. My cousin called me late at night saying he was coming over.. I'm like alright. I was Rollin up a phattie. And I thought I heard the front door open and close but I wasnt sure. So I looked in the hallway and saw a massive black mass move from the front door go down the hallway into my mom's room.. her door was open and the TV was on.. the mass completely blocked the light of the TV out. I was like woah... My cousin showed up about 30 min later and I told him about it... So we put a camera up in the hall way... We put a ball in the middle of the hall way cause my cousin said ghosts like balls ( no homo ) 😂 .. but after a few min he said the ball was moving.. about 10 min went by and he saw the same thing I saw. We watched the footage. And were shocked.. you see the black mass manifest out of thin air. Go up to the ball for like 30 seconds. Then it flairs out as wide as the hallway. Then darts into the bedroom... We're like wtf. Then we did an evp.. I asked how tall it was and what color hair it had. Basic questions.. when reviewing the evp. We got 6'3 in height and red hair.. everything else wasn't very audible... Then I asked my baby sister about the man she saw that night when we first moved in.. I asked how tall he was.. she stood up on the bed had to put her hand up bout 6'3 i asked what color hair he had she said red.. I'm like damn... No sightings after that. Sometimes I herd footsteps in the kitchen next to me tho...

[@pedrosanchez-dm9ij]

I live in Tacoma and my house is haunted.

[@pedrosanchez-dm9ij]

My house as previous owners would desrcibe as if someone is watching you constantly when your downstairs in the basement. I was up at 330 a.m. one morning and the bathroom light turned on. I was in the kitchen. If you are downstairs late at night you hear footsteps up above as well as things being moved. Doors open as well as lights being turned on downstairs when its only 2 of us and noone has been down there. Child scared of a shadow she saw. Dog barking at nothing. List goes on. Oh and banging on the front door and noone there. Ok last one. There is more. The creepiest part is my buddy stayed here before me and told me to move because of what he experienced. What a buddy to even let me move in.

[@Toodippedtonotdrip]

BS

[@KDBee-ri5hi]

​@@pedrosanchez-dm9ijSounds like you made the choice to move in after your buddy warned you. Are you still living there now? How is your little one doing if you still are?

I pet sat at the carriage house by the 2nd Rust mansion for 3 weeks. Glad I didn’t listen to this episode before that is all I can say. Beautiful home though

July 4th 1900 .. 43 died in a street car accident 1905 -1920 7 African Americans dead in their late teens ... As south Tacoma had a massive KKK presence ... A lynching tree. Once stood on south Oakes St ( the tree was a large Ash) the graves can be found at the. NW side of Tacoma. Cemetery Point defiance.. the ghost of Jennifer a young girl who was killed by a Thailand immigrant (who later killed 6 year old xina a Russian immigrant) can be seen around dusk near camp 6 where the old train tracks and logging equipment once stood. Tacoma Ave.. stairs that once led up to Chinese immigrant homes remain while their houses had been burned down as they were collectively ushered out of the city.... Tacoma has a ton of dark history, that has been hushed.

The bell tower in Old City Hall was built in honor of their daughter who died of diabetes. All of Tacoma's prominent founding fathers are buried in the South Tacoma cemetery to include the Wallace's. I believe he was an ambassador.

The house about the Bird/Kludt house on the hill top is NOT true. My parents lived there for years and we did not witness any of those things.

Hello I've lived in Tacoma the majority of my life I lived on 8th and 9th in a blue house that seemed like it always had a bad aura drugs assaults in people I knew changed into monsters yes I lived there I so many stories what other people who live there good and bad young young women trying to raise their children in an environment with with no I was there when the Cubans came through I was there when people were dropping like flies on the okay but now I've grown and learned from my mistakes and yes I know of some hauntings in many buildings I've lived in thank you for sharing but that's a drop in the bucket.
