π» There's a town on the Kitsap Peninsula where 45 out of 50 buildings are reportedly haunted β and the town manager gives the ghost tours himself.
π Port Gamble looks like a postcard. A perfectly preserved 1850s New England mill town sitting on the edge of Puget Sound. Charming, quiet, historic. Until you know what's inside.
π‘ Six separate paranormal investigation teams visit every year. The town has hosted an annual Ghost Conference every October for over a decade. And the town manager β Pete Orbea β leads the ghost walks personally.

Port Gamble, Washington β built in 1852 β is widely considered the most haunted town in Washington State. The crown jewel is the Walker-Ames House, an 1888 Victorian that has been vacant for years. Witnesses report seeing a woman and child in the upstairs windows from the street. Inside, investigators have documented disembodied voices, footsteps on empty floors, physical touching, and shadow figures. The basement is considered the most active area.
Ghost tours and the annual Ghost Conference run every October. It's about an hour from Seattle β and you can visit this month.
