Port Gamble, Washington’s Haunted Town?

During the months of January and February of 2008, AGHOST was granted a unique opportunity to investigate several locations within the historic town of Port Gamble, WA and recently presented the town with a report of our results.






Port Gamble, located near Hood Canal was founded in 1853 and survived as a lumber town until 1995 with the longest continuously operating mill in the US. The mill is gone now but the town remains, retaining its Victorian charm. If you have not had the opportunity to travel to this beautiful gem on the sound, I encourage you to take the trip and to visit the wonderful shops there. It is well worth the drive.




During our two weekend-long visits, AGHOST teams investigated the historic Walker Ames House, the Community Hall, the Captain Daniel Jackson House, the Guest House, the town cemetery and the old town Morgue. Audio and photographic evidence were recorded as well as the personal experiences of some of our members. The Walker Ames House is currently undergoing interior renovations and it will be interesting to find out if that alters the activity there.

It was a great experience working with the management team at the town and we hope for the opportunity to return for additional investigations in the future. For more information about the town of Port Gamble, visit their website at http://www.portgamble.com/.
