Port Gamble
Port Gamble was formerly named after Lt. Robert Gamble in 1853. The Lieutenant was wounded in the War of 1812 and this was the way the people of Port Gamble, Washington chose to honor this American hero. This exact location also inspired Andrew Pope and William C. Talbot of the Pope and Talbot Company of San Francisco to move to Port Gamble. Port Gamble proved to be the best location to supply the lumber needs of California. Captain Josiah P. Keller started the Puget Sound Mill Company in 1853. The mill would close decades later in 1995, making it the longest operating sawmill in the United States. Many spirits have been known to haunt the sites of Port Gamble.
There is the apparition of a ghostly woman who looks out at people from the third-floor window at the Walker-Ames House, and the spirit of a stage manager who still seems to overlook the activities being held at the community theater. The Thompson house is haunted by James A. Thompson, who built the first part of the house in 1859, after coming to Port Gamble from Maine. A few other public buildings are haunted, including the general store, where a man’s voice was recorded even though there was no one there. Evergreen Paranormal have done investigations at Port Gamble and found many orbs and results with EVP’s.

I just recently went through Port Gamble, and i automatically knew it was haunted. I went home a immediately got on the computer to search for proof. The town has that eerie, creepy feeling as though there are a lot of haunted spirits. Very creepy.
