Ghost Story of Manresa Castle at Port Townsend, Washington :: Urban Legends Ghost Stories

Manresa citadel at Port Townsend, capital letterThe tosh I was told concerns the Manresa Castle at Port Townsend, in Washington State. The myth surrounding the castle is the usual belief that the castle is haunted. People go to the castle just to get word the cries and feel the tingles of staying there over night. People have also reported that when they have taken pictures while they stay there, they will be surrounded by glowing orbs in the background.The tosh pertaining to this castle I first heard in a coffee house on Capitol Hill, in Seattle, Washington. Capitol Hill is cognize for being the stomping grounds of a wide variety of people. There are bohemians, hippies, homeless people, drag queens, and lots of college students due to the fact that there are fiver colleges in the city of Seattle alone. It is also not so full of tourists, who spend more of their time at Pikes Place Market (also said to be haunted) and the Center. I spoke to the storyteller around two in t he afterwardnoon on Friday, March 23rd during my spring break. She works at a local infirmary and is finishing up medical school. She is recently married, twenty-four years old, and she grew up in West Seattle. Her mom is Ukrainian and is the principal of an elementary school. She knows of the story after hearing it from fellow students at the University of Washington, where she went for her undergraduate studies. The story was told during a regular hangout, by a girl from a town near Port Townsend. The psyche I heard the story from doesnt really pay the myth and ghost story idea any attention because of its common presence in that area. Washington state is a region known as the Haunted North West. Capitol Hill has so many ghosts that companies offer ghost tours year round.During the telling of the story there were no meaningful gestures, just pauses when the storyteller couldnt remember certain details, or when she wanted to take more sips of her macchiato. The storyteller did not relate the story with intonation or pitch changes, nor did her rate change. It was more like the stating of facts she knew.Hmm, one that is still going strong is about well I dont remember the make believe but its this castle in Port Townsend, overlooking the bay.
