| Gog-li-hi-ti Wetlands | Just to the South of the Wetlands Park was one of the places that the Puyallup Indian tribe buried their dead, along the banks of the Puyallup River. Many persons fishing there have seen a canoe paddled by a Native American pull up to the bank, then disappear. There have been reports of singing and voices near the river. The Army Corp of Engineers now fences off the area. Late at night workers and fisherman report an old man with a yellow dog walking the banks of the North Levee Rd. People re... |
| Old City Hall | Security guards there have reported elevators moving on their own accord, lights being turned off and on, and doors that were locked being checked and found unlocked. There is a spooky vibe there, and several guards have quit rather than work at that location. |

| University of Puget Sound | Inside Theatre - The Inside Theatre (the name may have changed in the past few years)is haunted by an unseen, but essentially benign presence. The ghost does not appear physically, but manifests itself by shifting scenery, turning on and off lights, slamming doors, rattling paint cans, etc. There is one case in which a student was leaning over the catwalk to change a light and lost her balance. She felt an unseen force jerk her backwards onto the catwalk, ostensibly preventing her from falling.. |
