by Ira Wesley Kitmacher (Author)
The Puget Sound region is known for its idyllic scenery--and for harboring the paranormal.
From the spirits of frontiersmen and adventurers to specters of soldiers and sailors, chilling tales abound. Ghostly full body apparitions are said to endlessly travel the Oregon Trail, and the doomed 17-man crew of the Andelana, drowned in Tacoma's Commencement Bay, have been spotted still sailing. In Olympia, a ghostly boy wanders the Governor's Mansion, and the spirit of Tacoma Hotel mascot Jack, an 800-pound brown bear, haunts the streets nearby.
Author and historian Ira Wesley Kitmacher reveals the fascinating history of Puget Sound's resident spirits.
