Rumored to be the spirit of a kid who attended the school in the 80's who died while he attended. There's a plaque commemorating him in the front-left of the school near the bus lane. Lake Stevens - A woman was killed while driving through a railing into Lake Stevens. People have claimed to see her floating above the water, staring at people as they drive by. Lakewood - Thornewood Castle Bed and Breakfast Inn - This is the building that Stephen King filmed the movie Rose Red, but other real life things have been found there. Orbs and Ectoplasm are the most that they have found yet. Leavenworth - Leavenworth cemetery - this place was once the burial site for railroad workers in the late 1800's, if you enter the cemetery at night you may see the workers carrying their lanterns, and some claimed to have heard the hammering of railroad spikes, and the workers whistling Long Beach - The Lamplighter Restaurant - They had a ghost inhabiting the bar area, who would play pool (while others were trying to have a game, of course) and do various other obnoxious things like turning lights on and off. They somehow managed to track down the source, and had the ashes of the deceased patron suspected of being the ghost sitting on the mantle of the restaurant's fireplace removed. Most activity stopped when this was done. - February 2004 Update: the owner of the lamplighter restaurant in long beach and the manager would like to let you know that the ashes of the deceased owner (Louie) are still on the mantle and that there is still a lot of strange things going on here. Long Beach - Lighthouse Resort - The Lighthouse Resort then known as The Lighthouse Motel was built in the 1950's. The older "ridge" cabins are haunted. Guests write in journals that are in the rooms and there are entries of TV s turning on and off. Rocking chairs rocking for ten minutes or more for no reason. Doors opening and closing with no explanation. Waking up and finding the living room furniture re arranged and moved. The words, "I can't breath" & "burn" have been whispered in a visitors ear while sleeping. Longview - Heron Point - This place was supposedly built on an old Indian burial ground. Some people have reported seeing Indians walking the streets at night and that they just disappear. Another ghostly sighting has been a tall man dressed in all black with a black hood and a long kind of satin like material than drags down to the ground. People usually see him in the back of the park, walking up and down the old driveways and he likes to scare people at night by appearing behind them and whispering something. Then he would disappear when they turn around. My friends and I have seen him in the early morning while walking to the bus stop and we also see him on the grounds of the bus stop too. The Indians have been reported in houses too. Longview - Monticello Middle School - Legend has it that while this school was being built, a young girl died. She took cookies to the workers often, but was victim to a terrible fate one day when she fell in an area of freshly poured cement. Her ghost has been seen wandering the halls of the school at night, humming a tune. The girl’s footsteps have been heard as well.
