1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to Haunted Road, a production of I Heart Radio 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: and Grim and Mild from Aaron Minky listener Discretion is advised. 3 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: In two thousand and six, a visitor to Laurel Grove 4 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 1: Cemetery in Port Towns in Washington noticed something strange. The 5 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: tomb of Charles Eisenbeis and his first wife Elizabeth was open. 6 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: It had cracked and the stone fell into the burial vault, 7 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 1: leaving it wide open to the elements, and a startling 8 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,840 Speaker 1: discovery was made inside. You see, in March nineteen o two, 9 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 1: when Charles Eisenbeis died, he was a prominent figure in 10 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: the community. As such, the whole town turned out to 11 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,919 Speaker 1: see his casket carried down the steps into the subterranean 12 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,480 Speaker 1: vault and placed next to the coffin of his first 13 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: wife after the vault was sealed. And that was that 14 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: until two thousand six, because when the family went to 15 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: investigate reports of this broken vault, they found the stone 16 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: had fallen in such a way that it flipped over 17 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,839 Speaker 1: Elizabeth's coffin and shattered the Victorian viewing glass on the top, 18 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: but it also smashed the coffin of a child. This 19 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 1: small coffin had been sitting atop Charles's casket, a small 20 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: coffin that certainly had not been there in nineteen o two. 21 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: Descendants of Charles and Elizabeth have no idea who this 22 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: child is, and the identity of the child remains a 23 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 1: mystery to this day. But at Manresa Castle in Port Townsend, 24 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: a castle that Eisenbeis himself built, there have long been 25 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: reports of the ghost of a child playing and giggling 26 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: within its walls, though no child has been recorded as 27 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: having died. There sounds like the perfect place for us 28 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: to explore, shall we. I'm Amy Bruney, and this is 29 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: haunted Roe. On July tenth, eighteen thirty two, Charles Eisenbeis 30 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: was born. We share a birthday. Well. I wasn't born 31 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: in eighteen thirty two, clearly, but sometimes I feel like 32 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 1: I was. His parents were Johann George Valentin Eisenbeis and 33 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: Katherine Crone of nun Kirschen's Saarland, Germany before it was Germany. 34 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: Of course, his ancestry is noted as Prussian. He was 35 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: the third of many children and was preceded by an 36 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: eldest sister and his brother Frederick. His very close companion. 37 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: They were a family of millers. When Charles was twenty four, 38 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: he and Frederick set off for America. They settled in Rochester, 39 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: New York in eighteen fifty six. Two years later they 40 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: were attracted to California and landed at San Francisco. Soon afterward, 41 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: they came north, Frederick starting a bakery in style of 42 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: whom while Charles embarked on the same business in Port Townsend. 43 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: In fact, Charles did very well. He prospered and eventually 44 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: became a leading member of the group of five five 45 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: residents who dominated Port Townsend's economy. Charles acquired much of 46 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: his wealth by supplying bread and crackers two ships and 47 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 1: sailors who stopped at Port Townsend to restock their foodstuffs 48 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: for their next voyage. Charles married his first wife, Elizabeth Bargamer, 49 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: in eighteen sixty five. They had four children, Charles Jr. Frederick, Sophia, 50 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: and Louise. In eighty two, Elizabeth died. Charles remarried within 51 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: a year of Elizabeth's death, this time to young Catherine 52 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Marsh. They also had four children, bringing the Eisenbeiss 53 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: total to eight. Lillian, Otto, Hilda, and Josephine. In its 54 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: early years, Port Townsend, Washington benefited from the business acumen 55 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: of Charles, who was quite a jack of all trades. 56 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: He found himself in baking, brickmaking, lumber milling, brewing, banking, 57 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: and had some role in a hotel as well. In 58 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: eighteen seventy eight, when Port Townsend became the first incorporated 59 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: city in Jefferson County, its citizens elected Eisenbeis as the 60 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: first mayor. Port Townsend held a lot of promise for 61 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: Charles and his contemporaries city leaders. Banking that the railroad 62 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: would terminate at the seaport spurred a development boom that 63 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: raised most of the buildings that today make up the 64 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: downtown and uptown corps, as well as many of the homes. 65 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: And that hopeful boom of the early eighteen nineties, Charles 66 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: embarked on a new effort to construct a marvelous home 67 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: for his family, a home that would be known as 68 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: Eisenbei's Castle. Having a mass of fortune in several businesses, 69 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,679 Speaker 1: including the manufacture of bricks, lumber, and banking, Eisenbeis built 70 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 1: the largest private residence in town using bricks from his 71 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: own factory. Twenty five thousand bricks were used to construct 72 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: the home. The bricks came from his own brickwork. Tiled 73 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: fireplaces and finely crafted woodwork were installed by German artisans. 74 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: The home boasted thirty rooms spread out over four floors. 75 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: Taking one look at the exterior, it's easy to believe 76 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: that Charles had the home designed and the style of 77 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: Prussian architecture. Located at six five one Cleveland Street in 78 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: Port Towns in Washington, now, Manresa Castle has bluff top 79 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: views of the Puget Sound. However, the hopes of Port 80 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: Townsend's leaders did not pan out. The railroad didn't make it. 81 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: Rail lines ended on the east side of Puget Sound, 82 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: and then a nationwide depression hit in eighteen ninety three, 83 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: triggering significant fall out in the region. As the city's 84 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: glory waned, things got tough for some. One of the 85 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: victims of the downturn was Charles Junior. As one of 86 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: the local papers put it, it was reported as he 87 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: was missed from his place of business at nine o'clock 88 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: this morning, and although a search was instituted immediately, it 89 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: was not until nine o'clock tonight that his body was 90 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: found lying on the ground underneath the Mount Baker Block 91 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: owned by his father. The Mount Baker Block building was 92 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: and is still in the busiest part of Port Townsend's 93 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: downtown district, but no one heard the fatal report of 94 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: Charles's pistol. Charles's wife, Natalia Selma phillips Iisendvice, survived him, 95 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: as did their young daughter dar Latta. His closest friend 96 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 1: was a judge named j. A. Coon, who wasn't surprised 97 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: by the news, which, as he said, was the result 98 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: of several months despondency. In nineteen o two, Charles died 99 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: at the age of seventy. Charles's death was due to 100 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 1: Bright's disease. It's not clear if he died in the 101 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: castle or at a hospital. Charles's death was a curious coincidence, 102 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: though Frederick seventy had expired nearly at the same moment 103 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: as Charles. When a member of the family of Charles 104 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: Eisenbis was in the telegraph office sending news of the 105 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: death of Charles, he received a message announcing the death 106 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: of his brother fe Eisenbis. After Charles's death in nineteen 107 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: o two, Kate stayed in the house until nineteen o six, 108 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: when she remarried. At that point, the castle remained empty 109 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: for almost twenty years, looked after by a single caretaker. 110 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: In nineteen according to Manresa Castle's website, a Seattle attorney 111 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: bought the castle as a vacation place for nuns teaching 112 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: in Seattle schools. This plan did not work out well, 113 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: and in nineteen seven the Jesuit Priests purchased the building 114 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: for use as a training college. The priests spent their 115 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: sixteenth and final year of training here, studying ascetic theology. 116 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: In nineteen twenty eight, the Jesuits added a large wing 117 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: housing a chapel and sleeping rooms. They also installed the 118 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: elevator an otis, at a cost of thirty four hundred dollars, 119 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: a substantial sum in those days. As when their addition 120 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: was complete the Jesuits this hurts my heart. The Jesuits 121 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: stuck out over the bricks of the original portion to 122 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: give the building a more uniform look. They named the 123 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: complex Manresa Hall, after the town in Spain where Ignatius 124 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: Loyola founded the order. The Jesuits left in nineteen sixty 125 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: eight and the building was converted into a hotel. The 126 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: elements of Manresa and Castle were taken from the two 127 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: previous owners to create the current name. As with any 128 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: large spooky castle, there's lots of lore surrounding Manresa, and 129 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: that includes many, many unverifiable stories. One such is reported 130 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: by investigator and author Jeff Dwyer. Although this rumor is 131 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: connected to a bartender in the nineteen nineties, the story 132 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 1: is set in nineteen twenty one, when an english woman 133 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: named Kate allegedly arrived at Manresa Castle. The rumored spirit 134 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: who isn't Charles's wife but a guest who spent several 135 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: months in Room three oh six after Charles's death, She 136 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: supposedly received news that her bow had perished while on 137 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: a ship out to sea. Grieving, she died by suicide 138 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: when she jumped from the window of Room three oh six. 139 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: Apparently her information was wrong, though the ship carrying her 140 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: lover had indeed sunk, but he had survived and was 141 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: rescued by a passing vessel. In order to get Kate's attention, 142 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: Dwyer used some less than traditional tactics. According to his book, 143 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: he says he made derogatory accusations, insults, and challenges, all 144 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 1: built around words that could not be included in this book. 145 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: He says the spirit named Kate was reportedly very angry 146 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: and very active, sharing with Dwyer that she was not 147 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: faithful to her fiance while he was on the long 148 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: and fateful voyage to Alaska, resulting in pregnancy. After news 149 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: of his ship sinking, she mourned for weeks until she 150 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: received news that he had been rescued and was en route. 151 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: This catalyzed the decision to jump from the window. Again, 152 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: absolutely none of this is documented or substantiated, so if 153 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: anyone finds record of this, please let me know. But 154 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: I have looked pretty extensively, and let's not go after 155 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: Jeff Dwyer though, since I don't know him, but I 156 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,439 Speaker 1: know how many of my listeners hate the idea of 157 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: any spirit being provoked. So maybe we can use this 158 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: interest in Manresa to get the story correct and the 159 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: history correct back to it. Apparently, the spirit attributed to 160 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 1: this Kate, is often seen in room three oh six. 161 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: She has long, dark hair and wait for it, a 162 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: white gown. She's spotted by the window where she supposedly jumped. 163 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: Kate seems to be mischievous and messes up belongings that 164 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: guests have organized. She'll sit on beds when people are 165 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: in them, and there are reports that her singing emanates 166 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 1: from the bathroom overnight. Now again, Jeff Dwyer claims that 167 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: a young Jesuit died by suicide in the attic in 168 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: early nineteen thirties after rumors about his relationship with the 169 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: nun began circulating. Often, third floor guests report hearing a 170 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: rope stretching and the beams groaning, as if a body 171 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 1: is swinging in the darkness of the huge attic. I 172 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 1: have found no trace or whisper of verification for the story. 173 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: Another source attributes the event and haunting to the attic 174 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: space that's just above room three O two. The claim 175 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: that a priest died by hanging in the attic space 176 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: above room three O two seems to be traced to 177 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 1: father John Alden Murphy, who drowned in the Puget Sound 178 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: on September two, ninette. In a clipping from the San 179 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: Francisco Examiner from August thirty one, nineteen forty three, we 180 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 1: learned that father John Alden Murphy likely drowned while swimming 181 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: in the Puget Sound near Port Townsend. The thirty three 182 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: year old teacher worked at Saint Ignatious High School in 183 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: San Francisco, but had been taking special studies at Manreesa Hall. 184 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 1: After he didn't return to Manresa, a search began in 185 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: his clothes were found in a pile on the beach. 186 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 1: So let's talk the hauntings. Obviously, Manreisa is haunted, or 187 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: we wouldn't be talking about it. But it's difficult to 188 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: pin down who could be haunting it exactly since there 189 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: are no verified deaths or traumatic events attached to it. 190 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: Although I do want to point out the mysterious coffin 191 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: appearance in Charles's vault we talked about in the beginning, 192 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: because if there was ever a cause for a ghost 193 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: to be hanging around, I'd say that's a pretty good one. 194 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: Activity wise, the doors are known to open and close 195 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: without anyone around. Rooms three O two, three oh four, 196 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: and three oh six are supposed to be the most haunted. 197 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: Daniel Demy referenced an article by James Barnett from two 198 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: thousand four, where the latter dated stories of hauntings at 199 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: Manresa Castle to a bartender's imaginative storytelling in the early 200 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: to mid nineteen nineties. DeMay is a Port Townsend local 201 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: and his father was a housekeeper at Manresa Castle in 202 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 1: the late seventies. His father told him that while wrapping 203 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: up in Room three oh six, a key ring he 204 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: placed on a dresser floated in midair about eighteen inches 205 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: off the wood top. As he stared at it, the 206 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: ring crashed down on the table with a clatter. In 207 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: the front desk manager Kimberly Smith told a journalist that 208 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,719 Speaker 1: although the latest owners don't play up the paranormal as 209 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: much as previous ones have, they have received accounts of 210 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: a sad unseen violinist that's a new him, as well 211 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: as a giggling child and a woman named Natalie. The 212 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: dining room is supposedly haunted by Kate eisenbeis Charles's wife. 213 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: She is seen sitting in the dining room in a 214 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 1: long Victorian gown. An e v P of a female 215 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: spirit has also been captured in that space speaking German. 216 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: What's now the banquet hall was the Jesuits Chapel. Glasses 217 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: that have been properly placed on tables are found upside down, 218 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: and sometimes they will be shattered with no explanation. Staff 219 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: members have also reported feeling watched in this space, but 220 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: don't take it from me. We're going to shift gears 221 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: here a bit. Usually we speak with someone who has 222 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: investigated a location, but we're actually about to speak with 223 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: the night front desk agent. Amber Don is her name, 224 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: and she spends just about every night, sometimes very alone 225 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: in the heart of Manresa Castle. And to say she 226 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: has some stories is putting it lightly. So stay with us. 227 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: We'll chat with Amberdon after this. I am sitting here 228 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: now with amber Don, who is the front desk staff 229 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: at Manresa Castle. And what's interesting is she works the 230 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: night shift. So normally we're chatting with paranormal investigators or 231 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: teams who have investigated, but I think amber Don is 232 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: in the thick of it at Manresa and she's got 233 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: some stories to tell when she's say, oh, yes, was 234 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: definitely here. I love that you picked the night shift 235 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: on purpose because you wanted to experience the ghosts at 236 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: the castle. Like what drew you to Manresa in the 237 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: first place. Well, honestly, Um, I was working for another 238 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: company for about six years and um we used to 239 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: have our annual Christmas party here and I always thought 240 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: that it was a really neat place just because of 241 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: the history. And that was before I knew that it 242 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: was so incredibly haunted. And I'm a huge fan of 243 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: the paranormal and like a horror movie fanatic, but I've 244 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: never actually experienced anything until I came here at work. Well, 245 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: I mean, I will start this off by sharing a 246 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: quick well it's not really quick, but a story that 247 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: I have at Manresa that just kind of sticks out 248 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: for me. So Manresa Castle was the site of the 249 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: very first Strange Escapes event. I own a company called 250 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 1: Strange Escapes, where we take people on haunted tours all 251 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: over the world, and Manresa was our first one. I 252 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: think we did it two or three years in a row, 253 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: and it was conducive. An environment is very conducive to 254 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: that because it's very intimate, like there's forty rooms, but 255 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: there is this kind of meeting space downstairs, and it's 256 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: just gorgeous. It's in close proximity to downtown. Anyway, I 257 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: digress as usual. I was there one year and I 258 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: had brought my daughter, who I believe she was about 259 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: three at the time, and I brought my sister with 260 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: me to help me take care of my daughter, Charlotte, 261 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: and Charlotte got very sick. Um she was running a 262 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: crazy fever. She was throwing up all night like. It 263 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 1: was incredibly stressful. We ended up having to take her too. 264 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: There's like a either an ear or an urgent care, 265 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: like almost across the street from Manresa. We took her 266 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: there and they were able to give her some like 267 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: meds and everything, but she was just out of it 268 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: that whole trip. And this event was all adults. There's 269 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: forty rooms. At that time. Kids weren't coming to these yet. 270 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: And I'll never forget there was one morning I went 271 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: down to breakfast and I saw buch of women there 272 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: and they were, you know, having coffee and whatnot, and 273 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: they said Charlotte sher was having fun this morning. And 274 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: I was like, what are you talking about? And they 275 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: were like, we heard her just giggling away and running 276 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: up and down the hallway at like six thirty this morning. 277 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 1: Can't believe you woke up that early. And these were 278 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: a number of people who were staying in different rooms 279 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: where they had come together. And I was like, no, 280 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: Charlotte has been throwing up all night and been fast 281 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 1: asleep all morning. She's definitely not playing. But they had 282 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: heard a child running up and down the hallway and 283 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: giggling and there were definitely no kids present. So is 284 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 1: that something that you have heard of before happening there? Oh? Yes, 285 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: Actually when I very first started the front desk, and 286 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: also the housekeepers told me that when it was real, 287 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: real quiet, and there was like maybe one or two 288 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: rooms you know that had people in a through the 289 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 1: whole entire building, they would consistently hear children running up 290 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: and down the hallways and giggling and thing, you know, 291 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 1: and they would go out there and there's absolutely nobody around, 292 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: and they knew for a fact out of those two 293 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: rooms that were in the building that there was no 294 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: children at present whatsoever. There is said to be a 295 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: little girl right around nine or ten years old that's 296 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: supposed to be frequently here, and some of the kitchen 297 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: staff and our restaurant have seen her right on that 298 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: end of the castle down by the restaurant is supposed 299 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: to be the most original part of the castle where 300 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: the front desk sits in like that on And I've 301 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: actually personally seen that little world during a power outage 302 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: one time, because I thought, you know, when I very 303 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: first got here and I was like, ah, you know, 304 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: what's the hyball about? Is this place really haunted. But 305 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: even though I had heard a couple of experiences from guests, 306 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: but you know, nothing had happened to me yet. And 307 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 1: we had this power outage and it stayed off for 308 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: probably about two and a half hours, and there's no 309 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 1: you know, burning of candles of any kind in our 310 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: rooms or anything like that. And so I was, believe 311 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: it or not, out and about handing out blow sticks 312 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: and I'm whatever on the third floor. Yes, now, I 313 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: mean now with the lights off in this place, boy, 314 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 1: oh boy, does it add some allbance to the place. Yes, Iran, 315 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: I was. Yeah, I was up on the third floor, 316 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 1: and at the corner of my eye, I thought I'd 317 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,360 Speaker 1: seen somebody standing down in the middle of the hallway 318 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: and down by the attic stairs. And as I shined 319 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: my flashlight down there, I've seen a little girl just 320 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 1: kind of dart around the corner, and I've seen probably 321 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: you know, a couple of inches of her dress go 322 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: around the corner. And when I walked down there and 323 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: I was like hello, and I knew that there wasn't 324 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: any kids up on the floor that I had personally 325 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 1: checked in, So you know, it was very very interesting 326 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: and probably about a week or so later, this lady 327 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: comes to stay and she it was a birthday gift 328 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 1: to herself. And she'd stay in like for probably about 329 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 1: nine days in three oh six, which is supposedly yes, 330 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:59,119 Speaker 1: where the innkeeper jumped out the window at and she 331 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: told me, you know, and she was like medium and 332 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: she was really really sensitive to energies and she could 333 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: converse a little bit with the spirits. And I had 334 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 1: not told her anything whatsoever about this little girl about 335 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: seeing this spirit. And she comes down a couple of 336 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: days later and tells me that she's experiencing somebody going 337 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: through her belongings at about three or so ish in 338 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: the morning. And so she finally asked, you know, it 339 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:25,719 Speaker 1: went on for a couple of days in a row. 340 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: So she finally asked and reached out to the spirit, 341 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: you know, who are you and what do you want? 342 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: Why do you keep waking me up? And this little 343 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: girl proudly announces that it was her tenth birthday and 344 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: then she was looking for a birthday gift. And so 345 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: after that happened, it immediately clicked in my head. I 346 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: was like, oh my, that was definitely the spirit of 347 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: a little girl that I see, because she was right 348 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: around nine or ten years old, and she was wearing 349 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: a very very old style little dress, and so it 350 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: was just very very odd, you know. I mean, it 351 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 1: is very odd just because when you go through the 352 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: history of Manresa, there are not really any deaths tied 353 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: to it. There was one priest who drowned. There was 354 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: a very big rumor that someone had taken his own 355 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: life at some point in the building, but no one's 356 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 1: been able to find record of that. But they think 357 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: it might be some confusion because there was a priest 358 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: who did drown about that time, but that's the only 359 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 1: death people can seem to tie to the building with records. 360 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,719 Speaker 1: So what do you think is going on here? Why 361 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: do you think there's all these other spirits that people 362 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: report there? Well, I was lucky enough to meet this 363 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: young lady that she had bought in the book off 364 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: of Amazon and had the whole entire history of Manresa, 365 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: as well as going a little bit deeper into the 366 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 1: ghost side of it. And this little girl is believed 367 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: to be Ice and Vice's meets okay, and I guess 368 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 1: apparently there was also a mysterious body of a child 369 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: that was found in their crip too. That's what I 370 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 1: was gonna say. There was a coffin because something happened 371 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: with their Their coffin was glass and it broke, and 372 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 1: so when they noticed this, they went in and they 373 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,479 Speaker 1: found the grave of a child that no one had 374 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: known of, and even the descendants weren't sure who this 375 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: person was. You know, it's funny that you were talking 376 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: about the rearranging of things, because I do remember when 377 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: we were there that a number of our guests were 378 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: reporting that they would come back to their room and 379 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: things were moved or things were put away. Does that 380 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: happen a lot, Yes, And I've had it happened to 381 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: me several times back when I very first started. That's 382 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 1: kind of it was almost like a snowball effect. You know. 383 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 1: It started with a little fickering lights here and there, 384 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: and then odd things like I would come back to 385 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: my office at night and I know that I'm the 386 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: only one that's on shift, no main its person, nobody 387 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: else has a key that gets in that of the office. 388 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 1: In my office like to be all off. And speaking 389 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: of things being moved around, one time I actually came 390 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 1: in here and my keys, I had my register or 391 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: Keith sitting here. And I mean I searched this whole 392 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 1: entire office high and well, could not find them anywhere. 393 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: Walked around the corner where we keep all of our 394 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 1: soaps and stuff, and there they were, tucked like almost 395 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: in behind a cabin. Now, have you had anybody just 396 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 1: kind of get fed up or scared and just leave 397 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: in the middle of the night. Since I've been here, 398 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: there was only one instance that I remember. Some folks 399 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: they had checked in rather late at night, It was 400 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,719 Speaker 1: probably maybe about eight or nine o'clock, and by midnight 401 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 1: they were gone. They turned in their keys and said, nope, 402 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 1: we can't do it. Ohn or they in three oh 403 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: six or somewhere else. They were actually in three oh two, 404 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: which is the one that sits right below where the 405 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 1: munk hung itself. So tell me about three oh six, 406 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: because that that why is that room so notorious. Three 407 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 1: oh six is supposed to be where Kate, the innkeeper 408 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: had jumped out the window at okay, and the story 409 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: that surrounds that is her husband. He left this place 410 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: sit empty for probably about his wife ended up remarrying, 411 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: and she left it sit empty for probably about twenty 412 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 1: some odd years. I remember. Yeah, there was, yeah, and 413 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: she had had a fiance that went out to see 414 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: and she was told that he had died out the sea, 415 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: and so she of course was convinced she was never 416 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,199 Speaker 1: ever going to find another love until she jumped out 417 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: the window and he came home. So it's kind of 418 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: like this tragic love story. And the most accounts that 419 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: I honestly get from that room people report a woman crying. Interesting, yes, 420 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: and ironically people have heard a baby crying in there 421 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, it's not rare for us to go 422 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 1: into places that have a lot of reported activity that 423 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily match up with the history, or are things 424 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: that we can't find in the history. Like for as 425 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: long as Manresa has existed, there's probably a number of 426 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: things that have happened there over the years that we 427 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: don't know about. But I do just love kind of 428 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: the lore surrounding the building, whether or not we can 429 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: verify it, and regardless of whether we can verify the history, 430 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 1: it's haunted, like I can vouch for that. So honestly, 431 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: you know, the few mediums that I have talked to, 432 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: they kind of feel like it's more of like a 433 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: crossroads or maybe a portal where thousands of spirits just 434 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: kind of float on through and maybe there's something that 435 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: draws them here. So I've also heard that side of it, too, right, 436 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I've heard, but maybe it's not just the 437 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: spirits that we've been told about, you know, the few 438 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: stories that we've been told about that are here. You know, 439 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: there's maybe other spirits that come on through. So that 440 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 1: being said, now, have you ever been truly fearful there? 441 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: Have you ever been truly scared at any point? There 442 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 1: was only one time that it actually got me and 443 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: sent chills down my spot. It was a couple of months, 444 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 1: and I'd only been here for maybe about four months 445 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,880 Speaker 1: or so. I had just walked up everything for the night. 446 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: It was probably about quarter to eleven or so, and 447 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: it was on a Monday night, which is the only 448 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: night of the week that our restaurant and our lounges 449 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: are closed, so it was really really quiet, not many 450 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: people in the building. I didn't have me guests that night, 451 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: and I was on my way out the back and 452 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 1: as you walk down the hallway and you turn off 453 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: all the lights, there's this one little spot back there 454 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: that you kind of have to walk a couple of 455 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: feet before the automatic lights kick in and I had 456 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 1: just turned them off, and it was so dark back there, 457 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: I couldn't even see my own hand in front of 458 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: my face. And this female voice, almost in a whisper, 459 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 1: just said hello into my ear girlfriend when I say, 460 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: I ran out that door. So I guess it wasn't 461 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: the fact that I was really scared. I guess it 462 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: just kind of caught me off guard. You know, It's 463 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: like my fight or flight kicked in. I was like, 464 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 1: ohm out. Well, that's just so. As someone who does 465 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 1: this a lot and it has experienced money to smbodied voices, 466 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: they continue to be one of the scariest bit a 467 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: phenomena of me because you're you hear a voice come 468 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 1: from thin air where a mouth would be if someone 469 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: was standing there, but no one is there, and your 470 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: body it's that instinct of like something is wrong, and 471 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 1: you do like you have to stop yourself because your 472 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: instincts kick in, whether or not you're like a big, bad, 473 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: brave ghost hunter like I am, clearly, but you who 474 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,160 Speaker 1: do have this kind of like I want to run 475 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 1: away right now? Yeah, that probably would have gotten to me. 476 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: I mean, she was saying hi, but she probably could 477 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: have picked a more opportune moment. Yes, so you know. 478 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to make friends, you should 479 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 1: probably not sneak up in them, on them in the dark, 480 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: right exactly? How is the pandemic affected things? Are things 481 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: slower or things picking back up? Like? How is business? 482 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: Is it affecting the haunting? I mean during this timing year, 483 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 1: it's it's slow anyhow. This summer we actually were, We 484 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: were full, full, full all the time, and especially on weekends, 485 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: you know, which is more common. But we had quite 486 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: a few people during week as well, so it looks 487 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 1: pretty busy. Well that's good. I do feel like a 488 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: lot of people are doing a lot of domestic travel 489 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 1: right now. And I live in a tourist town. I 490 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,719 Speaker 1: live in Newport, Rhode Island, and the last two summers 491 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: have been some of the busiest times I've ever experienced here, 492 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: and I think it's because people didn't really want to 493 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: go anywhere else. But what is it like there in 494 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,880 Speaker 1: the winter when it's slow, what's the vibe? Oh, it's 495 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:35,360 Speaker 1: so slow and so quiet. I find, honestly that I've 496 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: had more things, more experiences, and more feelings in here 497 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: of the paranormal activity, just because there's been some nights 498 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: where there's been absolutely nobody in the building of me, 499 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: and so that's very interesting vibe as well. That's an 500 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: eerie feeling, you know. You know, there's just all these 501 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: empty rooms basically just here to answer phones, you know, 502 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: and there's nobody staying in any of the rooms. Have 503 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: not got no check ins. And yeah, there was a 504 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: couple of times where I decided, you know, to just 505 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: get up and kind of do my own spiritual adventure 506 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: and just go ghost hunting myself. And oh yeah, I've 507 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: had I've had quite a few things happen, like radios 508 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: come on all by themselves, clocks working when they're supposed 509 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: to be broken. Oh yeah, yeah, that sounds fun to me. 510 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: I feel like that's it's a blast. I absolutely love 511 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: working here. It's like you need to get pe to 512 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: do this, really, I do know. So Okay, so when 513 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: we first had Strange Escapes at Manresa, they were very 514 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: open about their ghosts and the paral activity. They were 515 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: thrilled to have us. I think they've changed hands since 516 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: the only reason we have not been back was not 517 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: because of anything other than the journey for us was 518 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: really difficult. Getting all of my speakers all the way there. 519 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: But we loved it, and I'm sure we'll go back 520 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: in the future. But how are the current owners? How 521 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: are they? Are they open to their haunts? Do they 522 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: welcome people coming in and being curious about the paranormal? 523 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: Oh very much so. We a lot of times encourage that. 524 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 1: I see people come through that bring thousands of dollars 525 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 1: in equipment to do little ghost hunts and and that's 526 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: one thing that's wonderful about being the nighttime person and 527 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: being by myself is I get to participate and take 528 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: them places like the attic and them and kind of 529 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: do investigations with them. I've been that several times. But yeah, 530 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: we definitely encourage people to walk around after hours and 531 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: see what they can find. Yeah, you know, my favorite 532 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: time to go to haunted places is really the off season, 533 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: and it's just because that's when you can really fully 534 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: experience it, like it's obviously fun and beautiful. I'm sure 535 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: to go to Port towns End in the summer, but 536 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: my favorite time to go to places like that is 537 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: when nobody else is there. And so I guess that's 538 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: you know, that's why us paranormal investigators are good for business, hey, right, 539 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what I do want to if you 540 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: want the full experience, come during the off season, or 541 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: come during the week um, you know, like Monday through Thursday, 542 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: you know, instead of on the weekends, because I feel 543 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: like people don't get nearly as much of a reaction 544 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: from the spirits when there's a bunches and bunches of 545 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 1: people in the building. And also they add an additional 546 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: bar too, so we have now two lounges in a restaurant, 547 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: so there's tons of people around, and I feel like 548 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:22,320 Speaker 1: people don't get as much paranormal activity as when it's quiet, right, 549 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I've learned. I think sometimes it's actually happening, 550 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: you just can't tell as often when there's people all 551 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: around you and it's busy and you're not as contume 552 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: looking for it. For sae, you might not know. You 553 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: could literally have a ghost sitting right next to you 554 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: and you wouldn't know at that point, you know. So 555 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,479 Speaker 1: I always tell businesses who have paranormal activity. I remind 556 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 1: them that a paranoral investigators like to go during the 557 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,880 Speaker 1: slow season and be they want to come in and 558 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: sit in the dark and be as quiet as possible. 559 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: So they're literally the best customers you can have. Oh yeah, definitely. 560 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you know when it's really quiet and versus 561 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: when it's busy in here. Um, there's a cloth that 562 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: sits on our wall in the lobby and I was 563 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: told that it has to have the double keys to 564 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: wind it up. Well, the keys have been missing for years, 565 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: So this clock has been broken for years. And the 566 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 1: girl that trained she had been here for probably about 567 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: two years, and she's now the office manager. And she 568 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 1: actually had a film of the hands movie and that 569 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: was back when I very first started, you know, so 570 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: I was like, okay, you know, I think you're just 571 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: trying to scare me. Well, this one particular night, like 572 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: I said, all the other times, you know, it's been 573 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: real quiet. Well this night they had a jazz band 574 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: playing and some kind of ballgame or something taking down 575 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: on you know, downstairs in the bar, so it was 576 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 1: fairly loud, and all of the sudden, the pendulum started 577 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: swinging on the clock and it chimed three times. And 578 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: that was the one and only experience that I've had 579 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: that there's been a lot of people around, and of 580 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: course there wasn't anybody in the lobby to see it, 581 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: so it made me look like I was totally crazy pants. 582 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: But wouldn't you know, it shocked me so bad I 583 00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: didn't even think to get my cell phone out. So 584 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: now you know, of the group is a big joke 585 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 1: around here. The crew is like, sure, Ambergon, sure that happens. 586 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: I believe you. It's actually pretty We experience a lot 587 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: where activity spikes either during or after things have been 588 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: you know, jumping in some of these places, you know, 589 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 1: like Adam and I have actually brought in on Kindred Spirits. 590 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: We've actually brought in a band before to kind of 591 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 1: get the energy up into some of these because they 592 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 1: would say that they'd be closing at night and all 593 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: of this activity would happen, but you know, we would 594 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: be there for days with no one there, and so 595 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: we'd bring in a band to kind of get that 596 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: energy level up again. And it works. So yeah, I 597 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 1: would keep an eye on that, you know, like really 598 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 1: busy nights. I think that the spirit world feels that too. 599 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: They get excited and more active. I do too, And 600 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: being the fact that this used to be their home, 601 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: I personally view it as you know, they're excited that 602 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: we're bringing their place back to life, you know. More 603 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: or less, That's kind of how I feel about it, 604 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 1: because even during that same power outage, I had one 605 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 1: um like, now, there's eight light bulbs in this shandelier 606 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: that sits above in our lobby. And during that same 607 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: power outage that I'd seen the little girl, there was 608 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,840 Speaker 1: one light bulb that stayed on the full two and 609 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 1: a half hours, even though the rest of the entire 610 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 1: castle did not have one smable light on. And I 611 00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: seen that, as you know, what are the odds that 612 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: they would leave nothing but the entrance light on. It 613 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 1: was kind of like, welcome to my home. You know. 614 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 1: That's kind of how I feel too, because it seems 615 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 1: like whenever it's busier, I feel like it kicks up 616 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,719 Speaker 1: that spiritual activity almost like they're excited. Hey people, you know, 617 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 1: we're bringing their place back to life. I believe that, 618 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,879 Speaker 1: and I know that the last like three or four 619 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 1: owners have been very dedicated to kind of keeping it 620 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: the way it is, you know, being true to its 621 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 1: roots and not doing any crazy renovations or anything. Like 622 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,280 Speaker 1: you do walk in and you feel like you're taking 623 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: a step back in time. And it's gorgeous and the 624 00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: energy is just fabulous. Like I, I love it, and 625 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: I'm incredibly jealous of your job. But particular owner that 626 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: I worked for, he's had the place for probably about 627 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 1: six years, and I watched him put a brand new 628 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 1: paige job on the place and they just redid the 629 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: groove and now he's working on an accent wall up 630 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: on the second and third floor in the hallway and 631 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 1: also adding some additional antique furniture to the rooms and 632 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,800 Speaker 1: just bringing the place back to life. It's just wonderful. 633 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,319 Speaker 1: I feel very lucky to work here and actually see 634 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: that taking place. That's wonderful to hear, and I'm thrilled 635 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 1: It's it's been a while since I visited. I want 636 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,879 Speaker 1: to get back again. So if people want to visit Manresa, 637 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 1: is there a website they can go to any tips 638 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,359 Speaker 1: or tricks or times you think they should visit. Um, Yeah, 639 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: they're more the welcome to go to our Manresa Castle 640 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 1: dot com or we also have the Castle dot com 641 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 1: as well, which is a little bit more of the 642 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,839 Speaker 1: restaurant and the lounge side of it, and they can 643 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,880 Speaker 1: see what kind of live events we've got going on. 644 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: Throughout the months. I think it goes like three months out. 645 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 1: And also recently they've been rolling out some wedding packages too, 646 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: so if anybody wants to have a wedding here and whatnot. 647 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,920 Speaker 1: So yeah, they're doing all kinds of stuff to bring 648 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,800 Speaker 1: the place back to life. I love that well. Ghosts aside, 649 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 1: Man Raise is just a beautiful place to visit. Port 650 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 1: Townsend is a great little town and it's well worth 651 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: the trip. So I recommend it to everyone, and so 652 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,839 Speaker 1: go check it out. Yes, say hi to Amber Dawn. 653 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,280 Speaker 1: She'll be there in the middle of the night waiting 654 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:38,400 Speaker 1: for you. And I got lots and lots of stories 655 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: to tell. I love it well. Thank you so much 656 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: for joining me. I super appreciate you taking the time. 657 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 1: You've been lovely. It's been my pleasure. I probably sound 658 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 1: like a broken record when I talk about how important 659 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,720 Speaker 1: getting accurate history is when it comes to a haunting, 660 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,360 Speaker 1: but I don't think the paranormal field or even me 661 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 1: had this priority. In the past, we would walk into 662 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 1: buildings and take every word of lore someone in this case, 663 00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:12,279 Speaker 1: apparently a bartender, passed on to us as gospel, and 664 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,759 Speaker 1: we'd roll with it. Thankfully. Man Teresa seems like a 665 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 1: very peaceful haunt whoever is there. But I challenge you 666 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 1: to do some extra digging, not just on Manresa, but 667 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 1: any potentially haunted location.

Inside lies the body 674 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:52,040 Speaker 1: of an unidentified child, and they may just need a 675 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 1: bit of our love. Plus, that's a mystery I'm and 676 00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure now you are very compelled to solve. Until 677 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,640 Speaker 1: next time.
