Echoes in the Graveyard: Hauntings of the Pacific Northwest

This Halloween, we’re walking where the dead don’t sleep.

From the misty shores of British Columbia to the rain-soaked cemeteries of Oregon, we’re uncovering the stories buried beneath the moss — and the spirits who never quite left.


Join us as we visit the haunted graveyards of the Pacific Northwest — where miners still wander, lanterns still flicker, and the past still breathes.


New episode out now: Echoes in the Graveyard — our Halloween special from Mysterious Pacific Northwest.

 Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your hauntings.

Mysterious Pacific Northwest
Jack of the Lantern: From Irish Curse to Halloween Icon

Long before pumpkins lit American porches, eerie turnips glowed across Irish hillsides, carved to ward off spirits during Samhain and inspired by the legend of Stingy Jack, the trickster doomed to wander the Earth with a single ember from Hell. As Irish immigrants brought the tradition to America, they found the pumpkin—larger, softer, and perfectly suited for carving—and the Jack-O’-Lantern was reborn. Over centuries, this symbol of fear transformed into one of community, harvest, and Halloween cheer, its flickering light carrying echoes of ancient superstition beneath its modern smile. Even today, every glowing pumpkin honors the ghostly traveler whose cursed light first shone across the Irish bogs.

Mysterious Pacific Northwest
The Seattle Demon House

It started with a single cough echoing from an empty room.

Then the Bibles burned, the crosses fell, and the walls began to whisper his name.


In 2012, a quiet Bothell home became the center of one of the most disturbing hauntings in modern history — a case that would divide believers, skeptics, and investigators around the world.


This week on Mysterious Pacific Northwest, we step inside The Seattle Demon House — where faith met fire, and something unholy refused to leave.


New episode out now.

Mysterious Pacific Northwest
Manresa Castle: Where History Refuses to Sleep

Step inside Manresa Castle in Port Townsend, Washington—a place where history and hauntings blur together. Built in 1892 by Charles Eisenbeis, the town’s first mayor, the castle has lived many lives: a grand family home, a Jesuit monastery, and now a hotel. Along the way, it has gathered stories of lingering spirits: a grieving woman said to have leapt from Room 306, a monk whose footsteps echo in the attic above Room 302, and even playful presences tugging at shoes or turning glasses upside down. Blending Port Townsend’s colorful boomtown past with chilling firsthand encounters, this episode wanders through foggy streets, creaking corridors, and candlelit legends to ask—who still calls the castle home when the lights go out?Manresa Castle:

Mysterious Pacific Northwest
Bonus: The Littlest Landmarks in the Pacific Northwest

In this episode, we explore some of the Pacific Northwest’s smallest and most remarkable landmarks. From Portland’s Mill Ends Park—the world’s smallest park, famously home to a colony of leprechauns—to Washington’s Ranald MacDonald’s Grave State Park Heritage Site, a humble plot of land honoring the first English teacher in Japan, and Oregon’s Cape Meares Lighthouse, the shortest lighthouse on the Oregon coast, yet rich in history and innovation.

Though these sites may be small in size, each carries a deep cultural, historical, or whimsical significance. Join us as we uncover the stories behind these tiny spaces, the people who shaped them, and the ways they continue to capture the imagination and pride of the Pacific Northwest.

Whispers of Odell Pioneer Cemetary

Deep in the Willamette Valley, hidden among the firs, stands a forgotten chapel and a cemetery where Oregon’s earliest pioneers rest. The Odell Pioneer Cemetery holds stories of heartbreak, resilience… and one chilling legend that refuses to die.

Was there really a murderous preacher named Ebenezer who set fire to his own children in the chapel’s hearth? Or is the truth even more haunting than the legend?

Join us as we unravel the history, the families, and the ghost stories that surround one of Oregon’s eeriest cemeteries.

Mysterious Pacific Northwest
The Infamous Files: Where is Bryce Laspisa?

 NEW SERIES LAUNCH!!

We’re opening the first case in our new monthly series, The Infamous Files — stories that linger, mysteries that refuse to be solved, and cases that continue to haunt.


Our first file: the disappearance of Bryce Laspisa.

In August 2013, 19-year-old Bryce set out to drive home to his parents in Southern California. What should have been a seven-hour trip turned into a twenty-hour odyssey of strange phone calls, roadside stops, a wrecked SUV near Castaic Lake…and then nothing.


More than a decade later, Bryce has never been found. His case remains one of the most unsettling mysteries of the West Coast.


 Listen now everywhere you stream podcasts!

 Follow along as we open The Infamous Files once a month, each time diving into a case that refuses to rest.

Mysterious Pacific Northwest
Bonus: The Red Lights of Helena

Helena, Montana may call itself the Queen City of the Rockies… but behind the marble banks and gold-rush mansions, another empire was thriving. A world of cribs and parlor houses, velvet curtains, and infamous women like Chicago Joe, Crazy Belle, and Big Dorothy.

For more than a century, Helena’s red-light district pulsed just a block away from respectability — fueled by miners, politicians, and secrets too scandalous for daylight. There were fortunes, feuds, masquerade balls… and murders the city never solved.


Step back in time with us as we pull back the velvet curtain on Helena’s hidden past. This one is haunting, scandalous, and unforgettable.

Mysterious Pacific Northwest
The House at the Bus Stop

In early 2002, Oregon City was rocked by the disappearances of two young friends, Ashley Pond and Miranda Gaddis. As fear gripped the community, investigators searched desperately for answers, never realizing that the key to the mystery stood right at the edge of the girls’ apartment complex. This is a story of betrayal, tragedy, and justice delayed but not denied.Episode Sources:

Starvation Heights: The Deadly Cure of Linda Hazzard

This week we dive into one of the Pacific Northwest’s darkest stories — the tale of Dr. Linda Hazzard, the so-called “Starvation Doctor.”

From her rise as a self-styled healer to the horrors of Starvation Heights in Olalla, WA, we follow the patients who suffered under her deadly cure, the shocking death of Claire Williamson, the role of E.R. Butterworth’s mortuary, and the sensational trial that exposed it all.

It’s a chilling blend of history, true crime, and ghost story — and a reminder of how desperation can be exploited in the name of healing.

The Taylor Machete Murder: The Killing of Kirk Morin

On a quiet September night in 2015, 51-year-old Kirk Morin offered a ride to a young woman he’d never met. Hours later, his body was found in a ditch near the Alaska Highway, brutally struck more than 50 times with a machete. The killer, 24-year-old Lisa Miel, claimed she acted out of fear—but evidence revealed a far darker story of paranoia, preparation, and relentless violence. In this episode, we unravel the chilling events of that night, the investigation that followed, and the trial that exposed Lisa’s disturbing descent into delusion and murder.

Skull in the Basement: The Mountlake Terrace Mystery

In January 2025, a contractor renovating a Mountlake Terrace home discovered a human skull hidden in a basement bucket. No other remains. No identification. Just one of Snohomish County’s newest mysteries.

In this episode, we take you through the investigation — the forensic reconstruction, the search for her identity, and the missing women who have been compared and ruled out, including Sharon “Shari” Christine Anderson, Tracey Elizabeth Brazzel, Laynee Danielle Westbrook, and Susan Walker. Each of their cases is still unsolved.


We’ll also share the story of another unidentified case from March 2024 — a man’s skull found in Lynnwood’s Scriber Lake Park. There is no known connection between the two, but together they highlight how many names remain missing in our region.

You’ll see both reconstructions in our episode notes and on our social media. Someone knows who they are.

Murder in the Master Bedroom: The Death of Gladys Wakabayashi

In 1992, Gladys Wakabayashi — daughter of a Taiwanese billionaire — was found brutally murdered in her Vancouver home. The case went cold for 15 years… until a controversial RCMP “Mr. Big” sting led to a jaw-dropping confession from her friend, 69-year-old Jean Ann James. But was it real — or coerced?

Jealousy, betrayal, and a confession caught on tape… but with no forensic evidence, this case tests the limits of truth and justice.

What fell from the Sky: The Oakville Mystery

Something strange fell from the sky over Oakville, Washington in 1994—not rain, but a warm, gelatinous substance that made people and animals violently ill. It happened six times. The blobs were tested, found to contain living cells… and then quietly disappeared from official records. No answers. No explanations. Just silence.
What really fell from the sky?

Before Roswell, there was Mount Rainier…

On a clear June day in 1947, pilot Kenneth Arnold spotted 9 strange objects zipping across the sky at impossible speeds—and the world’s obsession with flying saucers began. Was it secret tech? Mass hysteria? Or something not of this Earth?

This is the story that launched the UFO era.
