Real History | Real Hauntings

Seattle’s haunted history is deeply rooted in the city’s violent and tragic past. In the late 1800s, conflicts between settlers and Native American tribes left a lasting imprint, with many violent confrontations and untimely deaths. The city also became a hub for rough-and-tumble loggers, bootleggers, and sailors, whose dangerous lives often ended in violence. The Great Fire of 1889 devastated Seattle, destroying entire neighborhoods and leaving behind restless spirits in the newly rebuilt areas.

Seattle’s darker history includes a legacy of infamous serial killers like Ted Bundy and Gary Ridgway, whose horrifying crimes continue to haunt the city. With such a mix of tragedy, violence, and unsettled spirits, it’s no wonder Seattle remains one of the most haunted cities in America.
