  It likes to play!

  The first time we stayed in the jumper room. We could hear little girls giggling outside the door at the top of the stairs. My husband felt like someone was moving the headboard around. The room was wheezing and moaning in the ductwork. The second time we stayed in the room below the turret tower where the monk hung himself. When I walked in the room and sat down, it felt like somebody was running their finger across my neck. In the morning we woke up to the sound of rope being dragged across the ceiling above us. And finally, I was visiting and I was walking down some stairs and I wondered “I wonder if it will haunt me.” All of a sudden, I heard Clank, clank, clank! They made the icemaker go off just as I said that. The spirits in this hotel love to play if you’re willing.

  Flowers for Lili

  My friend Lili and I took our Classic T-Bird Club on a tour of Manresa Castle. While I gave the members the history of the Castle downstairs, my friend Lili was upstairs in Room 302, which we rented for the night, preparing appetizers and wine. After our members were served their wine and appetizers, then I told "the rest of the story" about the hauntings of Manresa Castle. That evening after I showered and got ready for bed, I turned down Lili's bed in the bedroom. In the morning Lili asked me "Did you bring any flowers with you"?. No, I replied questioningly". She then asked "Did you brush up against any flowers"? Once again "No". She said "Take a look at this"! Across her bed, and around the bed were scattered purple status. We had also found in Room 302 ONLY, people had been writing their paranormal experiences on the insides, sides, bottoms of all the drawers.

  scary but awesome

  Didn’t sleep that well cause I kept hearing banging from upstairs, keep in mind I stayed in room 308, and as I was sleeping it felt as if someone was pulling at my legs, and my boyfriend next to me said he felt like someone was on top of the sheets.

  Got married here and it's got some spirits

  We got married at Manresa in 2003. Half the photos have orbs or twisted faces. There are a lot of creaks and sounds in an old place, but this place never rests. The bar in the basement is also haunted as a result of its history in San Francisco I believe. The place has changed a lot. The weird game bar in the basement replaced a quaint area, but the vibe remains. We have returned many times. Had toilet paper rolls launch into the suite, wardrobe doors open and close. The "tower" rooms are the busiest for haunts. Beyond the hotel the town hosts old military forts that are also haunted as well as a port area where shop, restaurants and the views are amazing and worth the trip.

  Manresa castle

  We went to this hotel for my grandpa's funeral that was close by and me and my mom saw the episode of ghost adventures going to this location and we said let's stay here. During the day we decided to wander around the castle and went up to room 302 (we didn't knock or anything just wanted to see it) and then we went looking around again and found some stairs. We took a picture and there was a shadow figure mist standing on the stairs and before we even looked at the picture I decided to walk up the stairs. And had a really eerie feeling and then heard a bang on the door that was up there. We immediately ran back to our room down stairs and looked at the pictures and we saw the picture with the shadow figure mist and got really excited about it. It was an amazing yet scary feeling and I would definitely go back again

  Verify sounds and smell

  We stay directly u der 302, heard a loud thud each night around 230-3 am. The strong perfume smell would start being noticeable around 9 and got stronger as the evening wore on. Lots of un explained "walking" in the halls at night. We enjoyed the fountain and courtyard. The ghosts we. Around but I felt they were just saying hi. Buy I do lots of ghost hunting activities and have definately had some scary or negative presences. These guys are creepy but harmless.

  Stayed in Room 306

  This room just had an eery feeling. Besides that, the only thing we noticed was the cabinet door under the sink was wide open in the morning. And the cabinets latch pretty hard so it had to be opened with some force. I would definitely go back and stay again.

  Beautiful but scary!

  I have stayed here 4 times because I have a niece and teen son interested in paranormal places in WA. My niece and I stayed in room 306 which is reportedly haunted by a female. Upon our arrival, we were overwhelmed by the smell of old strong perfume. The activity continued with flickering lights, the tv turning off multiple times (not at the same time that the lights flickered) and loud banging. My niece claimed to see an apparition of a female while I was in the restroom. She refused to stay after that;). We left at 0100. I did return 3 more times with my teen son and husband. We stayed in room 302. No perfume smell, but banging, strange noises, interference with electronics and batteries draining. It's a beautiful castle, just a bit haunted for me!
