So I grew up in Colville (pronounced CALLville) and the old Fort Colville is located about 50-70 miles east of Molson. It is located just outside of the town of Colville. Perhaps there was another old Fort located in Okanagan county but Ft. Colville wasn't it. As to the fort Colville graveyard I have spent a good amount of time out there and have experienced a couple strange encounters. The most common phenomenon is bright colored orbs. I have seen numerous orbs floating around the graveyard on a couple different occasions. The scariest encounter I experienced, I was parked in my car out there once with a buddy and someone or something walked by my car. I caught the outline of a person out of my peripheral and when I looked there was nothing there. I not only saw something but actually could feel whatever it was disturb the air and felt a slight breeze as it walked past. But yea there was nobody there and it definitely freaked my buddy and I out enough to hightail it out of there quickly!

Yes… please, please please learn how to pronounce the names of towns (Colville pronounced CALLville by locals) before making film about it. Don’t be a Frazier and go to Lake cheLAWN (aka to Washingtonians as Lake cheLAN as in as) 😢

I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Japanese-American. The first ghost town in Washington I knew about is Monte Cristo. I looked on a list of ghost towns about 10 years ago, and Index was listed as a ghost town! That's in Snohomish County, just one county away from King County, where Seattle is in.

At the 20:33 mark, what you identify as Bodie at its peak, is actually a picture of the main street of Loomis, Washington around 1908. I grew up in northern Okanogan County and loved exploring the area's ghost towns and mines. You could easily do a whole program on the ghost towns of Okanogan County.

I have good memories of Bordeaux. Back in the late 50s we lived next door to the Bordeaux family on Budd Inlet just north of Olympia. One weekend they gave my dad the keys to the old mills in Bordeaux. I remember walking up the overgrown railroad right of way to the town and spending the afternoon exploring the town and the lumber mill. It was all very well preserved then.

As a teen in the sixties I spent a wonderful summer in Lester, Wa. My brother-in-law was the stationmaster for the railroad station there. One lane dirt track up, which was the same road that you could at anytime ,come face to face with a fully loaded logging truck that has no brakes. I came across this video, It's made this old man remember a world gone by and take a step back...Thank you. I'll do everything but turn on notification.

I can confirm that there's something out in Clay City. Me and my friends are camping up there one night and in the middle of the night we heard a woman screaming and woke us all up. Nobody else was up there. That was back before they tore down the brick factory. Every time we went up there something weird happened. The tunnels were really scary to go down we had a flashlight go out on us one time down there we had to come out with just our lighters.

I visited the logging camp of Lester when I was a kid-and can't remember anything about where it is located, or was I should say, we were on a family outing to visit a family friend named Joy Harris who was a Cat-skinner for Scott Paper Co. out of the Sedro-Woolley yard. I was watching some old videos by Skadill earlier tonight and an old Skagit yarder brought back memories of those days when we lived on the Miller farm in Burlington and went up in these mountains every weekend going by the Skagit Steel factory every time hoping to see the newest blue and white steel monster they had created! We camped on LK. Cavanaugh when there were no cabins on it! And the "Finn Settlement" still had loggers from Finland living in those shacks with kerosene lamps burning at night! Seems like 200 years ago, and at times like yesterday!

My wife showed me a short you did that my friend sent to her about 2 weeks ago about Franklin. Now, I have been to Melmont, Fairfax, Wilkeson(Skookum Slope), Bayne, and many more I including the "Navy Mine" . I did extensive research on Franklin and have been there on numerous occasions in the past(yes, the cemetery was sad to see). As a matter of fact, I actually assisted with the clean ups done there at Franklin and have worked with the museum. I have also, over the past 10 years, put a 3D model of Franklin together, which is far from done but hoping to bring that town back to life virtually for the museum eventually. Keep up the great work you do!

The very tiny (then) quintessential Roslyn Brewpub down across the street was always a great visit after long mtn bike rides in the area. Thanks for another excellent video, Chris!! PS: have friends that live out past Orting off O-K Hwy in the Clay City area... they & most locals will admit tho never actually encountering a Squatch, only hearing or smelling them, all say anyone who camps out near the Kap Lake enough will eventually see that floating Alice Cooper Ghost lady, she gets around.

For those of you trying to find Fort Colvile (yes that is how it's spelled) it was submerged after the completion of the Grand Coulee dam in 1941. Fort Colville was located near Colville Washington, but it is not the same fort. If you want to see the monument stone, it is located at St Pauls Mission in Kettle Falls, on the bank of Lake Roosevelt/Columbia River.

The atv camper video at Clay City along that path showed alot of crooked trees. Trees that grow like that are usually close to some of the earths magnetic lay lines. If you or someone goes out there try using some dosing rods, or even just use some green sticks. It is the energy subconsciously cruises thru the person holding the dosing rods that make them work. It would be interesting to see how active they would be. And yes a seasoned doser is still best way to find water or spot to dig a well.

Unfortunately, Bordeaux can no longer be visited. I live just a few miles from it and wanted to go photograph the ruins but the owners have posted serious No Trespassing signs and even have security cams set up all around it. Sad. People have contacted the owners about getting permission to go and they always say NO. Tragic.

I waa born & have lived in WA since 69. When I bought my house on Pilchuck Tree Farm Road by Lake Bosworth It was brand new nobody lived in it yet. The 1st time I used my riding lawn mower I saw a spirit of an Indian chasing me with a spear and had a picture on a small table of my daughter and grandson and evey day i woke up to it being face down. I said I don't mind sharring my home but stop touching that picture if you do it again your out of here. It never happened again

A long time ago I had a magazine called Sunset magazine ,from about 1978-79-80 or so on ghost towns. In that magazine they rated ghost towns from 1-5 where 1 was a true ghost town 3 was almost a ghost town 4 and 5 were tourist ghost towns, like Silver city in Nevada DO you know anything about that list or the ratings? I been trying to find it but have not found anything

Years ago when I was 18 we drove out past Kapowsin in the woods and rounded a bend in the woods. It opened up to a clearing the size of a football field. There were Satan worshippers practicing their stuff out there. They were dress in robes and had a bonfire. It was weird as crap. It’s a spooky area with dark energy for sure

Hey kapowsin thats where i grew up right by the lake across from the old high school that burned down in the 40s our house had a lady ghost in it. Only times i ever seen my dad scared. 2 story house and we all slept in the downstairs bedroom for months. We all had seen her several times. Though she never seemed to be trying to scare us but it was scary anyways. She would make are clock radio turn on n play music when it wasnt plugged to the wall more then a couple of times. She would also play with r toys. One time she had took all our barbies out they were in tye middle of the room. We never played with them but she had put clothes and shoes on them n messed with there hair. ..that was one of the last straws. One a. Big huge guy in overalls had his truck break down in front of our house. He came up to the fence n asked us to get a parent so dad came out n invited the giy inside to use our phone. Nope dude straight up refused to step one foot inside our yard he said he have to give my dad the number n make the call for him because he said his mother had lived in our house 8 or 9 years before and he said he would never step foot in our house again neither would his mother because of "the lady spirit" that eventually drove them to move because they kept seeing her all the time n she would do wierd thing with there stuff. After a long time of sleeping downstairs all of us squeezed in one room everybody to scared to go upstairs finally my parents had had enough. We drove back from reno dad was asleep so my mom and us just left him in the van sleeping. He woke up n she was inside the car with him. He came runinng in the house absolutely terrified. And he was a tough guy. He left that same night cause he was done we moved our stuff out that weekend. Moved into a small small ass house 1 story one bedroom. I kinda realy sucked moving to such a smaller home. But we were all to scared to stay. The lady who lives there now has been there for 17 years but has never seen her... I think the ghost lady died when the whole tiwn burned down in like 30s or 40s.. N e ways if ur reading i sure thank you for letting me share that memory with u.

@@calebblanford7353 one of the only places that actually changed at all wierd. Its just stuck in time i guess or maybe itss just stuck that way in my mind. Its been years since the last time i went there. Its a long drive but i sure would love to see it again. Oh how i wish i could literally go back in time. I totaly do things different. Life would be a whole lot different then it is today...oh n im guessing they werent robes probaly just blankets cause it was cold out. I think i know what field it probaly was.

everyone misses the HUGE rock wall at Melmont! much cooler than TNT shed I've been to every town standing or not the last two decades in WA. I will return here and finish the show but I'm curious as to why Fairfax wasn't covered WITH Melmont? a bridge connected them (remains in river). oh...most active GHOST town: Kerriston!

Someone talking about all that was at Bodie during it's heyday at about 18:30 minutes confused it with the California Bodie. This one didn't have all the saloons and brothels the guy describes. I'm not even sure it had a saloon. Also, the town shown at approximately 20.30 minutes in is the Town of Loomis, Washington. Not Bodie.
