In Manresa castle, the two rooms with the highest paranormal activity are rooms 306 and 302. According to legend, in room 306 a young woman named Kate threw herself from the bedroom window after hearing of her lover's death. In her old room, lights flicker and the TV turns on and off. In room 302 resides the spirit of a monk who hanged himself in the bell tower. Guests claim to hear footsteps in the attic, especially when no one is around. In the cafe, drinking glasses have been known to shatter and turn upside down.

  • 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!
