Does anybody else remember the time that in 1955 a pregnant woman in Parkland Washington set the world record for flagpole sitting by staying on top of a pole for 169 days? Yeah, I assume so. #wa #washington #parkland #tacoma #history #didyouknow #trivia

Born n raised in Spokane thetes many spooky stories there .the tunnels were to move alcohol = woman to hid illegal goings on, Travis restaurant is connected
I was 7 years old when it hit us in se Portland. Blew all the south windows out and the shingles off. All the neighbors were out helping each other. Some on top of their roofs.
When I first entered Wilkinson, I felt a haunting presence and later researched it on UA-cam, discovering I wasn't alone. Last summer, I visited the Pick & Shovel Saloon & Restaurant with my son and niece just before closing to grab some nachos. I had a ghost detector app on my phone, which I inquired about with the cook. He claimed the pizza place down the street was more haunted. I brought up the basement, prompting the employee to ask the bartender to show me the basement door. As we entered the bar, the ghost alert activated. The employee opened the door, revealing the basement door and a cold draft. When asked if I wanted him to open the door on the floor to the basement,I declined, and we returned to the restaurant, where the ghost detector went off again. My son happened to delete the app after that.. hopefully next time I go up there in a week or so I remember to go check out the place with the dolls.
It's so different since out of states invaders have decented
Bizarre but interesting
What a wonderful video on some fascinating geologic areas of Tacoma. I’ll have to check to see if you have any tour of Bummard’s Gulch. And BTW, you’re extremely easy on the eyes! 🤗
I don't have Bummard's Gulch on the roster yet. Sounds like I will need to add it soon.
@ That would be great. I think it’s now called Swan Creek, but I still refer to it as Bummard’s Gulch. So many great memories of playing and hiking in it, waaaaay back when it was safe for kids to do so.
My great grandparents were homesteaders that were forced off the island. My grandfather and his sisters grew up on the island, attending school and church at the Swedish Lutheran Church. Peter and Anna Anderson were my great grandparents and their daughter Caroline also owned a large piece of property on the island too.
I live in port angeles and I swim in lake crescent
I wear a Eddie Bauer down boundary pass parka here in Pennsylvania warmest down i ever owned
I love yakima. I've lived in L.A and other major cities but it always feels good to come back home and breathe fresh air and actually see all 4 seasons
Can you really say Fort Lewis is a national military base as in the USA national military base and not a North American military base because as a Canadian, I was posted there twice and I still love the area! Its my #1 vacation spot!
Some of those cars on the bottom of Lake Crescent are probably stolen.
It was all based on the '100 year event' scenario. Of which there would be a flash flood, every hundred years, that would be so powerful that it would reach the Columbia River, going through historical downtown Kennewick.
And there is a church not far from the hospital that gives off mad creepy vibes! It is still in use but when I used the parking lot to turn around in cause it is on a dead end road, all the hairs stood up on my arms and the back of my neck and my body broke out in goose bumps.... the negative energy paralyzed me for a moment, during which time I could barely breath.....
Actually took a tour of that hospital during the day... the night tours is when people spent the night. And one thing I learned on that tour was that it actually didn't close until the 1990's or the early 2000's... I can't remember the exact date just that I was totally shocked it had still been open that recently but not as a hospital, that use did stop in the 60's. It became a insane asylum but towards the end of its years it housed disabled people from the community and that's what it was when it finally shut down for good. It is definitely haunted though! In 1918 when the influenza plague was killing people off all over, Colfax was not spared and during that time the hospital had bodies piled up, including many infants waiting to be taken through the tunnel to the crematorium, which happened to be in a separate building next door. Definitely a creepy place to check out.
Hi there, I actually have some pictures still from going to Wilkeson. That place was spooky for sure, especially the house with the mannequins. I went around July 2021.
Good information and stories!
👍
Even in the 70's, you still heard the phrase, "The rabbit died". As a kid, I thought maybe they let a woman hold the rabbit, and if it died, it was some poisonous thing to being pregnant.
Holy shitttttt
I’m part Yakima I’m a Native American
Dear God, humans are terrible. 🙏🏼🐇💔
I just want to Wish You and your family a Very Merry Christmas ✝️ 🎄and Happy New Year. Many Blessings
Went from beautiful architecture to a brutalist tower
@@RSTactical it really did
The story behind what it was used for doesn't make sense.. seems like the Epstein type of facility but worse
For shame 🌲
I've got a couple seats allegedly from this streetcar
Hahaha! 🤣 I've always called it "Sushi Island" 😂
Second comment
our friend , mr wizard......
thank you! mr. wizard......
You must be REAL fun at parties
@@chAIboiBoogie I have never been accused of something so terrible
It’s the “terrible drivers come from here” state. As someone who lives in the Portland metro I see y’all. Use your damn blinker
That's all the California transplants
Its the EVER WET STATE lmao
Our legislators are all idiots.
“Before ya’ll sprint to the comments” LOL. I love your humor!
People hire me that have castles in Tacoma and other places in a western Washington I clean roofs, and I am a professional gardener with my money I develop farms I gave away over 5000 fruit trees this year😊
Gotta love Washington! 😊
I’m in Wa I do paranormal content can you tell me where I can go in Shelton or Olympia area?
I'm happy with the Evergreen state.

Interesting! When I was a kid, we had a holly tree in our yard. I was sad when my dad chopped it down 😢.
@@yettawat1564 they really are beautiful. Sharp, but gorgeous
thank you! mr. wizard of washington.....
Oh...dam...
I have NEVER seen purple martens here! Just a couple summers ago, here on the coast, we started seeing California scrub jays, though!
