These 5 Haunted Cemeteries In Washington Are Not For the Faint of Heart

We'll start with what is possibly our scariest cemetery story. Maltby's cemetery has had reports of apparitions of a ghostly woman and children, but that's far from the most terrifying thing to happen here.

There were once 13 steps starting at ground level descending into the ground leading to the back entrance of the tomb of a wealthy family. Supposedly teens would dare each other to go down the stairs, touch the door to the tomb, and come back… but when the unlucky person turned around after completing the dare, he or she would get a terrifying glimpse into hell. Some people were so traumatized they were left unable to speak. The steps have been covered up and No Trespassing signs cover the cemetery to discourage people from trying to find them.

With graves dating back to the 1800s, it's no wonder than the Black Diamond Cemetery is a hot spot for paranormal activity. Some people swear they hear the whistling of old coal miners, while others claim they've seen a ghostly white horse. It's also common to feel as if you're being watched as you walk through the cemetery.

Seattle has a small civil war cemetery on Capitol Hill next to the Lake View Cemetery. If you go at the right time, you just might see an apparition of a man in a Civil War uniform.

Many people who visit this cemetery feel as if something is "off." Some hear strange footsteps when there's no one around, and some people hear whispering even when they're alone. There's even an apparition here, a ghostly "white lady" who disappears when you get close to her.
