Real Haunts

This hotel has a few hauntings according to both guests and staff. In one of the rooms closest to the main desk, a guest committed suicide. The housekeepers don’t like to clean that room. A woman and her two children are often seen in the hallways. They’ve caused mischief in many of the guest’s rooms. On the third floor, one ghost asks the housekeepers for towels but immediately disappears.

Built in 1901 by Isadore St. Martin, the Carson Hot Springs Resort has many ghosts said to be walking within its walls. Isadore was killed on the grounds in 1910. He was arguing with a man on the grounds and was accidentally stabbed in the chest. St. Martin’s wife died shortly after him. Her ghost is the most active, visible ghost on the grounds. She’s been seen in the lobby as well as the hallways on the second floor. Guests have often heard steps on the third floor, which is closed off to guests and staff.

Is the Captain Whidbey Inn haunted?

In 2007, the inn celebrated its 100th year. Along with an inn that hasn’t changed much in over 100 years, there are cabins where guests have frequently heard things that can’t be explained. There’s been the faint sound of girls laughing where there were no little girls. There’s a female apparition said to be roaming the halls of the inn. One person reported that he saw a friend scratched by a spirit too.

It’s thought that the wife of a former owner haunts the Rosario Resort. She’s been spotted on the third floor in a red dress. She also has been seen driving a motorcycle in the hotel. One guest to the resort said that she was taking a small tour upstairs and found herself in an empty room but felt like she was being watched. She was overwhelmed with the urge to leave quickly. Another guest left the hotel early in the morning after being unable to sleep. She spotted ghostly figures in the parking lot.
