Orbs in a Line Formation
My roommate claimed to be feeling very funny ~
tingley and asked to take a shot ~ these orbs shoot, arching to her and down her body???
What is that?
The Manresa Castle in Port Townsend
This 1892 castle is rumored to be haunted by a priest
that hung himself and a woman who killed herself by jumping out of a third story window.
For the last several years, numerous
guests have seen ghosts in the castle.
Supposedly, the hotel is haunted by the ghost of a young woman, Kate,
who jumped out of third story window after finding out that the love of her life died
while out at sea. Her apparition a beautiful lady in white, is often seen searching
for her love while looking out the window of the upper story. The second ghost is
rumored to be the ghost is a Jesuit priest who killed himself in the attic. Haunting
activity nonetheless is very real at Manresa.

"The story of the Castle holds some controversy.
They say that in the turn of the century a young woman by the name of Kate threw herself
out of the window to her death (the room directly above us) after learning her fiancé was
lost at sea. (she rented the room). Later, this was turned into a retreat monetary for the
Catholic priests and nuns. A priest hung himself in the room kiddy corner above us. During
our stay, the Bible moved to different locations in the room!! All surrounding that nun
figure shape on the wall in #8.
#10 I was standing there ~ and I turned around just at the same time Mercy states to me ~
I am feeling something funny ~ my hair is starting to stand up~ take a pic. AND I DID. As
the matter of fact several in a row and the first one is #10 and the others right
afterwards, and the orbs were gone. IT was very real feeling ~ we were not alone!
I have other orb shots there too ~ some very bright some not......and well...an amazing
shot at home (I am at work) of the castle and it's pitch black outside (it's #1 pic) and
above the castle is a glowing orb above the roof and it appears to be moving but it's
black and it's glowing like the moon (not as big) above the castle.
You may post it of course! I will talk to Mercy and have her email you this evening from
our home computer. If you are interested in more shots ~ that too is where I would be
sending them to you from.
YEA ~ I knew it was true blue!!!! I am not crazy!"

History
The hotel is late 19th-Century/w period furnishings in Victorian
style
Location: On hill overlooking the bay in Washington State's Olympic Peninsula.
The Castle was completed in 1892 as the home of Charles and Kate Eisenbeis. Mr. Eisenbeis
was a prominent member of the early Port Townsend business community. His business
interests were diverse including a bakery, brickworks, lumber mill, brewery, bank and a
hotel. In 1878, when Port Townsend became the first incorporated city in Jefferson County,
its citizens elected Eisenbeis as the first mayor.
In keeping with his status in the community, Eisenbeis built what was the largest private
residence ever built in Port Townsend, consisting of 30 rooms. Locals referred to the
building as the "Eisenbeis Castle;" its design was reminiscent of some of the
castles in Eisenbeis' native Prussia.
The walls were 12 inches thick, made with bricks from Eisenbeis' own brickworks and the
roof was slate. Tiled fireplaces and finely crafted woodwork were installed by German
artisans.
Charles died in 1902 and Kate remarried a few years later. The Castle was left empty for
almost 20 years except for a caretaker.
In 1925, a Seattle attorney bought the Castle as a vacation place for nuns teaching in
Seattle schools. This plan did not work out well and in l927 the Jesuit priests purchased
the building for use as a training college. The priests spent their sixteenth and final
year of training here studying ascetic theology.
In 1928, the Jesuits added a large wing housing a chapel and sleeping rooms. They also
installed the elevator (an Otis) at, a cost of $3,400 -- a substantial sum in those days.
When their addition was complete, the Jesuits stuccoed over the bricks of the original
portion to give the building a more uniform look. They named the complex "Manresa
Hall" after the town in Spain where Ignatius Loyola founded the order.
The Jesuits left in l968 and the building was converted into a hotel. The elements
"Manresa" and "Castle" were taken from the two previous owners to
create the current name.
The three different owners since l968 have all done their part to lovingly renovate the
building to modern standards while maintaining its Victorian elegance. For example, there
were only 3 bathrooms when the Jesuits left - today we have 43.
