Some Halloween joy for the locals: the Evergreen Paranormal Group has a nice long list of haunted places in Washington (no, the other one). Here’s an especially creepy one:

Concrete – Mount Baker Hotel – Make it known that if you are going to this hotel, and you go upstairs be prepared, you will see a little girl about 4, with red hair and blue jean shorts on, with a pink shirt on! She might try to push you down the stairs (Do Not Be Alarmed!) but it does not work. All you can feel is a sort of tingle go through your body. You can hear a little girls voice saying “The bad woman?s gonna hurt me!” Also you might hear “Turn around, the bad woman will hurt you!” People say that her mother used to beat her to death.

Clearly my youth was not misspent enough.

Almost by definition.

Hmm:
