GHOSTS AT THE CIRCUS ROOM IN THE HISTORIC DAVENPORT HOTEL, SPOKANE, WA

Room 708, previously 730, is the oldest and the only guest room at the Historic Davenport Hotel, that was not gutted during the remodel done by the Worthy's in 2000.
This over-sized room located near the freight and service elevators started out as a " sample room" for the salesmen's sample cases brought thru the extra wide doors .
In 1935 it was converted to host parties and meetings and painted
in Circus themed scenes in honor of Louie Davenport's friend, a Walla Walla native businessman Harper Joy, who had travelled with the Ringling Brothers Circus every summer as a clown.
The characters in the scenes are friends and contemporaries of Mr. Joy. If you look closely, you will find Louie Davenport and the Worthy's, who were added later, among some of the people.
The Circus Room was turned into a guest room around 2011 and is a favorite of many, including myself. It seems, that the friendly ghosts at the Davenport Hotel agree.
On my 1st stay, Psychic Medium Jane Stewart of Ghost411.net podcast saw a young boy spirit in the room. I got responses on the voice recorder to validate that someone was present.
Later, going over pictures and videos from my 2 visits in the Circus Room with Psychic Medium Jennifer Von Behren, she saw a modestly dresses brown haired younger, short and thin female in a grey dress, who had a hat on. Jennifer felt that she was from the 1930's. Her name was possibly Claire. She prefers the corner by the window of the room near the bathroom.
She has been there for a while and was very happy to get a friendly guest to talk to. Claire is very smiley and social lady, who goes to other areas in the hotel as well, especially the main area.
She used to work as an assistant organizer as a volunteer. She said that there used to be records in the "basement", but they burned in a fire. Apparently Mr. Davenport liked to keep records in different places and not all in one place.
Claire was able to turn on the flash light for responses, but was having trouble with the music box and other equipment, so she brought in a "few" friends to give them a try.
Claire's friend George, a heavier set shorter man with a mustache, came by later with a taller man. The taller man was thin and was wearing a hat. He had died in a fire.
Next came a nun looking lady , who took turns with the flashlight with George.
Another male spirit wearing a black outfit with a jacket and clean cut, who they called the manager, came in as well.
Next a curly brown haired female spirit came in. Her hair was "poofy" in the front and tight in the back with a bun by the neck.
She looked like a possible singer.
They were all fascinated with the flash light and having a lot of fun and laughing trying to get the music box to go on, with no luck, by dancing in front of it. Claire kept them all in the corner by the window.
She told me before she called the other spirits in not to be afraid if I see shadows and movement. All the ghosts in the Davenport are friendly she said, except the crumpy man in the basement, who makes a lot of noise.
Claire also said that there is a little boy in the hotel, that some female spirit took under her wing. The boy is happy.
Claire also said that Bing Crosby still sings to them.
When I asked about Al Capone, the singer female spirit rolled her eyes in a dramatic way and the manager male spirit says " They are always having parties". Everyone would use tunnels during the prohibition.
The singer called one of the bar tenders "eye candy".
As for Amelia Earhart, Claire said that she was louder than people thought.
I was able to get many responses on the voice recorder during both of my stays.
The ghosts at the Davenport Hotel are very friendly and willing to talk to those who so wish. However they respect the privacy of the guests and let them enjoy this amazing room in peace.
The Circus Room sleeps many people and is a great place for families. The Davenport Hotel is having a special on this room currently till 31 December, that includes dining credit. cocktails, cookies, keepsakes and more. It's a great time to go experience the magic of the Circus Room and the Historic Davenport Hotel.

Something to think about. There is so much more out there than a human eye can see.
Many use full spectrum cameras during investigations in order to try and catch anomalies in the areas that are not visible to the human eye.

GHOSTS AT THE MCCONNELL MANSION, MOSCOW, ID

McConnell Mansion, now a museum, was built in 1886 for William J. McConnell (1839-1925) and his family.
The mansion had 3 private owners after the McConnell's lost the house in 1897.
The Adair family bought the house in 1901 and lived there till 1935, after which Thomas L. Jackson family bought it and lived there till 1941.
The last private owner was Dr. Frederic Church [1885-1966], who bought the house in 1941 and lived there till he passed away in 1966. He bequeathed the mansion to Latah County to be used as a museum and in 1971 the building was declared as such. The Mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
Addition to all the families who lived in the mansion, the mansion had many renters over the years.
You can take a guided tour of the museum or simply walk around on your own. There is much to see as the Latah County Museum Society has done a wonderful job adding period related items to the mansion in addition to some original items, that belonged to the families.
I felt the energy change in two area, first in the hired girls room and again in Dr. Churches room upstairs.
I got voice responses in The Adair family room, 2 in Dr. Churches room, McConnell's bedroom, formal parlor and the hired girl's room.
Psychic Medium Jennifer Von Behren immediately picked up the energy of Dr. Church. He is very talkative and confirmed, that he was responding to me in his area. He also said that Mrs. McConnell is still there.
There is also a female spirit , who was the maid or a hired girl for the McConnell family. She has been there a long time and she doesn't want to leave.
Mrs. McConnell did not like the construction at all, that was done in the mansion. She also was not fond of the renters in the house.
She also said that she hated the 70's. Mrs. McConnell likes to sit in the blue chair in the formal parlor area. She says that she put her heart and soul into the house and is very attached to it.
Dr. Church absolutely loves the house. He says that the families liked game nights. He is very funny and also a bit sarcastic.
Psychic Medium Jennifer Von Behren says that the house energy is mostly great and all the ghosts in it have a good energy. They like to maintain their daily things.
Jennifer hears someone speaking French.
Dr. Church tells Jennifer, that the reason he gave the house to the Latah County was, because he didn't want anyone moving in there.
He said that the people in the area were good to him and that is another reason why he left the house to them.
There is someone in the house, who is making Jennifer feel sick. Mrs. Adair had tuberculosis and passed away in 1933. Dr. Church is telling Jennifer that going up the stairs was difficult for Mrs. Adair so they built a bedroom for her on the main floor and extended the room into the porch. That bedroom is now the museum gift shop.
He also says that Dr. William Adair was a nice man and brought him in the mansion. Dr. Adair passed away in 1933.
Dr. Church said that he had medical students in the house and wanted them to understand how to help people. He would pick people that were more progressively minded and taught them things that were outside the zone of normal medicine at the time.
They had many good discussions on different new ways to approach things. Dr. Church also liked to learn from his students.
Jennifer also sees a young boy in the attic playing.
One of the female spirits that Jennifer sees, looks like Lulu Adair.
Lot of the information has been gathered from Dr. Church's diaries that he kept. They are housed in the Special Collections at the University of Idaho in addition to his family photographs.
McConnell Mansion Museum is a must see when in Moscow, ID.
They will take donations to help with necessary repairs and to keep this beautiful mansion open for all to see and learn the history of that era.

GHOSTS AT THE PITTOCK MANSION, PORTLAND, OR

I toured the French Renaissance-style mansion built for a businessman and once the owner of the Oregonian Henry Pittock (1834-1919] and his wife Georgiana Pittock [1845-1918] in 1914.
The mansion is located in the West Hills, once the Imperial Heights, of Portland, OR overlooking the Cascades, Mt Hood, Mt. St. Helen and Portland.
The Pittocks had 8 children of which one died in infancy and another at the age of 20.
The mansion was occupied by the Pittock family from 1914 till 1958, after which it was put for sale. Unfortunately Mr. and Mrs. Pittock passed away few years after they moved in , however it seems that they remained there along with few other ghosts.
In 1964 the city of Portland bought the mansion, which was badly deteriorated with water damage and opened it to the public in1965 as a historic house museum.
In 1968 a nonprofit Pittock Mansion Society was formed to run the operations of the mansion with the Parks & Recreation, however in 2007 the Pittock Mansion Society took over all operations .
During my tour I could feel the energy change in several areas, especially in the large room in the basement. I got 2 voice responses in Henry's bedroom and one in another bedroom upstairs.
In the basement I got a male voice response in the large room, where he gave me his name, but I couldn't make out what it was.
Psychic Medium Jennifer Von Behren saw male ghosts in the basement room. A tall man with a hat was shot in this room long time ago on purpose. Other men set a trap for him to test him. The man was a thief. They were playing cards around a big round table in the middle. Jennifer can see people coming in bringing food. The room is full of smoke.
Jennifer can hear a lot of noise and people laughing and multiple kids running around on the top floor hallways. Addition to the Pittock family children, there were many cousins visiting as well.
The mansion also has a lot of residual energy, especially in the library room, which was the Pittocks family room, where they spent a lot of time at.
Mrs. Pittock was quite talkative and was giving Jennifer lot of information. She said that the curved walls were what she wanted ,as they flowed better.
It seems that Mrs. Pittock had some phobias such as being very scared of people stealing things.
She wanted us to also know that she loved babies. She was laughing and saying most of the stuff in the current house didn't belong to her. Some of it is to her taste, but she said that whoever brought most of it in had a horrible taste and she didn't care for any of it.
Mrs. Pittock said that there are secret passages in the house, because she was so afraid of getting robbed and wanted a safe place for the kids as well.
She also said that they had a lot of parties.
The Pittocks supported many charities with fundraising .
Psychic Medium Jennifer Von Behren also saw a boisterous male spirit in the dining room area saying he is one of the cousins. He is good at cards.
Jennifer saw a female spirit in one of the bedrooms, who may be the Pittock's daughter Lucy. She had 3 kids and Jennifer can hear a baby.
There were 2 female spirits following me around the mansion according to Jennifer.
She could also see another male spirit, a jokester type, popping in.
Henry Pittock is in the mansion as well according to Jennifer. He has good energy.
The energy in the Carriage House is good. The caretakers felt like part of the family and they took care of all the kids as well.
The mansion has good energy , except for the basement.
The Pittock mansion was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and has been used in few movie sets and the game show Amazing Race.
The Pittock Mansion is a beautiful and an amazing place with it's grand stair case, woodwork, history and grounds and a must visit when in Portland.
One has to pay for the parking separately.
