1. Tacoma City Hall

Old City Hall in Tacoma
Located at: 625 Commerce Street, Tacoma

How we know it's haunted:
One of the most told stories about Old City Hall was how the clock tower would chime on its own - even when it was shut off," said Ross. "One of the building managers once spent the night there and he refused to stay there alone in the dark, ever again."

Ross has also investigated the building, first about 10 years ago when a restaurant was in the bottom floor and there were offices upstairs. "The owner of the restaurant called us in because they were experiencing a lot of poltergeist phenomena. Glasses were flying off the shelves and shattering. Wine bottles being thrown off the shelf. Pots and pans being thrown. They named the ghost Gus," Ross said, though he's not sure where the name came from. Later, when the building housed the AIDS Foundation offices in Tacoma, his ghost investigation team had access to old jail cells located in the building's basements. On that occasion Ross said, the team captured the image of a shadowy figure wearing a hat at the end of the hall.
