Fort Worden Military Cemetery
TOPICS
There are a few ghost stories associated with Fort Worden’s cemetery. I arrived for this
investigation hopeful, but the reality was disappointing. I saw rows of tidy white markers,

Woods next to Fort Worden Cemetery
The wooded area next to the cemetery felt odd. But, nothing unusual appeared in those
photos either. Next time I’m at Fort Worden, I will spend more time there. I’d be willing
to bet that those woods witnessed something unfortunate, and–perhaps on the
anniversary of it–those woods may be the most haunted spot at Fort Worden. My
“gut feeling” is usually right, and I feel that there is some connection between those

now-famous “sparkles” camera.
I have never seen such bright and colorful sparkles. They were vivid, crayon box colors.
They were large; the smallest was the size of a baseball, and many others were as large as
beachballs. Most people would probably describe them as orbs.
Generally when I go ghost hunting, these lights and orbs are at least 20 feet away. At Fort
Worden, they were next to me. Some were probably close enough to touch, but I was

Most of the Guard House photos looked perfectly normal, with nothing of note
in them. We discount faint orbs because of reflective glass windows, etc. At least 80% of
my photos looked like the lower of these two:

A few photos had dim orbs in them. These were not bits of dust; the evening was too
humid for dust. And, the wind was fierce, so any bugs, pollen, droplets or particles would
have appeared as streaks, not orbs.
Analyzing these photos, we’d ordinarily discount any orbs due to some car lights in the
nearby parking lot. However, this is the advantage of having many photos to work with: If
the lights had caused orbs, we’d have orbs in most of the photos. We don’t.
On the next page, The Man in Blue, see more dramatic orbs and one of our most
startling photos, ever: A ghostly blue figure standing just outside the Guard House.
