Take a paranormal tour of this Pacific Northwest town . . . photos included!

Historic Snohomish has enough ghostly tales for a town twice its size. A policeman named Henry, who died on the floor of the Oxford Tavern, haunts the popular watering hole alongside nearly twenty other impish spirits. Incarcerated for everything from public drunkenness to coldblooded murder, former inmates still crowd the cells of the old county jail on First Street, banging against the metal confines. Locals attribute the faint lilt of a fiddle heard near the railroad tracks to the spirit of the sad, sullen man who committed suicide on the nearby bluff.

In this spooky guide to Snohomish, Washington, Deborah Cuyle reveals the chilling history, strange stories, and wandering souls that refuse to leave their lovely town.

Not to be mistaken for the history of Snohomish

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2017

This book was a gift because I research and write about the history of Snohomish. Early Snohomish (WA) (Images of America) I also served as president of Snohomish Historical Society, 2008-09, and it saddens me to think that this book may be mistaken for the history of Snohomish. One egregious example is on page 50, the author writes, "Mr. Ferguson arrived in Cadyville in 1864 with his wife and child. He built a tiny building (Snohomish's first business) on the corner of Cedar and Commercial Streets."

Set aside the fact that the streets were yet to be officially named in 1864, Mr. Ferguson arrived in Snohomish unmarried in 1860, and reassemble his cottage, shipped north from Steilacoom, on a site close to where it still stands -- a story told on a stone marker on the Snohomish Riverfront Trail -- no need to even crack a book to research!

The writer was closer to the facts on page 15: "Snohomish was originally founded in about 1858 by Emory C. Ferguson, E. F. Cady and several others." It seems the writer meant Mary Low Sinclair, who did arrive in 1864 with a month old child and the household goods, but her husband, Woodbury, was already here operating an existing store. Mary's child died shortly have her arrival and Woodbury died unexpectedly in 1871 -- stepping up the plans for the settlement's first cemetery.

And just one example of the author's dubious descriptive writing on the same page that I cannot resist pointing out: "Large steamships would slowly drift up the canal along with smaller fishing boats." The Snohomish River is not an "artificial waterway" and only in a ghost story could a steamship "slowly drift" upstream.

Book signing and meet the author.

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2016

I want to a book signing at my local book store. I would have liked more in depth research. Wonderful photos. Some of the text is dated because the stores continually change and the new names of some stores have changed again. Great town to visit.

and couldn't be more pleased with the research

Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2017

My wife and I read Haunted Snohomish, and couldn't be more pleased with the research, and writing of Deborah Cuyle. My wife is a writer, and I am an historian, so we both examined the book from a different angle. Our conclusion: It's a fun book to read, and the stories are well researched. I live in Snohomish, and have heard about some of the hauntings discussed in the book, but Deborah filled in the blanks for me, and told me about hauntings I knew nothing about. This book will make the reader want to visit Snohomish.

Highly entertaining! I was glued to every page. I lived near Snohomish for nearly 30 years and had no clue about it's spiritual history. Deborah Cuyle was not only informative, but with her writing style, very captivating!
