Haunting reports at Fort Lawton (Discovery Park)

Fort Lawton, a former U.S. Army post now within Discovery Park, has long been the subject of local ghost stories involving sightings, disembodied voices, and eerie sensations near former barracks and the old cemetery. These accounts appear in local press, books on Seattle folklore, and in oral histories from park visitors and nearby residents. Fort Lawton's military history and abandoned structures contribute to its role in regional ghost lore. Interpretations of the reports vary and are presented as anecdotal.
