Haunted Pythian Home Building

Posted on April 18, 2010

The once lived in, and now closed down, Pythian Home is a very beautiful building that is now and possibly forever haunted and not supervised by anyone to where any kid, or teenager who is stupid enough can break in there and get gravely ill or can die from what is in there.

Back years ago there was a murder when this building was open and being lived in, a young lady was stabbed and killed by a psychotic person. Maids or nurses (unknown of what they were) tried cleaning it but once they left only for a few seconds and came back, the blood was still there the same way it was before they even started cleaning it. Now once in a while if anyone goes there, they may hear footsteps, or may feel someone or something brush up against you, even when no one is around you.

Saturday February 20th 2010 me, my sister and our mother went there to get photos of the building. It is such a beautiful yet scary building, me and my sister got chills down our spines because we felt like someone was watching us from every corner, so many windows boarded up and doors felt like they were unlocked yet so mysterious. I never knew how I could feel until we got to the side of the building which was the most mysterious part of the once not so scary building because the stairs on the somewhat hidden part of it all. I had a weird sensation to go up the stairs and see what was up there that made me so drawn to it, but I didn’t go near them.

I have tried contacting many people about the Pythian Home to get more information for as I can give many reasons to keep this building up and alive, back in 2004 the school superintendent said that he was thinking of having it torn down! Which mostly he can’t do because it’s not his choice. Thankfully it hasn’t yet because this building has many memories that over a hundred people have, including me. Hopefully one of these days I will go back and be braver as to take my sister and brother with me to go all the way around the building by walking, and not in a car. I love the Pythian Home, I don’t think I should have been scared, it’s the calmest and may a little bit of scariness but it’s still wonderful, and I would give anything just to get a certain amount of pictures inside. The shines on the windows made shadows on the windows that made it look like people were inside the building when its closed and some parts boarded up. I just wanted to see how amazing the building was until we (me and my sister) got a feeling like there were more than us (me, her and mom) there and they wanted us away from the building right then and there.

The story says: A lady was murdered one night by a psychotic man and the maids were to clean the blood off the bathroom floor, but one lady that knew her went to pay her respects, but once she returned to the bathroom, she found it the way it was just before they started cleaning, now on the anniversary of the death all the gore returns, there is still no use in cleaning it up, cause it will just come back, over and over and over again.

Me and my sister were waiting outside our car when it died; my sister was walking backwards and stopped until all of a sudden she said “Courtney, I heard footsteps!" I told her she was crazy, then I heard it, then she seriously yelled in a scared tone “something touched me!" like someone or something was trying to push her towards the building, we then ran to the car and got in till we calmed down, we stayed in the car for awhile and then Tommy came around the corner in his car and we waved him down till he stopped, we told him that our car died, he stayed for awhile then me and my sister freaked out and walked around and I looked into a window on the top and I saw two little girls with long red hair and they were wearing black dresses facing out the top window I said “Am I the only one who is seeing this?" Isabella said “No", we got scared and went back in the car. Tommy then left and we waited for my sisters dad to come pick us up which took more then an hour reason is because we had to call the towing place and they said we could wait or leave our keys under the driver seat, but we couldn’t wait for the tow truck to get there because it was freezing cold, once her father got there we hopped in and waited for mom to get off the phone with the towing place, I forgot that the camera was in the car and I had to run into the other car to get it and back to the other, mom then came to the van and we left, never again have we been back but soon enough I will go back, and I will be ready.

        Hello from the Knights Of Pythias, of the Grand Domain of Washington state. Your story, is very interesting. You might want to talk to local Pythians about the history of the building. You can look us up on the web, type in “The Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias,” and look for the contact info. The site lists the states as Grand Domains, find your state and there should be some contact info for members near by. I think we still have some old pictures of the home you speak of too, but have’nt been on the site in a while.

        Cheers!
        Midnight.

    Your story might have been better had it not been so disjointed. I realize that no one here is a professional writer, but it was difficult to follow. For example, you note that you, your sister and your mother went to this house. Then you say, “Me and my sister were waiting outside our car when it died.” So, where was your mother? You were waiting “outside of the car,” then then you say, “. . . we then ran to the car.” You don’t give a single clue who “Tommy” is, but then you suddenly introduce this character, “Tommy came around the corner in his car . . .” Your car is dead and you’re in it – waiting for what? Tommy stays for a while, then leaves. Why didn’t you go with Tommy? Then you had to wait for over an hour for your sister’s dad to pick you- and during the whole time, Tommy coming and you waiting for a while with him, then waiting for over an hour while the dad came – and THEN your mom is on the phone with the tow company? You say, ” . . . we hopped in and waited for mom to get off the phone with the towing place.” None of this makes sense to me. If my car died, I would have called the tow company immediately and I would have left with Tommy. Why sit there in the cold, in front of a scary place for hours??

    lolz, i know this story is alil messed, i started writing it once i got home from that creepy building. tommy is one of my friends, well, now a brother. my mother was actually around the corner, we walked off because we kepy seeing things. uh….i couldnt go with tommy because, he was with his gf, and man was she givin me some weird looks. we actually did get ahold of them, we had to call 3 different ones, it was difficult. my sisters father was actually lucky he picked us up lol, his plates were alil old so it was messed up. we actually were waiting to calm down, we were seeing some messed up stuff so when we saw those two ‘girls’ in the top window we ran. the car died as soon as i got the 10th photo, so we actually got out to walk around as to see tommy come around the building in his car after us sitting in the cold for about 30 minutes.

  5. Kind Skeptic says:

    Your story sounds a little “out there”. I’m sorry Courtney, but it sounds too much like a lot of different “ghost tales” wrapped into one scenario…and unfortunately, it’s just not tracking. It seems that with all of this “ghostly activity” happening around you, the last thing anyone would want to do is “walk around”. Also, with the screaming you note from your sister, it would seem your mom would have been alerted to something and would have come running, not mention it seems you and your sister would have run to your mom straight away upon seeing these alledged apparitions. Nope Courtney, I’m afraid this is a tale that shares more about your imagination than it does facts. It seems very cliche — there’s always a “psychotic killer” who kills someone whose blood stains reappear on the anniversary of their murder each year. You managed to wrap a lot of horror movie plots and urban legends into one very disjointed tale.

    On the upside — you’re showing talent for creative thinking! ;-)

    our moms windows on the car were up, you got to remember our car died. plus, the apparitions were like everywhere, following us. we couldnt sit in the car, within it was during winter time, if we sat in the car any longer without hear we would of gotten really sick, we didnt have coats with us, only blankets. my sister and me were about 8 feet away from the car, so i think within our mom being on the phone she couldnt hear her screaming, reason we ran…

    • anna says:

              • courtney says:

                kk. wellllll my grandma’s husband and his crew went to another building that i was hoping to go to, mudlavia hotel, and they got some pics from 2008 and they have orbs, in one you can see a siloette of a persons spirit, or however you spell it.

  7. courtney says:

    Hey everyone, I am asking my mother to take me back to the Pythian Home on the 27th, that is my last day of school, so wish me luck :) , cya later. byeeeee!

  8. courtney says:

    okay everyone, i didnt go back, my mother hasnt allowed me……but wish me luck on getting her to take me and my sister back (this time my mom is stayin out front! not takin any chances of our car dying again)

  9. courtney says:

    Well I went back to the Pythian Home during night time, thing is the lights in the building do not work, and when we went up to it, there were 5 electric light blue lights shining through 5 different windows, two on the left, two on the right, and one in the middle a couple of stories about the main entrance door, thing is no one can go in, the buildings windows are boarded up and the doors are locked, so that freaked me out, alot. so im waiting till saturday 10-16-10 because im going on a investigation with some ghost trackers and not at the Pythian Home, at some of my friends’ houses because some friends have paranormal activity going on, so wish me luck <333. thank you all for leaving reviews on this whole review on the building, it was always a surprise that some people out there could read a story about an old abandoned haunted building. Hope you all are having a fun time…….Later.

    Peace-Love-Happiness,
    Courtney.

  10. Courtney says:

    Hey everyone, I am back, The Pythian Home is being torn down because of how old it is, its falling apart, but I am hoping to go there one last time before its gone, thank you all for actually reading this, it meant alot to me.
