Fort Vancouver National Historic Site was headquarters for the Hudson Bay Company. Established in 1825, the trading post was essential to fur commerce along the Pacific Coast. In 1866, a fire destroyed the Fort and it was not rebuilt until 1965. Today, visitors today can view modern replica structures within the original fort footprint. Over the years, "paranormal phenomena have been reported here" including "strange glowing mists that move above the grounds". In 1993, a Native American exorcism was allegedly performed "to calm the restless spirits". Address: 1001 East 5th Street. Vancouver, WA.
