Ghostly stuff
The King of Horror Stephen King was inexplicably drawn to this Tudor Gothic-style mansion, which served as the setting of his scripted miniseries Rose Red. Charles Thorne, one of the three founders of the port of Tacoma, spent four years building the extravagant 54-room castle, completing it in 1911. He’s said to haunt his old room, unscrewing light bulbs and making frequent appearances to guests. Thorne’s wife Anna reportedly appears in the bridal suite gazing down at the gardens, while her reflection has been spotted in a vintage mirror.
