Summary

What do sea monsters, haunted ships, and a creepy high school gym have in common? They’re just a few of the eerie stops featured on the spine-tingling tours led by Chris Staudinger—owner, operator, and lead guide of Pretty Gritty Tours in Tacoma, Washington. In this episode, Chris takes us on a virtual journey through the haunted corners and forgotten history of “Gritty City,” where ghost stories and local lore lurk around every turn. From the misty trails of Point Defiance Park, said to be haunted by a young spirit, to the shadowy halls of the Foss Seaport, Tacoma’s past is anything but quiet. And just down the road in Bucoda—a town with a population barely over 500—you’ll find a haunted 1939 gymnasium and its most unsettling resident: a doll named Abby. These aren’t just ghost stories—they’re the restless echoes of a past that refuses to stay buried. This is Part Two of our conversation.
