Interview with Laura Lorton Part 1
In August of 2020 while filming the documentary Sullivan Creek Sasquatch we sat down with Laura Lorton at the location of most of her research over many years.
I was battling the wind that day and was using two microphones and two cameras. Laura tells her story of what she saw, heard and found while researching in the Pend Oreille County area.
Adam Davies leads the interview with Laura Lorton.

Ghosts of Minnehaha Park
Minnehaha Park
This is also considered one of the most haunted places in Spokane and on the news several times.
The stone building located in the heart of the park was the original summer home of a lawyer named Edgar Webster. He had discovered mineral springs there in the 19th century and opened up a spa. He named it “Minnehaha “ which is the Sioux word for “waterfall” or “laughing water”.
The spa was also considered to be a resort with dance halls, tennis courts, etc. The mineral waters were also excellent for making beer. It was later transformed into the Union Brewing and Malting Company by John G. F. Heiber.
The building not only has been a spa, brewery but even a bordello and was on the edge of the city and considered a perfect location for Spokane’s more colorful activities and had a wild reputation. It was also a site of a major movie production studios between 1918 and 1924 before the city of Spokane developed it as a park.
There are a lot of urban legends about the ghosts in the park and the ghosts are very well documented. They have been seen there for 100 years.
Some say the building used to be an orphanage and all the unwanted children were taken out back and murdered and some left to starve to death. Others believe there was a fire in the building and three children were killed. There was a fire but there is no records to verify that there ever was an orphanage or children died in the fire.
Reguardless, children ghosts haunt Minnehaha. There are reports that often late at night you’ll still hear tiny laughs and playing and running along the walks even if you’re the only one in the park. Footsteps and giggling are also heard throughout the park. Their presence in the park remains a mystery which has also earned the name “Mini HaHa”. In the original resort it was mentioned they had swings and croquet set up for the children. Reports of hauntings are still occurring to this day and have been over a hundred years.

The 1,000 Steps
1,000 Steps
This is considered one of the most haunted places in Spokane and is on the news every October.
“1,000 Steps” at Greenwood Cemetery is at Spokane’s oldest public burial site. The people that built Spokane are buried here, a long with a lot of historical figures.
There are tunnels still underneath the cemetery left over from the Great Northern Railroad that kids in the 70’s tried to go searching in for a good scare but entrances are now blocked off and covered with brush.
In 1898 the Elks Lodge purchased land from the cemetery for the Elks members to have their own burial grounds. A twelve -crypt private mausoleum with a bronze elk figure on top, bronze gates and bronze clock with bronze hands frozen at 11 o’ clock, a tradition for Elks to honor their death on the eleventh hour was built and a long set of stairs where the street car stopped leading up to the mausoleum.
At some point the Elks were in debt and sold all the bronze off the mausoleum including the elk on top and abandon the burial area. This abandonment of the order’s fallen, and their once illustrious resting place is widely considered the source of the haunting and angry Elks members.
Many people believe ghosts and spirits guard the staircase, preventing people from reaching to the top. According to local legend, if you walk up the stairs without any lights on you will see the faces of men, women and children when you reach the top. Those brave enough will also hear the shrieks and cries of the dead.
They claim the disfigured stairway ripped itself apart to ward off unwanted guests when referring to the way the steps are broken off.
It’s really only 60 steps or so but dubbed the “1,000 Steps” because nobody can make it to the top, according to legend.
Unfortunately, a site of satanic rituals, witchcraft and graffiti in an otherwise gorgeous cemetery filled with beautiful headstones over a hundred years old, terraced on the 3 levels of a hill. That is the only spot that is graffitied in the entire cemetery and I’m sure they get tired of cleaning it. It is also supposed to have heavy security at night to prevent the stair climbers so we took our chances during the day. It is considered to be very haunted and hauntings continue to get reported every year just in the cemetery alone.

Operation Sound: Trout Lake
Got a few vocalizations while leaving my recorder at Trout Lake. All the audio is far off. I did my best to boost them. Strongly recommend headphones to hear them clearly. All audio was between 12-4 am.
