Workers Renovating Ted Bundy's Boyhood Home Report Supernatural Events

TACOMA, WA — Pacific Northwest serial killer Ted Bundy was put to death in a Florida prison in 1989, but his spirit might be alive inside his boyhood home in Tacoma. Contractors who recently renovated the house where Bundy began living at age 8 have reported hearing strange, ghostly noises and even received warnings (written in sawdust) to "leave" the house, according to reports.

Last September, the company Extreme Contracting was hired to renovate the home, which is located in a quiet residential neighborhood on the west side of the city near the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Casey Clopton, the owner of Extreme Contracting, told KOMO News that he got a strange vibe from the home on his second visit. He brought his young daughter there, and she asked to leave because something "didn't feel right."

After that, the strange events started to ramp up, Clopton told KOMO. Workers would hear doorknobs jiggling and "phantom footsteps." Of the 30 or so incidents the workers experienced, the strangest were the messages they found. In one bedroom the word "LEAVE" was scrawled in sawdust, and in the basement, someone spelled out "help me."

Bundy is one of the most notorious serial killers ever. He killed some 30 or more women in the 1970s, with many victims in Washington and Oregon. Bundy moved to Tacoma in 1950 with his mother. He moved into the recently renovated home in 1955 and lived there until 1965. After leaving the home, he attended the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma and later the University of Washington in Seattle.

Bundy told biographers Hugh Aynesworth and Stephen Michaud that he would wander his Tacoma neighborhood drunk and looking for open windows to spy on women.

The renovation of Bundy's boyhood home finished up in April. But Clopton told KOMO that the experience has changed him forever. Clopton now believes in the supernatural.

“That there’s something else out there, man. That’s what I think it is," he told KOMO.
