Lewis Army Museum and Puget Sound Haunts
The Fort Lewis Military Museum, now the Lewis Army Museum, is a revered (and haunted) stalwart of Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, WA. In 1918 it was the ‘Red Shield Inn.’ An actor apparently died when filming the 1927 film ‘The Patent Leather Kid’ on this site. It is believed that he was murdered on the 2nd floor.
