This historic station is falling apart, and is long past its former glory. However, one exciting aspect remains. Passer-by’s driving through late at night have seen a ghostly train heading straight for them which vanishes suddenly and reappears on the other side of the railroad crossing.

I have lived in kent all my life and never ever heard of this I know the building well it’s been there abandoned forever but no ghost trains…
I live in the building overlooking this site. Yes it is extremely haunted. I’m on my phone right now but if you would like some more information please email me. I’m a clairvoyant among other things and have felt their presence as well as this is the first time in my life seeing ghosts. My 5 year old has seen them as well. I do not like living here at all. There are many lost souls attached to the trains as they go by, the real trains. I grew up in auburn hearing these haunted trains and have always known this to be haunted. It’s a feeling I’ve had deep in my gut for as long as I can remember. Kent is also haunted as this was the original dumping site for the Green River Killer. It gives me chills.
I agree! I lived in a very haunted house just a few blocks away!
Where do you live? Like what neighborhood ..
I’ve never been to the station itself but I’ve lived in Kent since 2000. I live very close to the station. I’ve had personal experiences with the ghost train multiple times. I’d love to check out the station but not sure how since I’m in a wheelchair. I’m not clairvoyant but I do have other abilities & gifts. Pls keep in touch.
went here with my friends. if we found the right place, it’s not abandoned. it’s been repurposed as a bike shop. please update because my friends hate me for wasting their time
I work at this bike shop. The building has been partitioned into many different areas over the years. The bike shop occupies maybe 15% of the space in the building. Some areas are dilapidated with water damage and condemned (for safety reasons) in a couple areas. The silos are filled with pigeon shit and it’s hard to stomach over the stench of stale ammonia riddled air. I have explored the building, unusually shaped rooms, doors in weird spots and it’s pretty creepy. Abandoned artist lofts. People have lived, and squatted in areas of the building. A previous tenant (in a different area of the building, zoned for business but would occasionally sleep there) never made any mention of any unusual activity. Once when I was getting some stuff from storage, I left the door open and had a path cleared (for another quick trip) minutes later after returning the door to storage was shut, locked, and a rather heavy box was moved in front of the door. It’s dark and has a solid cement foundation, so it’s always cold. THIS IS NOT A PUBLIC BUILDING AND WE DON’T DO TOURS OF IT. Maybe I’ll do a walk thru tour on video sometime.
would you know the fate of this building if any?
I think you guys are talking about 2 different places. No silos. This is the old train station. My mom used to work there (about 40 years ago). I don’t have any info as to whether or not it’s haunted, but the ghost train makes sense due to all the deaths that have occurred on those tracks.
