Ghosts and Royalty at the Maryhill Museum of Art, Klickitat County, WA

Many old and historical items in antique stores and museums are known to carry energy attachments, as each item has its own story to tell, and Maryhill Museum of Art is no exception.

This beautiful museum is celebrating its 100-year anniversary this year since its dedication by Queen Marie of Romania [1875–1938] in 1926.

The mansion was meant to be the home of the well-educated and accomplished businessman Samuel Hill [1857–1931] and his family, but construction was stopped in 1917, only three years after the building began, due to many obstacles.

Loie Fuller [1862–1928], an American dancer and a friend of Samuel Hill, convinced Samuel to turn the mansion into a museum. After the death of Loie, Samuel, Queen Marie, and Alma de Bretteville Spreckels [1881–1968], a socialite and friend of Samuel and Loie, helped finish the building, and the museum opened its doors on May 13, 1940, on Samuel Hill's birthday.

Just as there are many exhibits and items from all over the world in the museum, there is a "smorgasbord" of different ghosts there, going in and out, according to Psychic Medium Jennifer Von Behren.

There is also much residual energy inside and outside the building from people partying.

Jennifer sees an older woman dressed in black, with black hair pulled back and buttoned-up shoes, in the main-level hallway by the stairs leading down. Based on her facial features, distinct eyes, and appearance, Jennifer believes it to be Loie Fuller. She is there to maintain and moderate things, keeping everyone in order. She feels very "frisky," and she is very much attached to the building. Her connections to many great artists helped build the core of the museum's collection.

Jennifer also sees a smiling little girl with fluffy, darker hair that is pinned back a little.

Someone is showing Jennifer cars, and Loie Fuller was saying, kiddingly, that the ramps were built for "showing off."

Samuel Hill loved automobiles and thought they were going to be important in the future, as he was an advocate of paved roads. He wanted the ramps on both ends of the mansion so visitors could drive straight to the front door.

Loie Fuller was also saying something about secret passages so people could get around without being seen. I was told there were none, so maybe they were meant to be built but never were.

In the Théâtre de la Mode area, Jennifer can hear someone moving things around.

The basement level has a lot of activity, according to Jennifer.

You can already feel the energy simply by looking at the pictures of the Native American artifact areas. I got two EVPs from there. One had a male and female spirit responding, and the other had a male spirit.

When I go over pictures to post, I sometimes connect with whoever answered me while I was there. The energy in the picture with an old woman with baskets was so strong that I had to move on to another picture.

Jennifer can see this old woman standing in two areas in the basement. She is very attached to some of the items, but she is not much of a talker.

There is a male and a female Native American in another large room with baskets. In the room next to that, Jennifer sees a white male spirit wearing a uniform.

In a picture that has shoes and weapons, the energy is very strong, and Jennifer feels that the axe has a lot of blood attached to it. She feels that it was not used only as a tool.

In the area with all the chess pieces, someone was telling Jennifer about playing with their son.

In the outside picture of the mansion above the museum entrance, there is a balcony where Jennifer sees a man and a woman standing. Jennifer believes that the male spirit is the man in the uniform painting of Tsar Nicholas II and that the woman is Queen Marie. There are many royal items from Romania in the museum, including personal belongings. The gown on display is what Queen Marie wore to the coronation of her cousin, Nicholas II.

In the basement, by the Native American items, Jennifer can hear kids playing, and someone is saying they are a princess. It is connected to the tribe. They are showing Jennifer areas by the water where they kept being booted over and over when they just wanted to stay in one place.

This museum is a must-see, not only because of all the incredible items but also for the view. Be sure to check out the replica of Stonehenge four miles away as well—yet another creation of Samuel Hill.

Samuel Hill was a dreamer, and thanks to his vision and supportive friends, Maryhill Museum of Art exists today.
