Witnesses report a variety of things including strong pains, footsteps, seeing figures in corners of their eyes, hearing whispers, seeing a woman in a white dress along with a young boy. A grave of a young girl has pinwheels that move when no wind is present.
History
In 1905 the Northern section was started on land donated by Frederick B. Bagwell. He was the president of the cemetery association and the first burial in the cemetery. The members of the association were all Masons, they held no jurisdiction over it and the cemetery was open to "all citizenry". The following year the I.O.O.F. formed a Cemetery association, their cemetery was just south of the first cemetery with a roadway between. In 1957 the north half was turned over to the Odd Fellows making it one cemetery and a new Tolt (now Carnation) I.O.O.F. Cemetery association was formed. The City of Carnation officially took over the cemetery in 1994. The cemetery has approximately 800 plots on about 2 acres of land. Any of the death dates before 1906, were relocated to this cemetery from Pleasant Hill Cemetery, located between Carnation and Fall City.
Personal Experiences
Administrator Sean B Writes:
This was our first real investigation and we need to go back, walking from a large stone where I had just checked the battery of the video camera and saw it was almost full, I reached a spot where I felt very uneasy, not dizzy but something close to it. I looked down at the video camera again and despite not having used it and the walk taking only a few minutes, the battery wascompletely drained. We also believe we debunked at least some (if not all) of the footsteps heard by many here. There is a farm right next to the cemetery and the field is full of rabbits. As they move about, you hear rustling and what sounds like shuffling footsteps.
The grave of the young girl was very interesting and we need to investigate further. Despite no wind that night, the pinwheels moved and seemed to be used for conversation - moving in response to prompts and questions.

I grew up in Carnation, Wa. I attended Carnation Elementary, which is built adjacent to the Carnation Cemetary. I'm 23 now, but growing up, my friends and I experienced some of the phenomena mentioned. Namely, seeing figures in the corner of my eyes and then dissapearing (at the cemetary). However, this is not the reason why I felt the urge to post. It was "seeing a woman in a white dress" that compelled me to write you. I had a friend who lived on Carnation-Fall City Road, who I would hang out with and sleep over at his house on the weekends. The house is located right off the road when you're heading out of town (past Remlingers Farm, on the left, towards Fall City) and it has acres of woods behind it (leading towards Tolt River). I lived in Swiftwater housing developments and would walk over to his house (during the day, of course) and I used to get the most unsettling feeling in those woods. Anyhow, one night I was sleeping in his room (he had a bunkb...
