The Demon House of Seattle – Revisit
Here is another interview with Keith in regards to his house which has been dubbed the Demon House of Seattle. It’s presented by ParanormalZoneTV, and comes well after the investigation by Zak and Ghost Adventures. Keith is joined by Karissa, but it’s best to gloss over her portion of the program as she’s not helping to give credence and credibility to the claims.
Keith does bring up valid points about the Ghost Adventures investigation. First, the slant of the show was to make it seem like Tina was responsible for the events in the house. Second, anyone who dismisses or agrees with paranormal activity simply because of Zak needs to check themselves. Let’s just take a step back for a moment. Zak is in no way a scientist or even using scientific methods. He is a former DJ who paired up with a photographer to create his show. He claims to have the powers of a sensitive, powers he developed over his career.
His job is to entertain, to dramatize, to generate interest, to gain an audience and to get renewed for another season. His truth is relative and if a haunting sells, that’s what you’re going to see. And if no haunting sells, that’s what you’re going to see.
From that angle, anyone who says Zak did a great job by discrediting this house or that it only improves his credibility as an investigator is buying into the marketing machine.
To that end, let’s have a look at the evidence that Keith has on file. First of all, everything we see is after the fact. There are pictures of his office in disarray, symbols and numbers painted on the wall, kitchen drawers open, scissors and cross shoved into the wall, a burned bible and chairs put on top of tables. However, there is nothing showing these events in progress. There is no physical evidence of phones being thrown, of plants levitating, or numbers being drawn through inhuman means.
The rebuttal is that the spirit energy is capable of draining the cameras, cutting off the power, blanking out the video so it’s action can’t be seen and all sorts of other trickery to hide it’s methods.
Even though the 666 that we saw in the final cut of Ghost Adventures was one of several messages that were left on the same door, it was never able to be captured. Keith would get a message, paint the door, then another would appear in the same place. This happened several times, in the same place, but couldn’t be captured.
Karissa claims that when she first entered the house, her phone was thrown. The same thing happened to the UK investigators. It happened a third time when someone else came to investigate the house. The expected behavior when you came over to the house was to have your phone thrown, but yet it can’t be captured.
Fair enough, maybe the cameras don’t always work, but the investigators are able to record everyone walking around their sensors after they’ve gone off. Keith is able to detect motion in his house and get an email, but nothing is capable of capturing a single image of these events taking place.
It’s stated hundreds of EVPs have been captured. Ok, fair enough, that could be worth something, however, simply because you capture a voice doesn’t mean it’s from beyond the grave. A captured voice alone is not proof of the paranormal. A voice on a recorder can be duplicated in hundreds of different ways. Who’s to say that voice isn’t coming from outside? Who’s to say it’s not from a radio or television? Who’s to say it’s not being picked as interference from another device? Who’s to say it’s not a fragment from a baby monitor or phone call?
If you knew nothing of the paranormal claims and were shown the evidence, you would immediately think Keith is the victim of some terrible and senseless acts of vandalism. You would believe you were being shown photos for an insurance claim. However, showing pictures of open kitchen cabinets is not proof of the paranormal. Showing pictures of a broken chair on a desk is not evidence of the paranormal. Even a picture of a burnt bible is nothing more than evidence of a ruined bible.
One thing that I did find off about the interview, is Keith had a small fire break out in the house. I believe a poster or something similar caught on fire while he was getting ready for work. He’s unable to get out of the house because he couldn’t open the door. Later, Keith says the entities in the house aren’t malicious and he has nothing to worry about. I find that to be an odd contradiction if I heard it correctly.
I have no idea what’s going on in Keith’s house because clearly I’m not there and haven’t experienced it. However, the over the top claims and the evidence presented don’t match up. With the constant level of activity going on and with the technology available, you would expect quite a bit more in the way of tangible or visible evidence.
Bob Cranmer has the same situation on his hands. He has a house plagued with activity, like CDs being thrown with such force they shatter. It happens over and over again, yet there is nothing that proves these events actually took place, only the aftermath. Sure, he wrote stuff down in his journal, he took notes, he has pictures, but since this has gone on for years, it all seems pretty inconclusive. He did get a book out of the deal with plenty of people decrying the eternal battle between good and evil.
Comments have been made that the paranormal is like lightning and you can’t capture lighting. Um, yes you can.
The point being, anyone can run around their house, open drawers, throw plants on the floor, put chairs on the desk, do as they like with the crucifix, take pictures and declare the paranormal. People can run around in the dark, scratch themselves and declare they were touch by a demon. That doesn’t make it so.
Have a look and decide for yourself.

teams within the US, UK and Scotland have come and researched the house some call to good to be true. Truth is always stranger than fiction and with the mass amount of evidence from teams and most from me those who are left believing this is a hoax to me are victims of their disbelief system.

House Occupant
Idiots. Video evidence of items being tossed is available. Said videos were even aired during an episode of Ghost Adventures so fuck you.Oh and how would you explain local clergy trying to bless and cleanse the home?
This house is not haunted I’m a medium and I know what’s going on here. I feel sorry for the people doing this it’s obviously a cry for help. Just not the kinda help me or anyone connected to paranormal activitie can give

Two things I want to reveal before I answer your questions Gabriel and Damion’s. #1 You loose the debate when you resort to vulgar and curse words. It reveals you might be GAC fan which means you drink the Kool-Aide Ghost Adventure i.e. Zak Bagan’s feed you. GA is a TV show. It’s a paranormal show. Its entertainment and the methods they use are not scientific. 2nd reveal. Several clergy men and woman have been to the house. Have blessed and cleansed the house to no-avail. Strong infestations are usually hard to get rid of, especially on the 1st go around. DAMION The word haunted is a relative term but I’m going to go out on a limp and say the house was haunted prior to us moving in, the house was haunted the 4 years while we lived there, and the house is still haunted. Anyone with an ounce of curiosity simply has to follow the facts. Follow the updates, I and others have provided about this guess. Not guesses. Not innuendo. Not Ghost Adventure zealots. Not GA fans run amok. Follow the facts and updates. if you’re still SOS on this being made up, or a hoax then not much can be said about you accept to u really need to raise your understanding about: Poltergeist, Intelligent and Localized Hauntings in conjunction scientific evidence. I dare not waste anyone’s time with a hoax or lie. I’m just sharing an experience that earlier this was finally substantiated. HAVE A GREAT DAY. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHSqIuRhJdY
Lmao this guy
I want to see the evidence of the other paranormal ‘experts’ that shows the evidence of haunting. If you are going to call GA crew fake, you better show your proof. Your words mean nothing without proof.
Hello Juanita
Several US teams and UK’s Steve Mera and Don Philips investigated the house. The US team lived in the house for 3 weeks. The UK team lived in the house for 2 weeks. Conducting 18 hrs investigations per day. The evidence is all over . Email me, state your name and I’ll make sure you get the evidence. I’ve compiled the evidence on my youtube channel, Twitter, and facebook page. Other web sites are in the works of being put up to make this evidence accessible to anyone and everyone. No-one upon reviewing the evidence, the evidence that alluded Zak and crew can say with all honesty my claim and Tina’s claim is false. We never lied. GA was just inept. Instead of trying to label us hoaxers they should have just said what this viewer said today after watching the episode: “It was really unfortunate that a mainstream show like Ghost Adventures came up empty handed. Every expert and / or individual with personal experience being haunted knows that spirit activity is rarely consistent on a 24/7 basis. They were there on a quiet night.” hope to hear from you soon.
What were the markingd on the wall.made of? I saw something about it in a picture on the FB pages but i couldnt find the answer. Was an analysis done on the black stuff on the walls? If so what were the findings? Was it paint? Pencil? Ink? Just wondering
Good question. We ( as in local Seattle teams) found out last week.

I’ve seen ZERO evidence of a haunting going on here. I think ol’ Keith is bucking for a book deal. HAHAHAHA lmao
Face it Keith, you brought a nationally syndicated high profile show out there in the hopes that they would “fabricate” bumps in the night to save their episode (that you had wasted their time on) and thus further your cause and hasten your “payday “. Clearly this is NOT what happened. The GA team held true to their values and professional standards of credibility and called BS on your fake haunting. Now what??!
I applaud you David on your inability to locate the evidence. It’s pretty much all over the internet. My channel. My Facebook. And on the Web sites of other paranormal teams who cams to the house before and after GA.. Your inept to objectivity is surely noted and quite laughable.
I think the writing on the walls in the house should be analyzed. It seems like some kind of burnt carbon type substance. It is not spray paint from what I could tell. Never thought you weren’t for real!
Hi Shannon
Actually you thinking its carbon based is actually quite close. I ran a test on the wall substance last year. We’ve determined the substance is bone black. A carbon based paint substance is bone material, scorched bone – cow, buffalo or elephant. We believe cow or buffalo based on the region. More of how that came about is listed in the link below.
I welcome all questions and thanks
Keith Linder
Hi Keith I was fortunate to see a talk by Steve Mera on your case two days ago. Steve’s evidence was very convincing. I don’t think you would have put yourself through all that has happened to seek attention or to make a fast buck.
Thanks Fred
It’s unfortunate some people think that. It’s become cliche for some to think the only reason why people report such claims is for get a quick buck. Equal to that for some to think just because one investigation team (that would be Zak and crew ) leave with zero evidence means we fakes it all). Both are untrue.
Our claims are real. All of it happened and Steve Mera and Don Philips gathered evidence beneficial to the paranormal community for years to come.
Many thanks
I have myself worked on a high profile poltergeist case here in the UK and yes there were alot of quiet periods inbetween activity (The GCA could of hit on that lull in activity) . I am still very much unsure about your case and obviously need to delve a little deeper into it. Fascinating story that’s for sure.
The teachable moment that was missed with this case were GA is concerned is “not every investigation yields evidence, the first time around. 2nd missed teachable moment was GA failing to mention how hard, how time consuming it is to investigate a potential Poltergeist haunting. Now GA had enough info prior to arrival. They arrived a month after learning of the activity. Zak would have proved his weight in gold had he had parapsychologists arrive on the scene with him. Better yet an individual more experienced with “Geist” like hauntings. They had enough info to make that call before hand. They chose not to. Thats on them. Other teams have come before and after GA and have compiled tons of evidence. Some even lived in the house for three weeks. Some for two weeks. Instead making themselves appear inept GA tried to make me and Tina appear as if we were hoaxing, attention seeking or over exaggerating. All three are un-true. My role and goal right now is to make as much information available as possible. Individuals who wrote this case off based on the episode or coming back doing a second look and in doing so are understanding this case has all the trappings of a true Poltergeist incident. GA should’ve known that on day one.
Hi I’ve watched your episode on ghost adventures a few times and just recently wanted to Google any updates.which brought me to this page.how are things going?are you still dealing with the demonic hauntings ?have you found someone to help you with your haunting? It would be great to see new evidence .
The point being, anyone can run around their house, open drawers, throw plants on the floor, put chairs on the desk, do as they like with the crucifix, take pictures and declare the paranormal. People can run around in the dark, scratch themselves and declare they were touch by a demon. That doesn’t make it so.
Keith, I hope you still check this. I saw the episode of ghost adventures and the first thing I thought was that they didn’t spend enough time there. I see where you’ve mentioned 2 and even week investigations. Are there videos/shows/episodes that these crews documented? I’m not convinced the haunting is fake or real yet, I would like to see more and see what these teas found? Could you reply with a link?

Hello Tyler
find me on YouTube “Keith L” email me and I’ll send you the evidence.
Destiny Reed email me on YouTube and Gmail and I will send you the evidence. This forum makes it hard to share because it prevents URLs and links.
Stevo? get out of the denial category. This case was busted wide open over a year ago, with overwhelming evidence.
I think you need to move and let someone else live there, or move out for a couple of months, and see if anything happens, because this much activity will not stop no matter who is living there… I would like to say this though whoever burnt God and Jesus word will face Gods wrath. Ghost Adventures did do a wonderful job and was very professional unlike other paranormal shows or people who are ridiculous. They still give you the benefit of the doubt..
Hello Carey
I moved out the house May 2016. Certain phenomena’s still take place at my new place of residence. 1.) water puddles. 2.) bed shakes, sheet tugs and 3.) poking and prodding while sleeping. Still way less than when I lived in the Bothell home. More info about the case can be found at the link below or by emailing me. I welcome all questions
