Fort Nisqually

Fort Nisqually was a Hudson Bay Trading outpost, located 40 miles south of modern day Seattle, WA, in the Pacific Northwest forest where Tanis activity occurs, in the early 1830s. If Carl Adams is correct, this time period would be right after Tanis moved to the area in 1823. In 1834 a trapper at the fort wrote a story he heard from the local Haida people about Tanis. Later the trapper wrote about a waking nightmare wherein he hears The Calm before following a ghost-like woman into the forest, and watches as she disembowels him, only to discover that he is actually the murderer and the maimed woman lies at his feet. The day after writing this entry, the fur trapper brutally massacred 9 people living at the fort.
