‘Occult rituals’ and ‘Witchcraft’ reported at home where five people were killed outside of Seattle

A woman whose Washington home became the site of a mass stabbing that left five dead filed a protective order claiming occult activity was happening at the property last year, according to reports.

In April 2025, the woman who lived in the property filed the order claiming her son, who lived with her, had been conducting "occult rituals" and "witchcraft" at the home.
