Explore Oregon like never before—visit its most haunted locations that are open to the public.
Whether you love to travel, are fascinated by the paranormal, or both, get ready to tour Oregon in a totally new way! Ghost Hunting Oregon guides you to 28 fascinating and historic places—from hotels and theaters to cemeteries, lighthouses, and museums. Every featured location is publicly accessible, and here’s the catch: Every place is reportedly home to restless spirits!
Join Donna Stewart on a paranormal investigation to discover the creepiest corners of the Beaver State. Read the author’s account of her visit to each site and learn about its history—as well as the ghosts said to reside there. Then grab your gear and hit the road as you visit each location first-hand. Photographs bring these unforgettable destinations to life, while addresses, websites (when available), directions, and practical visiting information help you plan your own haunted adventure. Donna’s tips and suggestions allow you to maximize the enjoyment of each experience.
From Portland’s famously haunted Benson Hotel to coastal legends surrounding the Heceta Head Lighthouse, from the strange forces of the Oregon Vortex to ghostly tales echoing through Bend’s Old St. Francis School, this book presents eerie hideaways that even lifelong Oregonians might not know about. Part travel guide and part fireside read, Ghost Hunting Oregon puts you in the middle of the state’s haunted history. Pack your curiosity (and maybe a flashlight) and experience Oregon in a unique way that you’ll never forget.
