Haunts in<br />

P<br />

ortland<br />

Portland is said to be one of the most haunted cities in the<br />

nation. Stories of paranormal activity wallow in each of<br />

these historic landmarks.<br />

THE HEATHMAN HOTEL<br />

Each room that makes up the “03” column from top<br />

to bottom floors has been cited for paranormal activity<br />

of the mysteriously-moved-object sort.<br />

BENSON HOTEL<br />

At least three friendly ghosts are said to roam the<br />

historic hotel, performing random acts of kindness.<br />

LONE FIR PIONEER<br />

CEMETERY<br />

Alongside many of Portland’s most prominent<br />

grave sites lie 10,000 unmarked graves. Spooky<br />

tours are available monthly.<br />

PITTOCK MANSION<br />

Inexplicable noises, apparitions and a portrait with<br />

a mind of its own of original owner, Henry Pittock,<br />

put this beautifully restored Portland icon in the mix.<br />

WITCHES CASTLE<br />

IN FOREST PARK<br />

A Romeo and Juliet story that culminated in a brutal<br />

murder, and the subsequent hanging of the murderer<br />

(the first in Oregon after it became a territory),<br />

is a reasonable basis for ghosts. Spirits of those<br />

involved in the family feud are said to still occupy<br />

this piece of land, formerly their personal property.<br />
