Astoria - Liberty Theater

Old movie theater said to be haunted by a woman who is mainly seen in the upstairs women's bathroom, wearing Victorian era clothing. Is usually visible when looking at yourself in the mirror. She likes to stand behind you and look into the mirror as well. But when you turn around, she's gone. Reports from former managers of popcorn being made when they open up, and the soda fountain running. The managers were always the first to arrive and the last to leave. Supposedly a man was murdered in the downstairs bathroom, and another was pushed off the balcony as well. The theater was closed in 1998 for renovation. It is now a performing arts theater.


Baker City - Baker Hotel

Reports of parties on the second floor, especially in one room. Ladies of the evening are showing their ghostly appearance coming down the long stairway.


Bend - Congress house

Many people have seen ghosts that inhabit this house that is from the turn of the century. In fact, there have been a few families that have lived there that have either died or something tragic has happened to them due to living in the cursed house.


Bend - Old smoke stacks

teensagers sneak in there at night to see if it is really haunted and it is said that there are ghosts walking around and moving things.


Bend - Yardley estates

In the forest of the Yardley estates their is noises heard in the forests and some times if your playing games in the forest things will growl deeper then even a bear. Also you can hear footsteps coming near to you with no one there to make them.


Cannon Beach - The Argonutua Beach House

Some people claim that this beach house is haunted by the ghost of Ghengis Hansel, a man who mysteriously disappeared there after the storm in 1952. People who have stayed in the house have felt a foreboding presence, especially around the many secret doors and compartments, all of which are locked tightly shut.


Cave Junction - Oregon Caves National Monument

The Oregon Caves Chateau has a ghost named Elizabeth that roams through the rooms and halls. The story goes that she hung herself on her wedding night after catching her husband with another woman. She has been seen roaming the halls at night.


Corvallis - Cheldelin Middle School

A janitor died from a heart attack in the upstairs gym. When the doors are shut and locked, he can be heard whistling, pushing his broom, the sound of his keys jingling as he walks. The lights mysteriously turn on by themselves.


Damascus - Old Pioneer Cemetery

The Old Pioneer Cemetary in Damascus, Oregon is crawling with eerie ghost activity. Many strange sounds as well as shadows can be seen and heard whenever visited. Talk to anyone who has ever taken pictures there and they will all say that their film had at least a few extra visitors floating around in it.


Eugene - French Immersion School

Reports of a weird presence, lights turn on and off at random times, a man seen walking through the handicap gym, when no ones there, doors opening, everything always looks abandoned as if nothings been touched for years.


Eugene River side

Another excellent entry to our haunted places in Oregon section submitted by Jamie and remains un-altered:

My Ex hubby and I used to scuba dive.. and we would always find new places to dive and search and explore. well our neighbor Dan said that there was a place that ppl were going to to dive and such but if we were caught then we would probobly be kicked off the land.

well we went anyways a few times until one day when we were diving, I felt something wasnt right like we needed to leave I walked over to this portion of dirt right next to the river and way deep below the clay side of the river I found arrow heads. not uncommon to find they are STILL all over oregon.

I picked up the arrowhead and was about to tell my ex what id found and this figure was standing in front of me. a darkish shadow but visible and clear, it was an indian chief. he said nothing but I felt he wanted us gone he didnt scare me but I felt an energy of respect like, we were invading in a place we were NOT supposed to be. We hauled ass outta there and I did some research as to why in Gods green earth I saw an indian there of all places.

apparently we were diving next to an indian burial ground our stuff was sitting on grave sites. we were litterally dis respecting the graves of indians. Not good and we never went back.

As strong as the feeling of love I have for the man in my life is as strong as the energy of respect for this chief I was looking at was flowing thru me it was a freckin trip like I said, we hauled ass outta there and never went back ever. Out of respect for the Living Indians as well as the honor and respect for the non living ones, I shall only say the location was along one of the rivers north of Eugene Oregon. And ask that all who read this, respect them as well and do not try to find it.

But they are very real and I hope that my story will prove that as well as give new honor to the tribes who died and lived in this state.
