Reportedly haunted locations in Oregon


There are a number of widely reported haunted locations in the U.S. state of Oregon. Reported hauntings in the state are linked to such historic places as the Oregon Trail and early coastal communities, as well as the gritty history of Portland, the state's largest city and metropolitan area, which was considered the most dangerous port city in the world at the turn of the 20th century. In 2012, USA Today named Portland among the top ten most haunted cities in the United States.

Reportedly haunted locales in Portland include the Bagdad Theater, a vaudeville theater built by Universal Studios in 1927, which is reportedly haunted by a maintenance man who committed suicide in the building; , a mansion overlooking the city that is reportedly haunted by its original owners; the Roseland Theater, a former church and music venue that is haunted by a club promoter who was murdered there; and, perhaps most widely reported, the city's shanghai tunnels, made up of various passages that run beneath the streets of northwest Portland that were used to smuggle prostitutes and sailors onto ships in the port, where they were often sold into slavery or forced labor. The shanghai tunnels have been widely reported on as one of the state's most haunted locations, and were featured on The Travel Channel's documentary series Ghost Adventures.

Other sites widely reported to be haunted include the Hot Lake Hotel in Union; the Multnomah County Poor Farm in Troutdale; Rhododendron Village, a stop along the Oregon Trail near Mt. Hood; and the Welches Roadhouse, where a pregnant woman jumped to her death.
