Dundee, Oregon · Historic house
Argyle’s own account names its resident spirit Lena. Former employees describe a glass sliding across the old wine bar, and founder Rollin Soles recounts a repairman’s claim that his toolbox lifted and spilled its contents. Perfume and whispered sounds are also associated with the historic Imus house, now called Spirithouse.
Portland, Oregon · Theater
Bagdad’s backstage and women’s powder room are the two places most often singled out in its ghost lore. Haunted Places associates the backstage presence with a man said to have died there; a second, unnamed presence is linked to the restroom. The source offers a haunting reputation rather than a verified biography.
Klamath Falls, Oregon · Other
Haunted Places contributor Tyler reports sightings associated with photographer Maud Baldwin and other former occupants. The museum’s ghost stories include unusual lights and sounds, with figures or shadows visible through windows when the building is closed.
Portland, Oregon · Hotel
Simon Benson is the name attached to an apparition on the hotel’s stairs and lower floors. Haunted Places contributor Callum Swift also recounts a helpful night porter who disappears after assisting guests, plus sightings of a woman in white and a young boy in the halls.
Salem, Oregon · Historic house
Eugenia Bush is the daughter most often named in the house’s ghost stories. Haunted Places describes an apparition attributed to her and says staff blame the presence for turning up the heat through the air-conditioning controls. Other reported experiences include shadows, cold patches and women’s voices.
Yoncalla, Oregon · Historic house
The Applegate family home carries a family-centered haunting tradition. Callum Swift’s Haunted Places account places figures identified as Charles, his wife and some of their children upstairs, while a woman in white and a man wearing loose trousers are said to appear in the downstairs parlor.
Hood River, Oregon · Hotel
Haunted Places contributor Callum Swift describes rooms inexplicably barricaded from within and cigar smoke where nobody is smoking. The hotel’s reported figures include a formally dressed man, a woman associated with Room 330 and a child near the former pool area.
Portland, Oregon · Theater
After the audience has gone, staff accounts collected by Haunted Places describe the sound of a crowd still talking inside the empty ballroom. Following footsteps, elevators apparently traveling without passengers and figures entering rooms before disappearing complete its after-hours reputation.
Chemult, Oregon · Hotel
The Dawson House stories are unusually room-specific. Haunted Places contributor Callum Swift associates a woman in an old-fashioned dress, voices and cold patches with the Trupp Room. In the Jessup Room, guests reportedly find the television behaving oddly and feel someone join them in bed. A running child and a figure glimpsed in mirrors round out the lodge’s lore.
Gold Hill, Oregon · Hotel
Del Rio’s own account describes a long-haired woman in a dark Victorian dress seen on the property and traditionally called Hattie Haymond. The winery also corrects a revealing mistake: the old portrait long displayed as Hattie actually depicts her sister Fidelia. The apparition’s identity remains part of the lore, even as the portrait’s identity has been corrected.
Bend, Oregon · Other
Museum lore names a mischievous presence George. In the Haunted Places account submitted by Callum Swift, objects are moved or disappear, and a pale, mist-like figure travels the hall after hours. The report connects George with a man who died in 1914 without independently establishing that identification.
Elgin, Oregon · Theater
The Opera House’s legend is a repeating duel: two men appear on the front steps, fire at each other and collapse, supposedly still fighting over the same woman. Haunted Places places the original quarrel in the nineteenth century, a chronology that conflicts with the present building’s later construction and should be treated as folklore.
Salem, Oregon · Theater
Elsinore lore gives its balcony and men’s restroom especially uneasy reputations. Haunted Places recounts a reflection resembling blood in a restroom mirror and a girl said to linger near the upper balcony. Stories explain them through alleged deaths, but those explanations are not established by the cited account.
Eugene, Oregon · Cemetery
A contributor named Robert reported to Haunted Places that a cemetery visit produced voices on recordings and an unexplained scent of perfume. The brief firsthand-style report does not name a spirit or tie the experience to a particular grave.
Astoria, Oregon · Historic house
The museum’s stories are musical and domestic: phantom music and voices downstairs, flowers smelled in a bedroom without a visible source, and a woman upstairs who vanishes when approached. In the account submitted to Haunted Places by Callum Swift, another figure is identified as Captain George Flavel and disappears through the bedroom floor.
Warrenton, Oregon · Other
A young man carrying a flashlight is said to patrol near Battery Russell, still searching for enemy soldiers. Haunted Places also records a uniformed figure carrying a long knife, unexpected cold patches and unexplained sounds around the former military site.
Baker City, Oregon · Hotel
At the Geiser Grand, the best-known stories attach personalities to rooms and staircases. Haunted Places describes a Lady in Blue drifting up the stairs and activity in Room 302 associated with former resident Maybelle Geiser, said to rearrange jewelry and help herself to guests’ snacks. Other reported figures include a dancer and a young girl.
Portland, Oregon · Hotel
The Heathman’s stories cluster in rooms ending in 03. Haunted Places highlights Room 703, where guests report used towels, furniture moved and drinking water disappearing, and Room 803, where a figure supposedly stood at the foot of a bed. A tragic explanation links the floors, but remains hotel lore.
Near Florence and Yachats, Oregon · Historic house
On Oregon’s coast, the Heceta Head keeper’s house offers overnight rooms and a long-lived story about Rue, a presence associated with the attic and guest rooms. It is the house—not simply the nearby lighthouse tower—that anchors this haunting tradition.
Hood River, Oregon · Hotel
A former owner is blamed in local hotel lore for footsteps with no visible walker, calls apparently coming from an unattended reception desk and doors moving by themselves. The account published by Haunted Places contributor Callum Swift supplies no confirmed identity for the supposed resident.
La Grande, Oregon · Hotel
The old resort and hospital has a reputation for sounds coming from rooms that should be empty. Haunted Places recounts screams from the former hospital wing, indistinct voices and sightings associated with earlier patients and a gardener. These are recurring paranormal accounts rather than verified identities.
Condon, Oregon · Hotel
Hotel Condon’s reported visitor wears clothing from the 1880s. Guests’ tales collected by Haunted Places contributor Callum Swift also mention unexplained sounds, lights switching themselves and sudden cold areas, without attaching a confirmed name to the woman.
Newport, Oregon · Hotel
During the Sylvia Beach Hotel era, guests reported cold patches even in summer and a shadow figure appearing in bedrooms at night. Haunted Places contributor Callum Swift also describes a feeling of an unseen presence. These are accounts attached to the historic hotel, before its later renovation and rebranding.
Jacksonville, Oregon · Hotel
The inn’s reputed ghost has strong opinions about manners. In the Haunted Places account submitted by Callum Swift, a stern elderly woman in period clothing walks the corridors and occasionally appears in the dining area to scold guests whose table etiquette falls short.
