Scappoose, Oregon · Natural landmark
A man and his dog are said to appear together in Scaponia Park. Haunted Places links the pair to a local legend of a horse thief killed by a mob, with his dog buried beside him. The companionship is the distinctive image in the story; the alleged events are not independently verified here.
Redmond, Oregon · Hotel
The New Redmond Hotel’s ghost stories feature a woman seen in the building and footsteps echoing through corridors without a visible source. Haunted Places also recounts guests waking to a feeling of somebody nearby and unusual orbs appearing in photographs. The historic building now operates as SCP Redmond.
Sumpter, Oregon · Hotel
Two very different visitors appear in this former hospital’s folklore: a miner seen shaving in an upstairs bathroom, and a withdrawn shadow figure called Jedidiah. In Callum Swift’s Haunted Places account, Jedidiah’s appearances are accompanied by footsteps and unexplained noises.
Forest Grove, Oregon · Theater
Theatre in the Grove’s stories assign three different temperaments to its ghosts: a girl running the aisles, a voice talking in the dressing area and an irritable presence interfering with the lights. Haunted Places says the last is blamed for slamming the lighting-room door and disturbing spotlights.
Monmouth, Oregon · Other
Jessica Todd, the formidable dormitory matron after whom the building is named, is said to keep watch over Todd Hall even after death. Haunted Places recounts appearances attributed to her, a bright light and unexplained motion-detector activations in the former women’s residence hall.
Union, Oregon · Other
Union’s Carnegie library lore focuses on an unfinished basement storage room where visitors report unexplained noises and an uncomfortable presence. Haunted Places also describes people upstairs feeling something behind them near the large portrait by the desk. The account does not identify a particular ghost.
Astoria, Oregon · Other
A fireman who allegedly fell while sleepwalking is the figure attached to this former station’s lore. Haunted Places contributor Callum Swift describes earlier occupants seeing him beside their beds and hearing lockers rattle. More recent museum stories involve footsteps and noises on the third floor with nobody found when someone checks.
Corbett, Oregon · Hotel
The inn’s historical guest stories include a cigar-smoking gentleman, an elderly woman and a large phantom dog outdoors. Haunted Places contributor Callum Swift places a helpful housemaid in the Chanticleer Room, where curtains supposedly open and close, and describes lights and closet doors acting strangely in the Roosevelt Room.
Portland, Oregon · Hotel
The White Eagle, a Portland saloon with rooms overhead, is known for ghost tales mixed into more than a century of music and nightlife.
Salem, Oregon · Other
A former millwright called Wayne Menzter in the Haunted Places account is said to linger around the historic mill. A second reported figure, a woman, is seen running across a nearby bridge. The two sightings form part of the former Mission Mill Museum’s local haunting tradition.
Merlin, Oregon · Hotel
Wolf Creek Inn has a particularly strange local legend: a blood-mouthed, vampire-like creature reportedly seen by guests, staff and passing drivers. The story repeated by Haunted Places follows two hikers who encounter it outdoors and later believe it has followed them back to the inn.
Newport, Oregon · Other
Muriel Trevenard returns to the abandoned lighthouse to retrieve a forgotten handkerchief, screams, and vanishes before her companion can reach her. Haunted Places repeats this celebrated lighthouse legend while acknowledging its fictional origin. The story’s literary roots are central to understanding the site’s later haunted reputation.
