Oregon Caves Chateau

The Story

A woman called Elizabeth is said to walk the Chateau’s corridors at night. In the legend repeated by Haunted Places, she was a bride whose wedding ended in betrayal and tragedy. The reported hallway apparition belongs to the lodge’s folklore, rather than a separate ghost story about the cave system.
