Full description

Discover the haunted past of Portland, Oregon, with a guided evening walking tour. Enjoy an eerie adventure through downtown Portland with a knowledgeable and experienced guide, and discover the most haunted locations in the area.

Meet your guide at the Harlow Hotel & Cafe, 722 NW Glisan St and look out for your guide, who will be carrying a lantern. Begin immediately with the obscure history of the City of Roses before embarking on a haunted route to 8 locations in the surrounding downtown area.

Make your way to the waterfront, explore the dark streets, and stop outside Old Town Pizza to hear researched stories and eyewitness accounts of personal hauntings in Portland's morbid and mysterious past.

From there, the tour only gets spookier as you visit the Shanghai Tunnels. See the firsthand reminder of Portland's shady past where men were kidnapped or "Shanghaied" and sold to ship captains in need of sailors, and women were captured and forced into illicit work.

Learn about an entire network of vice and illegal trade that began to use these tunnels for gambling, opium dens, prostitution, and kidnapping. Follow your guide to some other haunted locations and hear, in gripping detail, the history of hauntings and paranormal activity. 

Finally, make your way to the final stop at Kell's Irish Pub, where your guide can give you a recap of Portland's strange activity, answer any ghost questions you might have.
