Spectral sights from the creepy coast!
Whether you’re strolling around Portland or are an armchair visitor, this guide will bring you all the thrills and chills of one of the most haunted cities in the country. Steeped in history, the Oregon coast has been the site of eerie events over the centuries. Relive early Portland at Tryon Creek State Park, where the ghostly voices of loggers and the whinnying of horses can still be heard. Spirits linger in Prohibition-era Shanghai Tunnels, where prostitutes and immigrants were bought and sold. The Gray Lady still tends to the windswept Heceta Head Lighthouse, watching over her infant’s grave. Author Jeff Dwyer explores these lingering phantasms and others in this sepulchral volume of history and mystery.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Ghosts and spirits abound in western Oregon. The imprints of pioneers, soldiers, prostitutes, and murder victims haunt the places they trod in life, searching for loved ones, reliving joyful times, protecting favorite haunts, and seeking revenge. This guide, history, and comprehensive how-to offers tantalizing information about the lives, deaths, and locales of the Portland area?s lingering past.Areas include Central Portland, East Portland communities, Vancouver and North Portland, communities south of Portland, and Oregon?s coastal communities. The infamous Shanghai Tunnels have long reverberated with the screams of kidnapped victims, doomed to a brief life of forced servitude. Lone Fir Cemetery is visited to this day by the spirits of the Chinese laborers, mental asylum inmates, and Civil War veterans who rest there. Thelma Taylor can sometimes be felt in Cathedral Park, under the St. John Bridge. Historical hotels still host the spirits of guests who died, sometimes by their own hand. Opera houses and ballrooms tell a happier story: the imprints left by decades of entertainment and energy can be felt even now. These sites, and many others, are vividly described, and entries include locations and contact information.Informative sections cover what a ghost is, how it can manifest, ideal ghost sighting conditions, and types of imprints. Techniques included are preliminary historical research, physical and mental preparation, and the two primary schools of ghost hunting: the technical and psychic methods. The technical method section covers equipment use and suggestions, and the psychic method section discusses using your intuition and sensitivity to sense phenomena. Helpful appendixes include a sighting report form; suggested readings, videos, and websites; a list of tours and events; and a collection of area museums and historical societies.
