An Oregon Coast Ghost Hunting Guide
Summary
As the days grow shorter, the winds howl louder, and the fog drifts more frequently from the sea, Oregon's northern coast becomes a haven for ghostly tales. Known for its eerie legends, this region offers plenty to the adventurous ghost hunter, from flying pots in Seaside to haunted hotels in Nehalem Bay and otherworldly encounters in historic Astoria.
Sleepless in Seaside
Seaside might seem inviting, but beneath its charm lurk stories of the supernatural. Once home to the grand Hotel Seaside, the spot now occupied by the Shilo Inn was infamous for ghost sightings. After the old hotel was demolished, the spirits reportedly moved to Girtle's Restaurant nearby. Owner Bob Girtle recounts tales of mysterious shadows under closed doors and coffee pots occasionally flying across rooms.
Similarly, John Sowa of Lil’ Bayou shares stories of objects moving inexplicably in the kitchen. Located in Seaside's historic Gilbert District, this area is full of old buildings and whispered ghost stories.
The Seaside Aquarium's unused top floor is rumored to be haunted, with stories about strange noises echoing from an era when the building housed a natatorium with apartments above.
Eerie on the Nehalem Bay
Manzanita, at the northern end of Nehalem Bay, offers legends as thick as the mists surrounding it. Tales of buried treasures involving gruesome acts and mysterious rock formations appearing overnight add to its allure.
In Wheeler, Old Wheeler Hotel owner Winston Laszlo shares eerie encounters, such as seeing specters in reflections and unexplained spirit orbs photographed near the basement. The hotel's renovation was rife with strange setbacks, eventually alleviated when the building seemingly accepted the changes.
Ghost hunter Martina DeLude suggests that spirits, unsettled by alterations to familiar surroundings, might become helpful once they recognize a returning familiarity.
Other local stories include a woman allegedly burning down her own haunted house, unwilling to face the disturbing spirits connected to its past. Despite these tales, Wheeler also boasts kind spirits, with serendipitous moments known as "Wheeler Moments" frequently benefiting locals.
Astoria ?" Or Ghostoria?
Astoria, the oldest settlement west of the Mississippi, is teeming with ghost stories. The Liberty Theater, once frequented by figures like Duke Ellington and Al Capone, is said to host "Handsome Paul," a dapper apparition known to slam doors and make his presence known.
Astoria's past includes the darker history of men being "shanghaied," with its firehouse and other locations adding to the rich tapestry of hauntings.
Conclusion
Whether it's a mischievous spirit or a benevolent presence, the Oregon Coast is filled with ghostly adventures just waiting to be explored. From the eerie fog of Seaside and mysterious Nehalem Bay to the historical haunts of Astoria, this coastal region is a must-visit for any ghost hunter.
