Ghosts of Portland, Oregon [Paperback]

Todd Cobb (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 2007

From disembodied screams of a murdered girl heard beneath gothic arches of the St. John's Bridge to moving furniture and ethereal figures spotted in The White Eagle bar, Portland knows its ghosts. Read about a veteran of the First World War still waiting to return home from battle and a spectral beast roaming the woods at the edge of town. Relive the tragedy of the Shanghai Tunnels where men were drugged and kidnapped, and women were imprisoned and forced into immoral servitude, as well as haunted houses, apartments, restaurants, and hotels that dot the city. Yes, Portland knows its ghosts. And now you can know them, too.

I'm not scared by ghosts or rather the idea of ghosts... of humans, but the story about the ghost dog kept me up the night I read it. Todd Cobb does a great job of giving you a tour of one of America's great haunted cities. I really liked the story about the Shanghai tunnels too and the next time I am in Portland plan to take this book with me and do a little super natural sightseeing.
