Itinéraire
Autrefois havre de paix luxueux pour les voyageurs, l'hôtel Harlow a la sombre réputation de posséder des résidents fantomatiques. Les clients et le personnel ont rapporté avoir vu des silhouettes sombres et entendu des pas inexplicables résonner dans les couloirs. L'histoire hantée de l'hôtel ajoute un charme étrange à sa façade vintage.
La beauté sereine du jardin chinois Lan Su cache une présence fantomatique sous sa surface tranquille. Les visiteurs ont rencontré des figures fantomatiques et entendu des murmures parmi les paysages luxuriants du jardin. La riche histoire et l'importance culturelle de ce jardin historique n'ont d'égal que ses histoires spectrales.
Sous les rues de Portland, les tunnels de Shanghai racontent des histoires d'enlèvement et de mystère. Ces passages secrets étaient autrefois utilisés pour des activités illégales et sont aujourd'hui réputés hantés par ceux qui ont connu un destin tragique. Les recoins ombragés et les échos du passé des tunnels offrent une expérience effrayante.
Old Town Pizza and Brewing se trouve au sommet d'un bordel notoire, où, selon les rumeurs, ses clients fantomatiques errent toujours. Les employés et les clients ont signalé des apparitions fantomatiques et des bruits inexpliqués, ajoutant une touche paranormale à leur soirée pizza. Son emplacement historique en fait un lieu de prédilection pour les hantises et les rencontres fantomatiques.
Le théâtre Roseland, lieu de représentations animées, accueille également un public d’un autre genre : des figures spectrales venues du passé. Le personnel et les visiteurs ont rapporté avoir vu des présences fantomatiques et entendu des bruits mystérieux pendant et après les événements. Le passé chargé d’histoire du théâtre ajoute une dimension étrange à son atmosphère vibrante.
L'hôtel Benson propose des chambres luxueuses et une riche histoire, mais il cache également des histoires de fantômes. Des clients ont rapporté avoir vu des apparitions et des rencontres troublantes avec les anciens résidents de l'hôtel. Sa grandeur n'a d'égale que l'énergie étrange qui règne dans ses luxueux halls.
Le parking à cet endroit a la triste réputation d'être le théâtre d'événements inhabituels et d'apparitions spectrales. Ceux qui se sont garés ici tard dans la nuit ont signalé des bruits étranges et des apparitions fantomatiques errant dans le secteur. L'histoire du parking ajoute une atmosphère troublante à son cadre par ailleurs ordinaire.
Le pub irlandais Kell’s est connu pour son ambiance animée, mais il a aussi un côté fantomatique. Les clients et le personnel ont vécu des événements étranges et des apparitions qui semblent provenir du passé du pub. Le mélange de charme historique et d'activité surnaturelle fait du Kell's une étape unique de la tournée hantée.

Brendan was fabulous-friendly and informative. We enjoyed the experience very much and can recommend it to others.
Thank you for the kind review, Patricia! We're delighted you had such a great experience with Brendan. It's wonderful to hear his friendly and informative approach made the tour memorable for you. Thanks again for recommending us, and we hope to have you back soon!
The guide was knowledgeable and entertaining and some of the stories were genuinely chilling. The tour gave a fascinating juxtaposition of modern downtown Portland and glimpses of some dark and painful moments in its past. I would recommend checking out an EMF detector; that added a lot to the stories, when the EMF detector spiked in areas which are said to be particularly paranormally active. It was interesting when the guide shared information about personal experiences and experiences by other guests on the tour. One thing I would recommend to the tour guides is that if there is particularly extreme noise pollution in the area where they're telling a story (during our tour, the problem was aggressively loud sidewalk power-washing outside the Roseland Theater), they should slightly move location rather than try to talk over the noise. It was really difficult to hear that story over the noise.
Thank you for such a thoughtful review, Alex! We're thrilled the tour gave you a fascinating look at Portland's darker history and that the EMF detector added so much to the experience. It's always fun hearing about guests' personal experiences and seeing what happens when the equipment gets involved! We also hear you on the noise issue—trying to compete with aggressive sidewalk power-washing is definitely not ideal. We'll share your suggestion with our guides so they can keep the storytelling clear and engaging. Hope to see you again!
A few things to keep in mind when considering this tour. This is not a tour of any buildings tunnels etc. You will be outside on sidewalks the entire tour. There are multiple longs stops where the tour guide is storytelling. Most of the stories have graphic or violent details. Be ready to walk, stand and listen a lot. Things that make it difficult to concentrate on the storytelling may diminish the experience. (That being said the guide was extremely animated and invested in the storytelling and history so even with the loud noise of Portland night life, it’s relatively easy to follow if you are invested.) Okay, all that stuff out of the way. The experience was great! Shawn was our tour guide and he kept his excited energy until the very end of the tour and beyond. I don’t know how he did it, 6 stars, seriously impressive. If you’re someone who enjoys history and/or any aspect of the paranormal, you will enjoy this tour. Again, the main value in this tour is being invested in the story and history itself. About equal amounts of walking/standing. Nothing inaccessible for really anyone though there are plenty of uneven surfaces on the sidewalks as well as street crossings so bring something stable and comfortable to wear. Start of the tour is right where it says, there are bathrooms and time to use them available if you show up 15 minutes early. Refreshments also available in the lobby. I won’t spoil any of the tour content just know if you don’t mind a little noise, some uneven surfaces, walking and standing for about an hour, and have any passion at all for history, paranormal, just appreciate storytelling. You will enjoy this tour if you come into it with the right expectations for the experience. Loved it, wife loved it. Definitely recommend if you’re visiting. IF YOU ARE GOING DURING SUMMER, GO AT NIGHT! IRS hot!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed review! We're delighted you loved the tour and that Shawn's storytelling, energy, and passion made the experience stand out. We especially appreciate your thoughtful advice about the walking, standing, outdoor setting, uneven sidewalks, city noise, and coming prepared to really settle in and listen to the stories. That's exactly the kind of insight that helps fellow travelers know whether this experience is right for them. We'll be sure Shawn hears about his well-earned 6 stars! And yes, if you're visiting Portland in the summer, a nighttime tour is definitely the way to go!
The tour didn’t follow the itinerary listed online. There were no real ghost stories or tales, just history, which would be fine if that were what it was advertised as. The tour also takes you through a very unsafe area with many homeless people and drug addicts. Incredibly boring, not worth the money, and isn’t even what it’s advertised as.
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Alex. We understand your concerns about the itinerary, storytelling, and the area where the tour took place. We want guests to have an experience that matches their expectations, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Please email your booking ID to guestrelations@usghostadventures.com, and we'll share your feedback with our managers so they can review your experience and work toward a resolution.
Unfortunately, this tour did not meet our expectations. The tour guide was very nice but not a great story teller. I’ve been on many ghost tours and what makes them compelling is the guides ability to tell a good story, even if the story is enhanced. Our guide, while knowledgeable, simply did not know how to tell the stories that kept people interested. He stuttered a lot, which means he doesn’t have to stories down pat. We spent 30 min at the first stop in a not so nice neighborhood to hear about the Shanghai tunnels. And it wasn’t very interested. My friend and I ducked out before the last stop because it was already over an hour. The guide at the beginning did ask for permission to go over an hour in order to tell all the stories and that we would get out 10,000 steps in. Again( we barely walked and the stories were not good.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Jenn. We’re pleased to hear you found the guide nice and knowledgeable, but we understand that those qualities alone don’t make a ghost tour memorable. Strong storytelling, pacing, and atmosphere are a big part of the experience, and we appreciate your concerns about these areas. Please email your booking ID to guestrelations@usghostadventures.com, and we’ll have our managers review your feedback and work toward a resolution.

It really isn't all that paranormal. However the stories and history that were shared made this a fun excursion.
Thank you so much for your review, Joyce! We're thrilled you found the stories and history entertaining and enjoyed exploring Portland with us.

Hope to have you back for another adventure!
Brendan was very knowledgeable about Portland’s history. I loved learning about all the ghosts and the stories behind them. I’m excited to come back to Portland and visit the Benson hotel to see if I can see any of the ghosts.
