Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Het Harlow Hotel was ooit een luxe toevluchtsoord voor reizigers, maar heeft een duistere reputatie voor spookachtige bewoners. Gasten en personeel hebben gemeld dat ze schimmige figuren zagen en onverklaarbare voetstappen door de gangen hoorden galmen. De spookachtige geschiedenis van het hotel voegt een griezelige charme toe aan de vintage gevel.
De serene schoonheid van Lan Su Chinese Garden verbergt een spookachtige aanwezigheid onder het rustige oppervlak. Bezoekers zijn spookachtige figuren tegengekomen en hebben gefluister gehoord in de weelderige landschappen van de tuin. De rijke geschiedenis en culturele betekenis van deze historische tuin worden alleen geëvenaard door zijn spookachtige verhalen.
Onder de straten van Portland fluisteren de Shanghai Tunnels verhalen over ontvoering en mysterie. Deze verborgen doorgangen werden ooit gebruikt voor illegale activiteiten en tegenwoordig zouden ze worden achtervolgd door mensen die een grimmig lot hebben ondergaan. De schaduwrijke hoeken van de tunnels en echo's van het verleden zorgen voor een huiveringwekkende ervaring.
Old Town Pizza and Brewing is gevestigd op een berucht bordeel, waar naar verluidt nog steeds spookachtige gasten ronddwalen. Medewerkers en gasten hebben spookachtige verschijningen en onverklaarbare geluiden gemeld, wat een paranormale draai aan hun pizza-avond geeft. De historische locatie maakt het een hotspot voor spoken en spookachtige ontmoetingen.
Het Roseland Theater, een locatie voor levendige optredens, ontvangt ook een ander soort publiek: spookachtige figuren uit het verleden. Medewerkers en bezoekers hebben gemeld dat ze spookachtige verschijningen zagen en mysterieuze geluiden hoorden tijdens en na evenementen. Het legendarische verleden van het theater voegt een griezelige laag toe aan de levendige atmosfeer.
Het Benson Hotel beschikt over weelderige accommodaties en een rijke geschiedenis, maar het herbergt ook spookverhalen. Gasten hebben waarnemingen van verschijningen en verontrustende ontmoetingen met voormalige bewoners van het hotel gemeld. De grandeur ervan wordt geëvenaard door de griezelige energie die in de luxueuze hallen hangt.
De parkeerplaats op deze locatie heeft een grimmige reputatie voor ongewone gebeurtenissen en spookachtige waarnemingen. Mensen die hier 's avonds laat hebben geparkeerd, hebben vreemde geluiden en spookachtige verschijningen gemeld die door het gebied dwaalden. De geschiedenis van de parkeerplaats voegt een verontrustende sfeer toe aan de verder gewone setting.
Kell’s Irish Pub staat bekend om zijn levendige sfeer, maar heeft ook een spookachtige kant. Bezoekers en personeel hebben vreemde gebeurtenissen meegemaakt en verschijningen gezien die lijken te blijven hangen in het verleden van de pub. De mix van historische charme en bovennatuurlijke activiteit maakt Kell’s een unieke stop op de spooktocht.

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.

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.
