836 North Russell Street. 503-282-6810.
{White Eagle Cafe & Saloon}
This old tavern and whorehouse, built in 1899, is haunted by a wide variety of ghostly presences. The basement and second floor are sites of much strange activity, including objects tossed out of nowhere, groping invisible hands, old coins materializing on the floors, and teardrop-shaped apparitions. An invisible presence walks down the corridor from the bar, enters the men's room, and flushes the toilet. The phantom flushing continued even after a new toilet was installed. The unexplainable crying of a woman is heard on the second floor. There are many candidates for the ghosts here. The basement used to house black prostitutes, while the second floor housed white prostitutes. A tough Chinese bouncer, who kept the peace among the surly customers, disappeared while working one night and was never seen again. An abandoned ten-year-old boy named Sam was taken in by one of the owners. Sam worked as a roustabout housekeeper and died in the 1930s at the age of thirty in his second-floor bedroom. The room was sealed for many years with all his belongings locked inside. Chuck Hughes bought the building in 1978 and quickly became a believer in ghosts.

-OREGON CITY
McLoughlin House
The hulking ghost of Dr. John McLoughlin walks through the upstairs hall and bedroom of this old mansion. He founded Oregon City in 1829 and built this house in 1845. Standing six feet five inches tall, with shoulder-length hair, McLoughlin was an imposing figure. He was also a remarkably generous man, serving as the community's doctor, mayor, and investor. Not long after he moved into his new house, though, the U.S. Congress divested him of all his holdings because he was a Canadian citizen. He died on September 3, 1857, a bitter and broken man. After his death, his home was used as a camp for Chinese laborers and later became a whorehouse. In 1909, the house was moved to a hilltop location and restored as a museum. In the 1970s, the graves of McLoughlin and his wife were also moved to the new estate. That was when the ghostly manifestations started. In addition to sightings of McLoughlin's tall, dark shadow, objects in the house seem to move by themselves, and disembodied footsteps are heard on the stairway and upstairs. On the anniversary of the date and time of his death, September 3 at about 9:35 a.m. his portrait above the downstairs fireplace radiates a brilliant golden aura as the sun strikes it. The ghost of a woman has been reported standing by an upstairs window, and a phantom dog scampers through the first-floor halls.
The McLoughlin House Museum is next to Barclay House. From I-205, take the Oregon City exit and turn left at McLoughlin Street. Follow 10th Street to the top of the hill and turn left at 7th Street. Turn left again at Center Street. The address is 713 Center Street, Oregon City, OR 97045. Phone: 503-656-5146
