SINISTER AFTER DARK: Ghosts & Dark History of Downtown Portland.

Details

The shadows are calling…

Step into the darker side of Portland on a 1.5–2 hour journey through Downtown’s haunted past.

Walk through Portland’s original red-light district—once notoriously known as the “Court of Death”—and uncover the stories of the people, crimes and scandals that shaped the city.

Along the way, visit Pioneer Courthouse Square, historic downtown hotels, the Bishop’s House, and the former site of Portland’s Chinese Hospital as your guide shares documented history, local legends, ghostly tales and unexplained experiences connected to the places around you.

This isn’t just a ghost tour. It’s a walk through the Portland that came before us—and the stories that may have never left.
