Whether it's the stories of human trafficking described as the Shanghai Tunnels, the origin of the vampire tales in Twilight, or the crafty madam with the floating brothel, from fiery deaths to watery graves, we explore it all.
The city of Portland Oregon was built on an ancient crossroads; known as a place to step into alternate worlds. What visit to the city would be complete without lifting the veil, for at least a minute, between the living and the spirit worlds?

Itinerary
1
Hawthorne Bridge
The oldest bridge structure in Portland has a much older history. We'll begin by learning about the bridges that came before the current 1910 structure was built; and the two disasters that befell people seeking to cross the turgid river, both near Halloween.
15 minutes
2
Willamette River Walkway
Why is Portland a place beloved by witches, goths, faeries and lovers of the macabre? Why are so many dark stories connected to the river? We'll investigate the history of the river itself; both geologic and the human interaction with the river, that goes back over 10,000 years, to answer the question of why so much is tied here.
35 minutes
3
Ankeny Plaza
WE STAY ABOVE GROUND on this tour! We will visit the part of the river where the Shanghai Tunnels exited the Old Town / Chinatown neighborhood, leading to stories of human trafficking both very old and very modern
