Visit These 10 Creepy Ghost Towns In Oregon At Your Own Risk

What are some scary places in Oregon?

Oregon is a state full of spooks, specters and ghosts! Some creepy places of note include the Lafayette Cemetery, which is said to be haunted by the ghost of a woman convicted of witchcraft. She cursed the town of Lafayette, saying that it would burn down three times - it has burned down twice. Today, people report seeing her in the graveyard she was buried in, and the graveyard was (supposedly) closed to the public because of malevolent attacks by an unseen force. Another super-eerie spot is said to be Malheur Butte, an extinct volcano that was once said to have been the gathering place for witches. Reports of weird sounds and shadowy creatures running around at night are among the creepy goings-on here.

The Old Liberty Theatre in North Bend, Oregon, is said to be haunted by a woman and two children.
