In Baker City, there is what is known as one of the most notoriously haunted places in Oregon, the historic Geiser Grand Hotel is steeped in lore and legend. Built in 1889 during the midst of the gold rush, the hotel was originally called the Hotel Warshauer. It was renamed The Geiser Grand when Albert Geiser bought it in 1900. It's absolutely deserving of such grandiose title. Everything about the Geiser Grand Hotel truly is grand, from its opulent dining area to its ornate ceilings... but, this beautiful hotel also has a very grand haunted reputation.
Back in its early days, the Geiser Grand was *the* place to go for social events and fine dining, known as "The Queen of the Mines," in fact. The hotel was such a happening place to be, that it seems some guests never left. The most famous of the hotel’s ghosts is known as “The Lady in Blue.” Dressed in a blue gown, her name was (or is?) Annabelle, and she is often seen walking up and down the main staircase. If you don’t believe in ghosts, you just might after a stay at the Geiser Grand Hotel in Baker City. And if you do? Well, then you might just want to dive in headfirst for a real-life ghost hunt in Oregon!
