- Portland Shanghai Tunnel: A network of tunnels underneath the streets of Portland is said to illustrate a piece of Oregon's troubled history. The Shanghai Tunnels connected various types of businesses to the waterfront docks of the Willamette River and to funnel goods. They were also reportedly used to traffic, or "Shanghai," men and women. The men had to work for free on ship crews from the mid-19th century to the early 1940s, and the women were sent far away and sold into prostitution. Reports of supernatural activity have added another layer of mystery about these historic tunnels.
