Haunted Astoria

From the author's website: Jeff Davis wrote this 96 page book in celebration of the Third Annual Pacific Northwest Ghosthunters Conference in Astoria, Oregon, in November 2006. Jeff gathered stories on the Astoria area from his previous books, but also visited Astoria several times, finding new stories of haunted locales. There are tales of ghostly sailors, still lingering in their old homes, like Captain George Flavel. Then there is Fort Stevens, where old soldiers have still not faded away. At the Liberty theater, perhaps some of the stage ghosts are still active. Astoria burned to the ground not once, but twice, and perhaps a firefighter or two remains watchful at the Uppertown Firehouse Museum. There are strange sea critters, haunted hotels, B&B’s and restaurants, as well as a ghostly lady at Knappton Cove. In addition to his own experiences, Jeff worked with the Advanced Ghost Hunters of Seattle Tacoma; AGHOST for insight on many of the more spectacular hauntings. These include the Officer’s Inn B&B, the Rosebriar Inn, and the Liberty Theater.
