Damascus Pioneer Cemetery & Oregon City Municipal Elevator

Greetings from Christina and Hannah's Haunted Headquarters! Christina here. This weekend was filled with spine-chilling adventures and ghostly close encounters.

Our first location was the Damascus Pioneer Cemetery.



At first, we thought it was any other cemetery, but that was before we conducted our investigation. We arrived at dusk, armed with a camera for snapping photos of our spectral friends, an LED flashlight (which we didn't use because we're too courageous!), and our nerves of steel.

I took photos in a few areas of interest and documented what may be a supernatural presence. Here is the photograph:



What is that? Some unearthly being, I'd say. Hannah agrees with me. She surveyed the rest of the cemetery and sensed a particularly spooky presence near a fence that surrounded a white obelisk.

Hannah and I also had time to make a trip to the Oregon City Municipal Elevator, which is rumored to be haunted.



We arrived while the sun was still out. We noticed that it was very cold outside of the elevator, which is sometimes a sign of a haunting. When the doors opened, there was a woman sitting in a booth inside. While she may have been the operator, Hannah and I were skeptical. She was reading a book, but we didn't see her touch anything else. Perhaps she was the ghost rumored to be in the elevator. The windows of the tower were crawling with ladybugs; perhaps they were drawn to the supernatural energy emanating from the elevator.



Upon reviewing photographs that were taken in the tower, I discovered what might be a paranormal entity. What is the orb in the upper right corner in the photo below?



I don't know exactly what it is, but I bet it's supernatural.

That's all we have for now, but we'll post again soon with more chilling tales!
