10.Ultimate Dead of Night Walking Ghost Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 11 reviews · 1 hour · from $30

A late-night ghost walk in Portland with lanterns, darker stories, and exclusive sites. Plan for a longer night than advertised.

“I was super excited for this. And it wasn’t a bad tour it was just long. It was advertised as a 60 mins tour, well it was actually 120mins. Too long. It wasn’t just a ghost stories but a paranormal tour with a LOT of lingering around “waiting” for the ghosts to appear in photos or make themselves known. The actual tour was fascinating but it could have been a little quicker. Our guide was really skiddish around the locals. She was blatantly rude to those just making note of us being around and would just go off on these tangents, yes I understand they weren’t in the right mind…”
