All of America is a haunted place, but the ghosts of the Pacific Northwest have a special resonance — one that draws on the moody climate and rugged history of the region. Whether told around the bar or the campfire, the ghost stories of Washington state and Oregon reflect an economy built around rough, resource extraction industries such as mining and logging, not to mention the sex work that often accompanied it. Some stories go back even farther, reflecting the Indigenous history of the land or encounters between Native Americans and settlers. Many of these stories are actually love stories, capturing the devotion expressed by people who built businesses, families, and communities in the region—and who apparently never wanted to leave. This illustrated talk with bestselling author Bess Lovejoy will cover some of the most notable ghost stories from around the Northwest.
