What Lies Beneath
Did you know there is a series of underground tunnels connecting many of Portland's historic buildings to the sea? Tragically, this maze of passageways was used for more than transporting goods.
Beneath the canopy of sheltering trees and historic streets of Portland lies a past rife with dark mysteries and tragic tales of crime and murder. The very port that made Portland a major commercial hub was key in transforming the city into one of the most dangerous towns in the Pacific Northwest. Some of the most popular restaurants and shops in the city are built directly over an infamous series of tunnels where goods and lives were traded and stolen, never to be heard from again. Unless you are paying attention...
"I'm not easy to scare, but this tour gave me the creeps for sure!"
