Comments:I have lived in Oregon City most all of my 40+ years and on this tour I learned some new things about my hometown. I especially liked the stories that Rocky told along the bluff...about the wreck of the steamboat, the haunted old apartment building, and the first woman murderer in the county. After listening to 2 hours of ghostly tales, I was ready to be thoroughly spooked when Rocky pointed out with his flashlight what looked like the face of Dr. John McLoughlin in a tree trunk behind the historic home. I took a sharp intake of breath when the face appeared to me! Nice and spooky. I'd just recommend that everyone wear good walking shoes cause my feet got sore.

Comments:There seemed to be more activity tonight. A light was on in the first house that isn't supposed to work, and another was on in a room that no one had been in. There was quite a light show as street lights would go on and off as Rocky walked by or talked about different stories. I had a great deal of trouble with my camera batteries suddenly going dead then coming back to life, and the lens of my camera kept fogging up - never had that happen before. There also seemed to be lots of movement in the shadows - like unseen pranksters, and when Rocky rang the bell at the Barkely House - another one with lights on that shouldn't have been - it looked to me as though the front door was being shaken as though someone was trying to open it.

Comments:We took the walk with the spirits tour last week and loved it! Not only was it informative and fascinating, but the tour guide is extremely knowledgeable regarding local history and also respectful of his subject. Many times we felt the strong presence of spirits and heard things we still can't really explain. Oregon City is a fascinating place, full of legends and rich with stories that make this tour a must do while in the area!

Comments:The downtown tour was fascinating. The stories of the buildings and the people associated with them brought the history to life - and it seems that some continues to repeat itself. We some places that I've been nervous about even in daylight and certainly wouldn't want to be in alone at night. I'll be back for another tour.

Comments:I've taken the tour 3 times now. The first was with my sister and her two kids when they were in town from Maine. Each time the experience is new and fresh and the whole experience is different. Rocky has an in depth knowledge of the city, the houses and the people who lived in them and their stories. I can't imagine anyone who likes history or a good story not thoroughly enjoying the tour. If you like both, it's even more of a treat. I'll be back for another soon.

Comments:This was a great tour. I've lived in Oregon City for 10 years & learned many new things about it's history as well as it's hauntings. I highly recommend this tour & will definitely do it again. Even witnessed an 'event' with steam coming out of a chimney that goes nowhere in a house that isn't inhabited, at least by anyone that we can see.

Comments:If you're not sure if this tour is worth it, don't fear. It's not only really fun but you will learn a lot about Oregon's history. Rocky seems to know just about everyone in Oregon City - dead or alive! You won't be disappointed. We need more people like Rocky who care to keep the oral history of our communities alive.

Comments:The Tour was GREAT!! My mom is from Bend and I rough her with me, we both had a great time. Rocky did a great job at being very profesional, and he definetly had the best stories. I loved learning all the history of a town I have lived in now for 3 years, that I knew nothing of before. The next day, I went to the elevator and took a ride on that and also did the tour of the McLoughlin house. I can't wait to see the Ermatinger house next. I will definetly go on the tour again, and I already have a few friends that can't wait to go with me, thanks for a wonderful tour Rocky!!

Comments:My boyfriend and I loved this tour! I appreciated how Rocky was "sticking to the facts." He didn't overdramatize any personal experiences nor did he try to "convert" us to believers. He did a great job mixing fact with myth and never presented a myth as a fact. If nothing else, we came out of there with a new appreciation of Oregon City. I just wish we had a similar program at Sherwood! We definetely plan to take the downtown tour soon! Thank you for such an interesting program!

Comments:Due to our previous conversation, we thought this was interesting! While driving by the Ermatinger house this evening we stopped to look at the house. While pulling up to the house we all noticed that none of the candle lights were on in the upstairs rooms but there seemed to be a breeze upstairs waving the window shades. While watching the house the light in the upper right window turned on, however none of the other lights were on. With our interst now caught - Jered decided to run around the house really quick to see if the care takers' car was parked out back. While coming around the side of the house, the lower left light turned on right as he was coming past the window! Pretty interesting...
