What a great time we all had. I grew up in Oregon City, and still learned so much more. We can't wait to do another tour.

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 because my feet got sore.

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!

Rocky was a fantastic guide; his first-hand knowledge and experiences with historic places throughout the Portland area come to life as he tells his stories. The history of the places combined with the haunting tales have me highly recommending this tour.

This was really interesting! We saw parts of Oregon City we never knew existed (waterfalls, tunnels!) and the history and ghost stories were even better.

My family and I took the tour with our friends and had a great time. Rocky is awesome, you can tell he really enjoys what he is doing. I am planning on making the tours a yearly event. Thank you!!!!

This was a fabulous evening! Our family came away with a whole new take on "living" history. We can't wait to take the rest of your tours...

The family and I went on the McLoughlin tour and thought it was great! So much information and history. It’s amazing what you can learn about your own backyard! We are definitely planning on taking the downtown tour next! Can’t wait and thanks again!

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.

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.

Hey rocky! It's Levi... my friends and i really enjoyed your tour last night- it was really interesting to learn more about Oregon that i didnt even know before. I liked the stories you had about your ghost experiences. too bad nothing happend that night

Hey Rocky, I was really impressed by your vast knowledge of the area and all the stories behind it. I'm a big fan of a good story and I will definitely be taking another of your tours in the future. Thanks for sticking around at the end to answer questions even though it was so late! :-)

I really enjoyed learning about the history of Oregon City. I have lived here my whole life and learned more this night than I have my whole life. I told my mom she should go and take my little brother.

Had a great time. A must do again.

We thought your tour was wonderful! You even captivated my 9 year old, Jacob, who dogged your every step and constantly badgered you with questions and comments!

The Tour was GREAT!! My mom is from Bend and I brought her with me, we both had a great time. Rocky did a great job at being very professional, and he definitely 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 definitely 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!!

What a great way to spend one of the hottest evenings of the year. I know Rocky was extremely uncomfortable in the heat, but he handled it like the professional he is. Good job and worth every referral I can send his way.

My boyfriend and I loved this tour! I appreciated how Rocky was "sticking to the facts." He didn't over dramatize 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 definitely plan to take the downtown tour soon! Thank you for such an interesting program!

It was very fun but still a little creepy. I liked how we got to know so much history, I never knew about so i suggested to a friend that they go and i would suggest you go too.

I loved this tour. There was so much I didn't know about Oregon City's history and I really enjoyed all that I learned. I had so much fun and plan to go again in the near future. Thanks Rocky!

Very interesting and informative about history of Oregon City and the creepy stories that you never hear about. Would have liked to go into some of the buildings that have known spirits like the Ermatinger house. Very fun!

A lot of the stories that Rocky tells have "truth" to them because of many other people sensing or seeing things, in much the same way. I greatly enjoy learning about the history as well!

I went on the tour Friday, April 11th. I just have to say it was amazing. I have lived in Oregon City all my life and didn't realize how much my city has really been though. The tour was amazing, it was a lot of fun, very interesting and very much worth my time. I learned a lot about the city, and even got pretty scared some of the time. My friends and I are still talking about how amazing it was days later. Thanks Rocky! It was a lot of fun!

This tour was awesome! Rocky was full of great information about all of the different houses. A creepy feeling goes up your spine every time he tells a story! Thanks for the tour.

Rocky, I recently took your downtown ghost tour with several friends. While I grew up in West Linn and have worked in downtown Oregon City for the last seven years, I was familiar with some of the OCs colorful history. I must admit that your rendition of Oregon City’s haunted history was entertaining and informative. I work in one of Oregon City’s historic buildings downtown and frequently work late nights. I am convinced that our building is haunted by first hand experience and I am comforted to know that this is not the only building on Main Street that has “immortal” residents. Thank you for your time and I will definitely recommend your tours to others.

I went on Rocky’s ghost tour last Saturday and it kicked! I've lived in Oregon City almost most of my life, and I didn't even know half of the things that I learned on the tour about the history of OC. The ghost stories were the best part, I really liked the one about the little girl and steam boat captain that lives in the Ermatinger house. Over all the tour was a blast, I learned a lot and I am definitely going to be going on the tour again soon. thanks Rocky!

So, at the end of our tour last night, which ended at the Ermantinger House, It was dark, and there was just a regular shadow on the house from the bushes and everything. Then Rocky started to talk about the Steam Boat Captain. I was looking in the window on the left side of the house, when something in the corner of my eye changed. I looked at the wall next to the window and there was a shadow of, what I would say is a stereotypical steam boat captain. A tall man with a captain hat on. It stood out against the other shadows because it was much much darker. I looked around to make sure it wasn't any one else's shadow, all of our shadows were pointing up 6th street, basically perpendicular the shadow I saw against the house. The shadow also did not move when a car came by with it's headlights on. It disappeared after Rocky was done talking about how the Captain and April kind of try to make sure they're being mentioned.
