Portland

White Eagle Café & Saloon
This old tavern and whorehouse was built in 1899 and is haunted by a wide variety of ghostly presences. The basement and second floor are sites of much strange activity, such as objects tossed out of nowhere, groping invisible hands, old coins materializing on the floors, and teardrop-shaped apparitions. An invisible presence walks down the corridor from the bar, enters the men's room, and flushes the toilet. The phantom flushing continued even after a new toilet was installed. The unexplainable crying of a woman is heard on the second floor. There are many candidates for the ghosts here. The basement used to house black prostitutes, while the second floor housed white prostitutes. A tough Chinese bouncer, who kept the peace among the surly customers, disappeared mysteriously while working one night and was never seen again. An abandoned 10-year-old boy named Sam was taken in by one of the owners. Sam worked as a roustabout housekeeper and died in the 1930s at the age of thirty in his second-floor bedroom. The room was sealed for many years with all his belongings locked inside. Chuck Hughes bought the building in 1978 and quickly became a believer in ghosts. He has already seen several tear-drop-shaped ghosts in upstairs rooms.
The two-story brick building is in Old Town. It was known as the Risko Brothers Soft Drink Emporium during Prohibition. White Eagle Café & Saloon, 836 North Russell Street, Portland, OR 97227. Phone: 503-282-6810.
