“We loved our ghost tour with Victoria Rose! She is knowledgeable, personable and very passionate about Portland’s spooky history. We booked an hour long tour on a Thursday evening and were in a small group. It was perfect! One couple on our tour opted for the EMF ghost reader and it was going crazy during certain sections of the tour. I highly recommend a ghost tour in Portland, it’s a mix of history and spooky entertainment.”
