Ghostly Haunts: Stories from the Community (9 Oct 2026)

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 01:30:00 GMT

Many Forest Grove homes and buildings date back to the mid 1800s. Each have their own histories and energies that have made themselves known to residents throughout the decades.

Spend an evening with Stephanie Asher, a "psychic empath" who is able to sense energy and emotions and see auras in people and objects. On occasion, she visually sees "ghosts."

See historic photos of Forest Grove as you hear about community members' ghostly experiences during this 90-minute presentation. You may also share your own stories.

Suitable for those with limited mobility and those in the family who like "spooky tingles." Storytelling will take place in the Old Train Station at 1936 19th Ave. (which houses its own ghosts).

Cocoa, cider, and treats will be available at no extra cost.
