WIGHT HOLLOW

Oregon City, OR is a city of firsts, and one of the oldest and most historically significant areas in the Pacific Northwest, making it a goldmine for folklore—ranging from indigenous legends of the river to spooky pioneer hauntings. In n 19th-century Oregon, the vocabulary of the "supernatural" was strictly tied to:

1. Spiritualism (Séances and rappings).

2. Missionary/Church rhetoric (Evil spirits/Providence).

3. Indigenous Animism (Power/Medicine).

"Warlock" did not survive the transit to the Pacific Northwest in any functional way outside of literature and any references to "Witch" are vague at best. It was a cultural distinction more than anything. At least that has been my personal findings.

Share your stories of real supernatural experiences, like a haunting or something else? Got real camera footage? Share it. Just remember to be honest when you tell your stories and how you dealt with it because it might be helpful for someone else.

Why is this group called Wight Hollow? Because:

• Wight — An old English word for a living being, but in Gothic/fantasy contexts often refers to spirits, undead, or supernatural creatures (like barrow-wights). It’s short, dark, and evocative.

• Hollow — A mysterious, secluded place, often associated with hauntings, forests, or otherworldly encounters.

Also, be willing to deal with reasonable criticism or challenges as to the authenticity of claims or images. For those doing the criticism and challenging, do so honorably and to be blunt, don't be an asshole about it.
