Folklore of Oregon City: Myths and Legends
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:
Spiritualism (Séances and rappings).
Missionary/Church rhetoric (Evil spirits/Providence).
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.
