New Season, New Stories, New Ghosts Starting June 2023!
2023 Haunted Taft Tours are made possible through the generosity of our spooky friends at Explore Lincoln City.
Ghosts and Legends of the Oregon Coast
In the soft glow of the glass furnaces, hear of spirits past and ghosts present at the Lincoln City Glass Center. Learn about the mysterious Ghost Schooner of Siletz Bay, an infamous celebrity spirit, bootleggers and creatures of the night. All this and more during a spine-chilling walking tour of Historic Taft.
Also, if you are having problems buying tickets from your iPad, the problem is being caused by the ghost of Steve Jobs. Please try a laptop or desktop computer instead.
Event Information
$25 per Person
(not recommended for children under 8)
$50 VIP Package
Your choice of one of two styles of glow-in-the-dark Haunted Taft T-shirts (in sizes from Medium to XXL), plus a goodie bag filled with a variety of Haunted Taft souvenirs.
Tour Length and Accessibility
The tour lasts approximately one and a half hours and covers just under a mile of walking on flat surface. The walking route can be wheelchair accessible upon request.
No Refunds
Refunds are provided only if Haunted Taft cancels a tour for reasons outlined below.
Tour Minimum
We must sell a minimum of 8 tickets to operate a tour. We’ll contact you via email the day of the tour if we have not met our minimum. If Haunted Taft cancels a tour, you will be given a full refund.
Weather Considerations
This is the Oregon Coast and we expect rain. Our tours operate rain or (moon) shine. We encourage you to dress appropriately for walking in the rain and we have sturdy rain ponchos available to loan. That said, tours are no fun during driving rain and we’ll cancel a tour if the weather is particularly bad or unsafe. If Haunted Taft cancels a tour, you will be given a full refund.
