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.

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.

Meeting Place & Merch

Tours depart from the Sapphire Center, 4840 SE Hwy 101, Lincoln City, OR 97367. Please try to arrive 10 minutes early to sign in for your tour.

You can also purchase official Haunted Taft t-shirts any time you want at the Sapphire Center.

Parking

A few parking spaces are available behind the Sapphire Center. (Please park only in spaces marked business or guests.) There is ample street parking available behind the Sapphire Center on SE Inlet Avenue. Additional parking is available in the public parking lot on SE Inlet Avenue.
