In the days before routine automobile ownership allowed cities to sprawl in single-family suburban style, The Dalles was a much more compact city, with downtown businesses established on the ground floors of buildings, and living quarters built on the upper two or three stories.
#Today a fair portion of that space – former apartments, hotels and even bordellos – is empty.
#But there’s more going on in those old upstairs rooms than most people might think, say the investigators of the Gorge Paranormal Society. The new business in downtown The Dalles offers ghost tours through some of the city’s historic buildings, as well as building investigations where they seek to prove or disprove the presence of other-worldly emanations
#Jeff and Johna Gadley established the business after moving from the Yakima area to be closer to family here. They work with a team of three free-lance local investigators, Karissa Perez, Miranda Pollock and Heather Maurin. Jeff was an investigator in Yakima and one of the original founders of Northwest Ghost Hunters there.
#“I’m trying to get more people into The Dalles to utilize what The Dalles has,” Jeff notes.
