  1. My BF and I stayed in room 39. I was hearing noises and it would get really cold in the room certain moments throught the night . All of a sudden I woke up to a dog sniffing in my ear. I was like a 2 feet away from my BF so i know it was not his nose. The sniffing lasted about 5 seconds and I woke up in a panic. He asked me what was wrong and I told him I would tell him in the morning since I was so freaked out.

  2. Your information about the poor farm’s history is not accurate, however, there is a book called ‘Mcmenamins Vintage Edgefield: A History of The Multnomah County Poor Farm’ by Sharon Nesbit available on Amazon.

    • Your right. There’s also another book by her, called it could hate been carpdale. Has tons of info about troutdale and edgefield In it! I’m

  3. I absolutely LOVE THIS PLACE, My 1st stay there I felt two hands pressing on the bed while I was laying down, I thought it was my husband but he at that moment texted me from outside on his way to the golf course, Super creepy and amazing. I cant wait to go back !

  4. I’ve been too McMenamins Edgefield twice before, both times I had 1-2 paranormal encounters there. The first time I went there, I caught a shadowy figure ascending the stairs in the right wing. When eating at the Edgefield, I got up to use the bathroom, and after washing my hands, I asked “If there is anyone in here make a noise, and from the stall I came from, I heard a loud tap on the wall and I knew I was the only person in that bathroom.
    The second time I went there (which was earlier today) I felt an ice cold pocket of air surround me even though it was atleast 70-80 degrees in the gift shop, and on the same set of stairs I caught what looks like a white mist going up the stairs.
