Astoria Ghost Tour Underground
TWO HOUR Investigation with Signe and Joe
Astoria Ghost Tour Underground runs guided investigative tours at a known Ghost Adventures filming site in Astoria, Oregon. The business offers two distinct experiences: the Ghost Tour & Investigation UNDER GROUND, a guided group exploration of local subterranean sites tied to Astoria’s history and the 1922 fire, and a Private Investigation option that provides a one-hour, focused investigation for small groups. Each experience includes the use of common ghost-hunting tools that participants can handle during the investigation.
Tours highlight specific local features such as the historical 1922 fire and the Shanghai hatches, connecting documented local history with eyewitness accounts and on-site investigation activities. The site’s connection to a Ghost Adventures episode provides an added layer of public interest and media recognition while remaining grounded in verifiable local events.
Guides lead guests through underground spaces and historic locations, offering contextual history and structured investigative exercises suitable for a range of ages. Private Investigation bookings allow a dedicated, one-hour exploration tailored to the group’s pace and focus, enabling closer attention to investigative technique and documentation with personal devices.
Astoria Ghost Tour Underground focuses on presenting factual historical background alongside experiential investigation. The business emphasizes safe, guided access to underground sites and clear explanations of the tools used, making the experience accessible to both history enthusiasts and visitors curious about paranormal inquiry.
