Flavel Mansion, Astoria
The Flavel Mansion in Astoria, Oregon, is known for reported hauntings attributed to its original residents, particularly Captain George Flavel and his daughters, Nelly and Katie. Visitors and staff have reported various phenomena, including the apparition of Captain Flavel in his second-floor bedroom, phantom music and voices from the music room, unexplained floral scents, and a feeling of an "unhappy presence" in the library room. One notable event involved a music box that was reportedly heard playing on its own before mysteriously disappearing. The spirit of Captain Flavel has been seen in his second-floor bedroom and is said to vanish into the floor. Disembodied music and voices, sometimes from the sisters Nelly and Katie, have been heard in the music room. A floral scent has been reported in Mrs. Flavel's bedroom, even when no one is present. Strange Occurrences in the Children's Room: Curtains are said to open on their own in what was once the children's or toy room. An "unhappy presence" has been felt in the library room, and an apparition of a woman has been seen in the second-floor hallway. The Flavel Mansion was built in 1884 for Captain George Flavel, his wife, and their daughters, Nelly and Katie. It was converted into a museum in 1951, after which reports of hauntings began to surface.
