The McMenamins White Eagle is described as haunted, with reported paranormal activity including objects falling from below, sinks running on their own, and a general feeling of being unwelcomed by the room's presence. Guests have reported feeling like they were being pushed or tickled, hearing whispers on the stairs, and have even left a room abruptly due to feeling like something wanted them out. The spirit of a friend of the original owners, Sam Worek, is sometimes mentioned in relation to the building's ghostly reputation. Guests have reported instances of objects hitting the bed or the bed itself shaking, the sink running, and feeling unseen objects touching them, like tickling or pushing. Whispers have been heard while going up or down the stairs. There's also a pervasive feeling that something or someone in the room wants the guest to leave. Some reports suggest spirits have flung guests' clothing around their room. Sam Worek: This individual, a close friend of the original owners, is considered a spirit who may still be haunting the White Eagle, according to some sources. In its history, the White Eagle also had associations with "ladies of the evening" and Shanghai tunnels, which some believe could be a source of its paranormal reputation. Avoid Room 3: One review specifically suggests that guests avoid Room 3 due to creepy experiences.
