Hauntings of Yaquina Bay Lighthouse

Nestled along the rugged coast of Newport, Oregon, the historic Yaquina Bay Lighthouse stands as one of the region's most captivating—and chilling—landmarks. Built in 1871, this haunted lighthouse has a history as dramatic as the coastal landscape. Although it only served its original purpose for a few short years, its eerie reputation has endured for over a century, shrouded in ghost stories and paranormal lore. Today, locals and visitors alike share tales of Muriel Trevenard, a young girl who mysteriously vanished after exploring the abandoned lighthouse with friends. Her ghostly figure, blood-curdling screams, and even phantom bloodstains have reportedly been seen and heard around the lighthouse since the late 1890s.

Though closed to public access, the haunted reputation of the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse has continued to grow. Paranormal reports tell of ghostly lights moving in unnatural ways, as well as glimpses of an apparition thought to be Muriel herself, lingering in and around the lighthouse. These supernatural tales, rooted in both local legend and history, make the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse one of Lincoln County's most mysterious locations. For those fascinated by ghostly encounters, the story of Yaquina Bay is an unforgettable piece of Oregon's haunted history.
