Oregon Ghost Towns | Exploring | Spooky | October 2022 

UPDATE: 2024: We know how to pronounce Shaniko. Thank you everyone...

For anyone interested in staying in Shaniko now, the hotel is officially open for business. That is as of sept 2023. You should see it. It is done up well. When I was a kid in the 70s, it was open and the folks that worked it were.......special or challenged. It was so great to see that. Lots and lots of time and money being invested in Shaniko now. Well worth the trip in reasonable weather to check it out. In august a big festival goes on for I think 3 days with live music and all, called "Shaniko days".

Our family lived in Redmond when the dude from India took over Antelope, Oregon. The story's are definitely true. He was constantly in the news along with his partner in crime the woman. I can't pronounce or spell either one of their names. Pretty crazy watching it all unfold.

Reminds me of coming down from Washington to visit family in California and going through all these cool little Oregon towns!

Life is just amazing we live just to creating stories.The town is beautiful,It's very sad to see the town, mansions become deserted

Next time you're exploring ghost towns in Oregon - check out Sumpter, if you haven't already! My brother and I did a ghost hunt in the old hospital, which is now an B&B. We got a lot of paranormal phenomenon there. Apparently, there have been ghost hunting shows filmed there. Pretty cool!

Exiting the chapel- "Let's ride". Not lost on Seahawks fans. Love it!!

That was great guys,…A lovely couple, uniting together to spread history of America,…. from Australia

Love the Channel go hawks

Thanks for the great video as someone who grew up in that part of Oregon i really appreciate you bringing this very special portion of the Beaver State to a much wider audience .my uncle was in Antelope at the time of the Rajneeshi occupation all though he wasn't involved with the occupation he worked a truck driver for a Industrial laundry service in Ontario because he spoke Urdu fluently authorities asked him to work as a translator for the Rajneeshi whom didn't speak English. Live currently in Klamath Falls, Oregon grew up between Bend and La Grande . Go Beavers and Ducks

Grandmother grew up outside Antelope. Worked at the Shaniko Hotel when she was a teen

Neat ! Love it.. I'm from Albany Oregon, I've joined West coast paranormal team. It's exciting..Nice video

Real ghost towns are plaves like Lamonta between Madras and Prineville, and Shevlin between Bend and La Pine. Perhaps Richmond, but there are people still there.

I'd love to lease a room as an art studio in the old school in Antelope.

Love your channel I’ve lived in Oregon all my life I remember roshneesh when I was a kid yes definitely a kreepy group of people

Oregan seemed like such a nice county, was considering moving there but pretty much a ghost zone.

At the 1:45 mark, in the center of the screen at the end of Antelope, is a place referred to as the "Brogan place". It has a school house on it which is the one room all grades. Also, Antelope where you toured is actually a relocate. Ask the locals, yes, they are approachable, and they will show you where the town was originally. Sad you were not there in 2019. The cafe, once the Antelope cafe, then "zorba the buddah" during the accupation, was open again for a very short time as Grandma's cafe. Had brunch there in 2019. Grandma was the mayor. Also, as a child, I remember very well the garage still in operation in the 70s. They had a huge tug boat piston out front as a trash can.

Thank you

Over grazing killed the area we were told when visiting Shanika in the 1960’s by the owner of the hotel who remembered when she got there in the early 1900’s.

No shortage on advertisement interruptions, but still interesting enough to stay for. Thanks

I would love to spend the night in there and use the k2 meters and the spirit app and the cat balls and so forth very cool guys love seeing that stuff

Sad that when I think of Oregon (Portland...) I think dystopian or colloquially: #$@&hole. Important not to characterize the entire state by one city and the crazy Branch Davidian types there in the past.

Lord knows I miss my Oregon terribly. Can never go home. Only forward. Not back

thanks

Pronunciation of Shaniko is Shan-e-ko. My great great uncle bought his first automatic in Shaniko, a 1921 Model T.

Read Louis la more has good story of the area when cattle was brought in ,gold was found. Murder and others crazy happening gs.

is it sha-niko? I always thought it was pronounced shan-ih-ko

its shah-neh-co

The Raj occupation pretty much destroyed the town. Those not associated with the newcomers left.

The guys from Ghost Adventures on the travel channel. Would like to spend one night in the school.

Have you been to Sumpter Oregon yet?

Government should provide this town to be a public land and open spaces for all the home less to live here, plan their own gardens, plant all kinds of fruits for themselves to survive fix all the buildings for them to restart a new town, new life to live here then open a farmer market or ghost towns tours to make moneys.

This town looked so dry , no water, no grass that is why everyone gone .

The hotel in Shaniko is haunted.

2 minutes of intro for a 15 min. vid is a bit much. Everyone likes Shaniko, but it is pretty much the tourist trap of Ghost Towns. Kent is legitimately dead, and the next town up the road might be next. Soon.

Please come to Jewell.

Great video. Except for the music.

Pronounced SHANiko.

Australia produced L18 000000 (pounds), $32 000000 in 1901. That equates to well over $1.5 Billion in today’s money. Even with converting that to USD, it is well over the figures you gave for this place,’the world largest wool producer’. You may be talking about the largest producer in the smallest area of land. So Australia produced 10 times the amounts this place did.
