Pittock Mansion

Few pleasant Residual Presences, but no real negativity or ghosts "haunting" this residence. About Pittock Mansion in SW Portland, OR- There are rumors that every old home just about everywhere has its' ghosts, especially the larger the house. This is a beautiful home and the overall feeling is one of calm and completion. My personal experience as a local sensitive/clairsentient who has visited Pittock Mansion many times times - though not taking the tour until my 4th visit to confirm what I "know" - is this: the 2 sisters' energy lingers as light and joy at the south side on the 2nd floor, they were very happy living here, but there is no male ghost in the middle bedroom - only a photo exists there, and there is a faint but definite energetic "memory imprint"of a baby who died at the north end bedroom upstairs. I can feel the grief, but the baby is not there, nor is the older sister. It is one of the more peaceful homes I have experienced, full of residual energies. But I still want to visit the downstairs, as there feels an heaviness from there, but since they do not allow for tours there, I can only feel the draw to get down there. The other place I feel an heaviness with an unusual history not normally known and told is of the caretaker who lived with his family in the little house below the mansion to the south, esp. 1920-30s. haven't had a chance to check it out yet. If anyone has similar "vibes", I would love to hear about that.

Pittock Mansion is truly a gorgeous home and lovely just for its' own sake - I encourage anyone interested in historical architecture (check out the stairs) to visit, and take a notebook and jot down impressions if you are so inclined to cultivate your own sensitive skills, afterwards you can research the known information of the residents and the home. It is the best way to hone those inner skills.

Horrible Holiday Experience. We were so sadly disappointed at the Holiday decorations. It was downright cheesy and detracted from the elegance of the original decor. There were dolls in the beds and paper crafts hanging everywhere. Cheap looking mannequins standing around looking a bit spooky and outdated. Save your time and money and visit any other time to really see the mansion without the terrible and cheap looking decorations. The grounds are spectacular!  View Less … View More

Great place to propose. Not only does the Pittock Mansion have the best view of Portland, it is the perfect place to propose. I would know. I proposed to my girlfriend last Friday, May 11th, 2007 (she said yes!), inside this beautifully preserved and restored home. To make things even better, the staff were very kind and accommodating--they even brought out champagne for us--and were able to help plan the event with me. So, if you are looking to propose, or just want to visit a place that demands the beauty and specialness of young, and timeless, love, do not miss the Pittock Mansion.  View Less … View More

Experience An Elegant 1900 Life. A visit to the Pittock Mansion is to escape to the past and grasp the elegant lifestyle of Portland's privileged, but active wealthy class. The restored mansion is decorated with period furnishings, china, and selected household items. Strolling the grounds slows down the pace of life, as you move among the shrubbery or look out of the city of Portland. A visit to the Mansion at the holidays is very special, as it is lovingly theme-decorated.  View Less … View More
