Haunted Hotels in La Grande, Oregon

The Lodge at Hot Lake Springs

66172 OR-203, La Grande, OR 97850, United States

Hot Lake Lodge has a deeply layered history, serving as a Native American site, an early resort, and notably, a sanatorium/hospital known as 'the Mayo Clinic of the West' which saw many illnesses and deaths, including experimental surgeries. It even had a crematorium. Ghostly encounters reported include former patients, doctors, nurses, and residents. Full-bodied apparitions, disembodied voices, piano music, unexplained smells, and feelings of being touched are common, spanning across the entire property, from patient rooms to the old operating rooms.
