Butcher-shop basement associated with owner-reported unusual experiences.

A shop basement in Astoria, Oregon, Gulley’s Butcher Shop is filed here for what the record attaches to it. Butcher-shop basement associated with owner-reported unusual experiences. The archive files it under haunted locations. The dossier holds 1 reported claim, every one filed as account rather than fact. Visitor status is unverified; confirm before making the trip.

The butcher shop opened in downtown Astoria in 2016, and according to Travel Oregon's account, owner Diana Gulley began using the basement as an office — then began reporting what she described as moving shadows and doors closing when no one else was down there. She called in paranormal investigators, and by the teller's account the volume of reported activity was enough that a public ghost tour grew out of the shop.
The most-quoted incident involves a tour guide who, in Gulley's telling, saw a figure materialize in the downstairs space she calls the ghost room and left the building mid-shift — 'didn't come back, call or even text.' Tours run through the basement and a stretch of Astoria's underground, the passageways left beneath a downtown largely rebuilt on fill after the 1922 fire that leveled the business district.

HOW THE FILE READS IT
The archive files this as a reported experience — the owner's account, retold by the state tourism office — not a verified cause. The research note sets the boundary precisely: the dossier documents what was reported, not what produced it, and this named basement should not be folded into the broader lore of Astoria's underground as though all of it shared one claim.
