Oregon Dunes is a site in Reedsport, Oregon. The dunes—40 miles of sand that swallows the forest. HauntHunt files it with geology, natural sites and local folklore. Its accounts name only a collective — the dunes dead. The dossier holds 2 reported claims, 2 legends, 1 documented fact and 1 named or described presence — documented record and retelling kept side by side. The site is open to visitors. The Oregon Dunes stretch forty miles along the coast — the largest coastal dune field in North America, sand mountains up to 500 feet that bury and uncover forests, the landscape itself in motion. The file's documented spine is the dunes' living geology: a desert on the Pacific that reshapes itself with the wind, swallowing trees and exposing them again. FIGURES IN THE SAND The lore reports figures in the dunes — the dead reportedly seen, the file's haunting being the shifting ground's own: presences in a landscape that moves, the dunes' dead reportedly still crossing the sand that never holds a shape. The dunes dead are the file's entity — a landscape that buries and reveals reportedly keeping its people, the figures on the sand the coast's residue. WHY THIS FILE MATTERS The Oregon Dunes are the archive's moving-landscape file — North America's largest coastal dunes, keeping figures reportedly in the sand. The documented dunes are the record; the dead are the lore of a landscape that swallows and reveals. A dune field that buries forests keeps its dead moving — the file's suggestion being that the sand's figures shift with the dunes.
