Is Tillamook Air Museum haunted?

The record holds 2 claims, 2 legends, 1 named entity — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed local folklore. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.

The record — long form

The Tillamook Air Museum is Hangar B — the 1943 wooden blimp hangar, one of the largest clear-span wooden structures on earth, built to house the Navy's coastal-patrol blimps that hunted Japanese submarines off Oregon.

The file's documented spine is the hangar's scale: a building of timber the size of a city block, raised in wartime to shelter airships, now holding the museum's aircraft under the world's biggest wooden roof.

The airmen in the hangar

The lore reports figures in the hangar — the dead reportedly seen, the file's ghosts being the station's own: the airmen who flew the blimp patrols reportedly still in the hangar that sheltered their ships.

The airmen are the file's entity — a naval air station's wooden cathedral reportedly keeping its crews, the hangar's figures the patrol era's residue.

Why this file matters

Hangar B is the archive's blimp-hangar file — the world's largest wooden structure, built for the war's coastal patrol, keeping airmen reportedly still inside. The documented hangar is the record; the lingering crews are the lore of a base that watched the coast.

A hangar that sheltered blimps keeps its airmen — the file's suggestion being that Tillamook's crews never fully stood down.
