Ghosts of Oregon History I Wish I Could Meet (& Some I'm Glad I Didn't)

Dive into the eerie side of Oregon's past in this episode of Same Crime, Different Time. Host Jennifer Chambers explores the lives—and lingering presences—of figures like Eliza Young, the last of the Kalapuya, and the brave Sheriff W. W. Withers. From pioneering women to unsolved murders, we uncover the haunting stories that shaped the Pacific Northwest.Thanks to writer David Lewis, who has the most incredible book, The Indigenous History of the Willamette Valley, which I very much recommend, and to the researchers at Lane Community College and the University of Oregon. Most importantly, I appreciate the work done by the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians of Oregon, who have generously shared their stories and culture.
