Paintings Move On Their Own At The Pittock Mansion
Located in Portland, Oregon, the Pittock Mansion is one of the world’s most famous haunted sites. Visitors have reported witnessing supernatural phenomena while visiting the house, including paintings moving on their own.
The mansion was built by Henry and Georgiana Pittock in 1914. Although it was a happy place in the beginning, both husband and wife passed away within 10 years of living in the home they’d built together. Today, the site is a public landmark open to tourists and those with an interest in ghosts and ghouls.
A childhood portrait of Henry has often been spotted moving without being touched, leading many to believe that the mansion is haunted. It is also said that the scent of roses can sometimes be smelled throughout the rooms, even though there are no roses in the house. This may be a sign of Georgiana’s lingering presence since these were her favorite flowers.
