Bad things are happening

Last summer, you couldn’t help but notice that the crew from the popular show “Ghost Adventures” was filming in Astoria. Locals were delighted to run into the show’s adventurers, Zak Bagans, Aaron Goodwin, Billy Tolley and Jay Wasley, around town.

Now, at last, you can see what they found, ghost-wise, in our fairly haunted city and the surrounding areas, when the four-part miniseries, “Graveyard of the Pacific,” begins at 6 p.m. Saturday on the Travel Channel.

The ghost hunting team covered Astoria’s underground shanghai tunnels and Norblad Hotel, Fort Stevens, and the North Head Lighthouse, where many ships wrecked against the cliff below, and a lighthouse keeper’s wife committed suicide.

The “Ghost Adventures” team is pictured at the Iredale shipwreck (courtesy of a Travel Channel video), close to Clatsop Spit, where thousands ships were wrecked and countless souls lost. As a result, Zak Bagans is convinced that “bad things are happening to the living.”

So break out the popcorn and get ready to shiver yer timbers. Goulies, and ghosties, and demons, oh my!
