A haunted hotel in Baker City, Oregon

As we all know, travel opportunities were extremely limited during the Covid pandemic, especially before vaccines were widely available. About a year into the pandemic, some friends invited me to go to Baker City, Oregon for a few days as a change of scenery. I was on the fence about it, until I did some […]
