A day was spent in the sunshine and shade of towering pine trees as we hiked a well-traveled trail on Cape Arago Highway to the site of a deserted World War II Lookout Bunker. Men stood guard in this bunker during the war, keeping a close eye on the Oregon coastline for the threat of enemy invasion. And, although roofless now, this sturdy concrete three room structure stand tall and proud, all wall intact and the smokestacks standing against the backdrop of the forest, very much the same as it did in WWII.
Rumors of this location being haunted have been whispered about for decades. And, after hearing some of the EVP I recorded there, I must concur that there is something "other worldly" that remains within the concrete confines of the bunker.
However, whether you believe it or not, the hike it beautiful and invigorating, and a quite, historic location to stop for lunch before continuing on the 2.5 mile hike that leads you to 400 feet above sea level.
This is amazing loved how your writing. Just had to share my thoughts :)
ReplyDeleteMy son, niece, her two kiddos and I hiked the trail starting at the opposite end to find the bunker. When we finally arrived at the bunker my son and I had a real uneasy-eerie feeling while there. We will be going back to the bunker to visit it again.
