Haunted St. John Bridge Portland Oregan -> Located in St. Johns, just under the east side of the St. Johns Bridge (indeed, the bridge itself provides the parks name), Cathedral Park is a study in contractions. Built under one of the final gothic style bridges in the country, Cathedral Park was not always the idyllic location Portlanders find it today. Once a location for flagrant prostitution, drug dealing, and other unsavory actions, Cathedral Park claimed its first spirit; when poor Thelma Taylor, a 14-year old girl, was kidnapped, beaten, and finally death days later underneath the bridge. While Portland police will not confirm or deny the calls, many a local reside have made claims of an unearthly scream coming from the park. Each time the police find no evidence of the screaming girl. In recent years, Cathedral Park (and most of St. Johns) has gone through a positive metamorphosis. No longer a haven for illegal activities, Cathedral Park is one of the more pleasant parks within the city… until the sun goes down and the spirits rise. info by geekinthecity info by wikipedia, states the girl was 15
