The ghost of a dog-faced boy has been seen near parked cars along this street several times in the last thirty years. The boy was a deformed child who had supported himself by selling pencils and stealing from cars. History says he was murdered here in 1926 after he was caught stealing from someone’s vehicle. Reported sightings have occured on Pioneer Street and in the parking lot of Lithia Park, where the Oregon Shakespearean Festival Theater now stands.
