On this week’s Late Night Legends, Charlie guides us deep into the Portland Shanghai Tunnels—where history, hauntings, and horror collide beneath the streets. We uncover the chilling practice of crimping (aka legalized kidnapping), sinister ghost stories that still rattle the underground, and the dark origin of the phrase “slipping someone a mickey.”

K, Maria, Tim, and Frank join Charlie in exploring this mix of terrifying and hilarious, proving once again that the line between history and horror is razor thin.

👻 Want to laugh at the absurdity of human cruelty, hear about restless spirits, and wonder if your next basement step is your last? Then grab a drink, dim the lights, and join the Legends.

Here at the Late Night Legends, we think spooky season should last all year long! Join our spooky community to ask the Legends questions, and keep the conversation going!
