A mysterious 19th-century “ghost wagon” has appeared in an Oregon lake.
Salem, Ore.-based photographer and Marine Corps veteran Jeffrey Green posted an image of the wagon to Instagram on Jan. 23. In the post, Green explained that, for a couple of weeks in December 2019, the lake had to have its water drastically drawn down for dam maintenance.
“I headed up and searched 3 times while the water dropped day-by-day until I found this ‘historic utility wagon’, which had been left behind at the normally underwater site of the original town (site submerged in 1952),” Green wrote in the post. “Needless to say, it was an amazing experience to see it...

I received the following email and photo from JP.
Just wanted to send you a pic of a couple of things I found a few months ago... I saw the post you had about a find Jonah and another hunter had made awhile back. I found the same EXACT pieces! I found 2 of them and my hunting buddy got one as well. From what I was told these were some sort of button adornments. Neat finds! Glad to see others found some as well. Cheers!

A possible portion of a human hip bone was found by a person walking the beach Jan. 18, and state and tribal officials found more bones Wednesday while inspecting the area, tribal and Clallam County officials said Wednesday and Thursday.
The remains, all found in the same general area, are being examined by state archaeologists...

White said the harbor waterfront was occupied centuries ago by a Klallam fishing village whose inhabitants harvested halibut.
The bank along the Waterfront Trail where the remains were found “is collapsing,” White said.
“Storm surges hammered out that bank.” ...
