Cannon Beach, Oregon, is just one of the beautiful towns along the state’s coastline. However, this quaint community has a terrifying secret: there’s a blood-drenched mummy that terrorizes a specific stretch of Highway 101. So, what are the chances that you’ll be torn to shreds by a blood-soaked mummy if you visit Cannon Beach? If you ask me, pretty low. And, as I mentioned near the beginning of this article, Cannon Beach is a beautiful area full of great people and natural beauty. But, still, if you do choose to visit, keep your head on a swivel when driving on Highway 101 at night. The Bandage Man might just be lurking. On the other hand, the beach has also become closely associated with an unfriendly and devious entity known as the Bandage Man. The Bandage Man: The Ghost of Cannon Beach Lincoln Beach is recognized as having some of the best beachcombing for shells, starfish, sea glass, and more on the sand and in the tide pools. The legend varies as to who he was but most consistently the story states he was a logger in the 1930s who was badly injured on the job. He was wrapped in bandages and sent away in an ambulance. However, that ambulance fell victim to a landslide en route to the hospital on the old Highway 101. When the rescue crew arrived at the landslide location he was reportedly gone.
