Summary

In this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the eerie elegance of San Francisco’s Queen Anne Hotel—an opulent Victorian mansion that once housed a prestigious girls' finishing school. But beneath its carved woodwork and floral wallpaper lies a ghost story unlike any other. For over a century, rumors have swirled about the benevolent spirit of Miss Mary Lake, the school’s former headmistress, said to still roam the halls, especially Room 410.  Guests report waking up to find themselves tucked in, their luggage neatly unpacked, or the sensation of a maternal presence gently hovering in the room. 

Is this the work of an intelligent spirit, or just the imagination primed by antique charm and creaky floorboards? Tony separates fact from fiction, interviews believers and skeptics, and takes listeners on a suspenseful journey through one of California’s most enduring hauntings.
