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.

In this episode, Laura shares three haunting auditory experiences that have left her questioning the unseen forces around us. In 1991, while serving as a Mormon missionary in Puerto Rico, Laura and her companion were disturbed by the sound of a chair being dragged across the room. Later, as her mother battled cancer, Laura heard snoring and crochet needles clicking in her bedroom—sounds reminiscent of her mother. Finally, after watching The Conjuring 2, Laura was terrified by the sound of boxes being dragged in her attic and knocking in threes. Though she’s never seen a ghost, these eerie encounters have shown her there’s more to the world than meets the eye.

Joy’s struggle with depression began at the age of 12, but it wasn’t just a mental health issue—something darker seemed to be pulling her deeper into despair. The voices she heard, the terrifying visions of demons, and the physical manifestations of her torment felt like more than just a condition. It was as if the demons weren’t just in her mind—they were real. For years, Joy battled this unseen force, sinking deeper into isolation and pain. Then, an unexpected call from her mother led to a mission trip to Jamaica, where everything changed. There, she found a Bible, opened it to a random page, and read the words "joy, peace be with you." In that moment, everything shifted. The demons faded, the darkness lifted, and for the first time in years, Joy felt free.

Alisa thought she was just moving into a quiet country house—until the land itself started to come alive. First came the quick silver flashes darting through hallways, then the ghostly little boy who liked to appear beside an abandoned farm truck. Digging into local lore, Alisa’s family uncovered a forgotten cemetery on the edge of the property and learned the acreage once sat on Native American ground. But nothing prepared her for the night a glowing, bird-like figure burst from thin air and shot down the corridor, forcing her to bolt for the porch in sheer panic. Was the activity rooted in restless pioneers, displaced spirits, or something even older than recorded history?

Ana from Arizona shares her curious experiences growing up in a house that, while not officially haunted, certainly had its share of strange occurrences. From a mysterious figure in a white suit walking past her window to a night when the TV and every light in the house were turned on with no explanation, Ana recalls moments that defied logic. The creepiest of all? A deep, ghostly “shh” that echoed through the house when her dad was away, despite no one else being there.

Tonight, we explore a spirit’s final goodbye that still lingers years later

Tom recounts his time running a country store near a Civil War battlefield in the early 2000s. While living in the trailer behind the store, Tom began to experience a series of strange and eerie events—crutches falling on their own, a radio mysteriously turning on, and waking up at 3:33 AM every night. But it was the night he woke up unable to breathe and saw a shadow move across his room that truly terrified him. As he reflects on these unsettling occurrences, Tom wonders if they’re connected to an unexpected find while metal detecting near the old battlefield—a pristine Civil War officer’s button. Could the spirit of a long-dead soldier be haunting his home?

A wrong turn down a lonely Virginia backroad should have led Crystal and her husband to nothing more than late-night boredom. Instead, it delivered a scene straight out of a supernatural thriller. Beneath a silent overpass, a towering, cloaked figure appeared—so tall it seemed to scrape the night sky. Seconds later it plunged toward their windshield, vanishing before impact, leaving no dents, no footprints, and no explanation except the thundering heartbeat of two terrified witnesses. Did they glimpse a flesh-and-blood daredevil, a misfired optical illusion… or a creature that isn’t meant to exist?
