Ever notice how a building breathes differently after a fresh coat of paint—and how the air seems to carry older voices when the lights dim? We lean into spooky season with a trip through Baker City’s restored Geyser Grand Hotel and along the wind-bitten cliffs below the Heceta Head Lighthouse, weaving jokes, folklore, and lived experience into a single thread: when you revive a place, you often wake the stories sleeping inside it.
Our path starts in a boomtown where stained glass and mahogany came back to life—and so did the whispers. Room 302 has its gentle guardian who loves rose perfume and “borrows” shiny things, while the kitchen still belongs to a headless chef who won’t surrender his line. In the saloon, the clink of glasses and the shuffle of cards suggest a poker game that refuses to fold. Each account turns the hotel from a museum into a conversation partner, proof that preservation isn’t just woodwork; it’s memory work.
Then we trade prairie dust for sea spray. At Heceta Head, the haunting feels personal, almost domestic. Locals call her Rue—a keeper’s wife whose loss lingers in tidy gestures and midnight humming. Books find shelves. Glasses migrate to the sink. A window seems to clean itself in a corner with no floor. This isn’t spectacle; it’s a ritual of care against the largest graveyard on earth: the ocean. We talk about why these stories endure, how grief and routine shape space, and where we’re headed next—East Coast battlefields, Día de los Muertos collaborations, and a careful dive into yūrei and yokai.
If you love haunted hotels, lighthouse legends, and the tender hush of good folklore, brew a cup and press play. Tell a friend who believes, a skeptic who laughs, and someone who’s stayed up late in an old house hearing more than wind. Subscribe, share, and leave a review to help more curious listeners find the show. Where should we go ghost-hunting next?
