I've visited once! I live in Idaho (unfortunately). But yes, beautiful little town.

I was listening while walking our favorite Akita through a sometimes spooky trail. Added to the ambience 😅

How cool that you take us into these spaces! Your photograph of the red curtains in the dark hallway is amazing, as most of the photos are.

Thank you so much, Kara!! That means a lot coming from you. I always admire your pictures. The area behind the red curtains was so heavy so I’m glad they did it justice. 😍

Oh thank you for taking the time to read! I was a little nervous referencing something you spoke about on the podcast so long ago but it really stuck with me. I hope you don’t mind. I went to listen to your more recent episode but she sent us back to your Lizzie Borden episode so I’m slowly catching up.😊 p.s. I thought I was the only one who was terrified at Lizzie Borden. I ended up leaving before sunrise. 🤦🏻‍♀️

No, I loved it so much. I feel really passionate about that so I was happy to read your reference. And yeah, the Lizzie Borden house is WILD. You're not alone! Haha.

I felt like I should be reading this with a flashlight under the covers at summer camp, if I was still at an age to be at camp. What a wonderful experience!! And I love all the whimsy you explored!!

I love the moody shots, Lyns. What a great old hotel, and Astoria looks intriguing! In picture of the gym I sense the heaviness you mentioned. Thanks for recreating your experience and offering insights from your ghostly encounters.

I really love reading about your expeditions. The photos were great too. That’s the most off-putting hotel fitness room I’ve ever seen. And the “whimsy” synchronicities! So cool.

Lyns McCracken's avatar

Oh wow thanks Chris! Thats so cool I’m glad you like it! I have so many more I need to write up. And yes that fitness room was a little woozy 🥴 I totally loved it! Thank you for taking the time to read and comment.

Lyns, I listen to your voice on this one and I feel like I know you better and also that you may be pronouncing your name Linn – C, is that correct?

This is a fantastic post, great descriptions, captivating, and scary as usual

Thank you 😘
