Haunting at the Hotel Sorrento - Washington

from Haunted American History · host Christopher Feinstein

Seattle’s Hotel Sorrento has long been called one of the most haunted hotels in America. Guests whisper about phantom piano music, drinks that slide across tables, and a playful spirit said to be none other than Alice B. Toklas—famed partner of Gertrude Stein and counterculture icon. But did Toklas ever even set foot in the hotel? And if not, who really haunts these historic halls?In this episode, we peel back the layers of legend to uncover the strange story of how a celebrity ghost came to overshadow a very real tragedy inside the Sorrento. From moving glasses and phantom roses to a forgotten bellboy’s death, we dive into folklore, fact, and the psychology of haunted places.
