Queen Anne Hotel - reported 'Mary Lake' apparition

The Queen Anne Hotel at the former site of a late-19th-century girls' school is the subject of longstanding reports that guests and staff have seen the figure of a woman believed locally to be a former headmistress. The building opened as a private school before becoming a hotel, and several published local accounts and hotel histories recount these alleged sightings. These reports are anecdotal and treated as folklore by historians and skeptics. The hotel operates at the same address today and acknowledges the stories as part of its local lore.
