  • Three True Cozy Ski Lodge Hauntings

    Three True Cozy Ski Lodge Hauntings
    Jan 9 2026
    In this episode of True Cozy Ghost Stories, we bundle up and follow the hush of freshly fallen snow into three iconic winter resorts where warm fires glow, boots dry by the door… and a few longtime guests may never have checked out.

    These stories aren’t about jump scares or sinister shadows, but the gentle, lingering kind of haunting: a lost snowboarder guided home by a polite stranger in red, a red-haired little girl wandering a historic hotel’s quiet halls, and the soft scent of perfume drifting through a grand mountain room long after its original occupant departed. Each tale is inspired by documented reports, legends, and staff testimonies — lovingly adapted into first-person storytelling in true cozy fashion.

    ⛷️ First, in The Castle in the Snow, we travel to the Fairmont Banff Springs in the Canadian Rockies, where a woman on a ski trip with friends is quietly guided through the mist by a man dressed as an old-fashioned bellman… who may be more spirit than staff.

    🏔️ Next, in The Red-Haired Visitor, we head to Kingfield, Maine and the historic Herbert Grand Hotel — a beloved stop for Sugarloaf skiers — where a gentle but persistent little girl appears at the foot of a guest’s bed, asking not to be left alone.

    🕯️ Finally, in The Lady of Room 314, we arrive at the legendary Mount Washington Resort in New Hampshire, where Princess Carolyn’s former suite may still be occupied by a woman brushing her hair at the foot of an antique four-poster bed, watching snowfall gather on the mountain she loved.

    These stories are based on real reports, eyewitness accounts, and local legends — woven into the soft, storybook world of cozy winter haunting.

    • snowy mountain settings

  • Midnight, Mirrors, and the Woman in White – 3 True Cozy New Year’s Eve Hauntings

    Midnight, Mirrors, and the Woman in White – 3 True Cozy New Year’s Eve Hauntings
    Jan 1 2026
    In this New Year’s Eve episode of True Cozy Ghost Stories, we slip into the quiet places where celebration meets the supernatural. These aren’t jump-scare hauntings or violent spirits—just the gentle, lingering kind that make you pause at the stroke of midnight and listen a little more closely to the hush between sounds.

    We begin at the historic Drake Hotel in Chicago, where a lavish 1920 gala ended in heartbreak. Guests still report seeing the Woman in Red drifting through the tenth floor, her gown catching the light like she’s still waiting for her last dance.

    Next, we travel to Weaverville, North Carolina, where a former doctor’s home turned inn greets New Year’s Eve with picture frames that fall without falling, a back door that opens itself, and a soft yoo-hoo echoing from empty rooms.

    Finally, we enter the realm of folklore with the Lady in White. She appears at New Year’s gatherings across decades and towns, an uninvited guest who never disrupts—only observes. She moves through ballroom doorways and music-filled parlors like memory itself.

    These stories are based on reported sightings, regional folklore, and preserved accounts—gently adapted for the cozy-horror heart.

    Perfect for listeners who love haunted hotels, snow-lit windows, and ghosts that arrive like a sigh when the year turns over.

    • gentle ghost stories
    • haunted hotels and winter folklore
    • cozy horror fiction
    • New Year’s Eve hauntings and liminal spaces
