Virtual Tour of The Ahwahnee Hotel - The Mary Curry Tressider Suite

The primary ghost story at the Ahwahnee is that the entire 6th floor is haunted by the ghost of Mary Curry Tressider, who lived on the 6th floor until she passed away in 1970. We ran into a nice couple who were staying in the Tressider room, which was formerly her bedroom. They let us look at the room and told us they were convinced her ghost was in their room the previous night. A storm had blown in and with the wind whistling through the trees and around the building it was a bit spooky sounding. Above the bed in this suite are two lamps, each shaped like a arm protruding from the wall, with each having a hand holding an electric candle. I wish I had taken a picture of them! I´m not sure if the people were spooked or just like to sleep with the lights on but they left the two "hand" lights on above their bed when they went to sleep. The two lights over the bed suddenly went off- but the other room lights stayed on! I don't think they slept too much that night. These are photos of Mary Curry Tressider on the wall in the Tressider suite.

I hope you enjoyed this tour! If you are interested, there are even more photos that didn't make the virtual tour. See the Bonus Features for our photo out-takes.
