The Story

A former innkeeper called Octavia is the figure usually named in Orcas Hotel lore. Stories describe faucets turning themselves on or off, footsteps overhead and a woman in old-fashioned clothing. Some visitors also report an infant’s crying coming from inside a wall; the sources do not establish the identity behind that sound.
