PORT TOWNSEND, Washington, USA—Sorrow lies buried in the basement of the Tibbals Building on Water Street, said the Port Angeles star of Mystic Radio.

She and a team of investigators from PIHA, Paranormal Investigations of Historic America of Monroe—spent Friday night at what is now the Palace Hotel at 1004 Water St., which is believed to be haunted by the Lady in Blue.
