POPULARITY
The tale of the Lady in White at Stow Lake in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park has long been whispered about by locals. Described as the ghost of a woman in a flowing white gown, the story often recounts her tragic search for her lost child, eternally wandering the park in the dead of night. Some have called it an urban legend, but in truth, it may be more of a myth—a cautionary tale born from parental concerns in the early 1900s. In an era when parks were poorly lit and considered potentially dangerous at night, parents needed a way to keep their children away after dark. The story of a grieving ghost became a chilling warning that would stick in the minds of adventurous youth. By weaving a sense of the supernatural into the park's serene waters and towering trees, parents effectively turned Stow Lake into a place to avoid after sunset. Unlike traditional urban legends, which often contain grains of truth or historical connections, there is no documented evidence or credible eyewitness accounts to substantiate the existence of the Lady in White. Instead, her story likely grew out of the imaginations of early residents, fueled by whispers and exaggerations over time. Today, the Lady in White endures as part of San Francisco's cultural folklore, a haunting figure that speaks more to the fears of the past than to any ghostly reality. While she may not be real, her legend remains a reminder of how myths can shape our relationship with the spaces around us.

In this week's episode Sandra talks about the Ghost of Stow Lake. Located in The Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, CA, the ghost of Stow Lake is a local legend that has been around for over one hundred years. In one version of the tale a young girl in the Victorian era was in a row boat with her baby when the baby fell into the lake. She jumped in after the baby and unfortunately both drowned. In another version of the story a young girl was walking in the park with her baby, sat down and started talking with another woman. After some time the pram fell into the lake. Not realizing the baby was in the lake, the young girl ran around asking people if they saw her baby. She later found the baby in the lake and supposedly drowned. Today, people have had sightings of her since 1908. People say that a ghost in a white dress with fair hair will come up to you asking if you have seen her baby. If you say yes, she will haunt you, if you say no she will kill you. Then, Danielle discusses the charismatic, and forceful, Carrie Nation. She was also known as Carry A. Nation. She was a part of the temperance movement and was staunchly anti-alcohol. She believed drinking brought out all the wickedness in men. When Carrie didn't think preaching in the streets was making a big enough impact she decided to take a more physical approach. She would go to various saloons and smash all the bottles with a hatchet. The public was both scared and fascinated by this woman.

This episode of the Ground Shots Podcast is a conversation with Ali Meders-Knight, out of Chico, California. Ali Meders-Knight is a Mechoopda tribal member, mother of five, and traditional basketweaver based in Chico, CA. She is a Mechoopda Tribal liaison working to form partnerships for federal forest stewardship contracting and tribal forestry programs authorized in the 2018 Farm Bill. She has been a Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) practitioner for over 20 years, collaborating on environmental education and land restoration projects with Chico State University and the City of Chico. In 2009 she helped plan and establish Verbena Fields, a unique 17-acre interactive food forest and interpretive park in North Chico to help educate the community about the rich ecological heritage of the Mechoopda people. In this episode with Ali, we talk about: what is TEK? Ali explains the advanced nature of Traditional Ecological Knowledge which is evolving ecosystem knowledge and land tending techniques acquired by indigenous peoples over hundreds or thousands of years through direct contact with the land issues around forest management in California and the U.S. on the whole, and how money has influenced decisions made about management strategies instead of what makes the most sense for the land and the local community why forest management should be localized and indigenous led the intentions and goals of the TEKChico project: creating a trained workforce that can complete long term contracts with the USDA to manage forests locally how disaster capitalism influences land management and doesn't actually take care of people and the land the need for fire on the landscape in California modern cultural misunderstandings of fire and how trauma and racism play into these misunderstandings how the 2018 US Farm Bill increased federal support and opportunity for Native farmers and ranchers, and how this bill links federal land management needs more directly to sovereign indigenous nations Links: TEK CHICO's website: http://www.TEKChico.org 2018 Farm Bill info: https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/IF11287.pdf Support the podcast on Patreon to contribute to our grassroots self-funding of this project.

Elizabeth Lake Monster, The Ghost of Stow Lake, and what urban legends show would be complete without a Bigfoot account. No Jordan this week, but don't worry he is still a host of the show. Settle into the campfire everyone and remember, Stay Toasty! Thank you to everyone for the continued support of the show! If you would like to get in touch with Ryan and Jordan you can email us at creepycampfirepodcast@gmail.com. We would be honored to hear personal stories from our listeners. Whether it's alien abduction, ghost encounters, fights with cryptids, or visits from the Men in Black we want to hear about it. Seriously. No matter how big or small we want to hear your story. If you give us the permission we would even love to include it in the show! It could be in the form of us simply reading your email, or even an interview on the show with us. Thanks again for listening everyone, and don't forget to share us on your social media, rate, subscribe, and tell a friend! Companion Site: creepycampfirepodcast.weebly.com

In episode 11, Marie reads listener mail from Maryland about a ghost that follows a listener home from a bar, the ghost of Stow Lake in San Francisco, and the ghost in the Kjer Theatre in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. She also retells the story of her great uncle coming to warn her mother in the middle of the night. Stay spooky.
