Episode notes

About this episode

Alaska’s haunted places reflect the state’s history of prospecting, transportation, tourism, education and remote settlement. This episode travels from Anchorage and Skagway to Juneau, Ketchikan, Whittier and the interior, visiting historic hotels alongside schools and abandoned buildings.

Anchorage stops include the Historic Anchorage Hotel, Hotel Captain Cook, West Anchorage High School and the White House Bed & Breakfast. In Skagway, the route visits the Red Onion Saloon and Golden North Hotel; in Juneau, the Silverbow Inn Hotel & Suites and the Alaskan Hotel. The episode also explores Dolly’s House and Ketchikan High School in Ketchikan.

The final locations are the former Arctic Circle Hot Springs Resort and two Whittier landmarks: the Buckner Building and Begich Towers. Each has a documented role in its community, while the supernatural accounts remain stories reported by staff, residents or visitors.
