Why is Anchorage So Haunted?
The pain, loss, and sorrow of the souls who lived through Anchorage’s darkest hours have been engrained in the city’s foundation, creating a patchwork of misery and ghostly unrest engulfing its historic district. From the tragic suicides tied to the bleakness of the harsh Alaskan winters to the tortured spirits of those who perished during the vicious gold rush days, the shadows of Anchorage’s past never seem to fade. The mysteries of the “Alaska Triangle,” where over 2,250 people vanish every year without a trace, only added to an already eerie atmosphere, with whispers of inexplicable activity swirling in the cold, dark air.
The devastating 1964 Good Friday Earthquake caused widespread destruction, leaving behind sites of death and devastation that some believe still hold on to its grim memories. Ghostly whispers have been heard along the streets that were once crumbled under the quake’s force as if those who perished are still searching for a way home. The tremors that rattled the grounds left more than physical scars—they opened doors to something far more sinister waiting to be revealed on a spooky stroll with Lizzie Borden Ghost Tours.
At the Eklutna Cemetery in downtown Alaska, the spirit houses of the native Alaskan burial site are said to contain restless souls that aren’t ready to depart. Once a refuge for oil tycoons and transient workers, the Inlet Tower Hotel now hosts guests of a more spectral nature, with reports of cold spots and disembodied voices echoing through its halls. The ghost of Alaska’s first homegrown millionaire seems intent on keeping the 4th Avenue Theatre alive, drifting through the building as if guarding his legacy.
Muriel Pfeil’s violent end left a lasting presence on the site of the Snow City Cafe, and to this day, echoes of her untimely death are said to still ripple through the space. Built on what many say were native burial grounds, reports of phantom wolves roaming the hallways and shadowy figures hovering near the bathrooms suggest that the Dimond Center Mall’s construction disturbed something ancient—and very angry. The spirit of a native woman murdered in 1987 is said to haunt Ship Creek, warning others, particularly vulnerable women, of the looming dangers still lurking along the historic fishing spot.
