Overview

Walk the misty streets of Alaska’s “First City” on a spine-tingling ghost tour through Ketchikan’s haunted history. Led by expert storytellers from American Ghost Walks, this tour blends local legends, real ghost sightings, and unexplained phenomena. You’ll visit historic sites like the Gilmore Hotel, Tongass Trading Company, and Creek Street’s red-light district—where spirits of madams, miners, and even cryptids may still roam. Hear tales of shadowy figures, floating beds, haunted hospitals, and legendary beings like the Kushtaka and Sasquatch. It’s not a haunted house—it’s real history with a supernatural twist.

Activity itinerary

The Rock

  • 10m
Start your journey at this waterfront sculpture honoring Ketchikan’s pioneers—loggers, bush pilots, frontierswomen, and a Tlingit drummer said to channel the spirit world.

Ketchikan Sign

  • 5m
Snap a photo under Ketchikan’s iconic archway—but hear the legend of the time it twisted into a frown, a bad omen for fishermen that still unsettles the locals.

Gilmore Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

  • 15m
  • Admission ticket included
At the historic Gilmore Hotel, you’ll hear about a shadowy man seen pacing with a cigar, chairs that move on their own, and a ghostly woman in white who stares from the windows before vanishing. Some guests even report waking up to find themselves floating above their beds—especially in Room 208, the most haunted room in the building.

Tongass Trading Company

  • 10m
Inside Alaska’s oldest operating store, strange things linger among the souvenirs. Staff have heard footsteps in empty rooms, seen objects move on their own, and even held conversations with coworkers who weren’t actually there. This former hotel may still have some ghostly guests checking in.

Eagle Park

  • 10m
Beneath the wings of a massive carved eagle, you’ll learn about Alaska’s legendary Thunderbird—said to cause lightning with its eyes and thunder with its wings. Some say it’s just folklore. Others have seen it. Witness accounts describe a bird so big it was mistaken for a plane.

Pioneer Hall

  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
Built by “Six-Shooter” Grant, this is Ketchikan’s oldest building. After his sudden, mysterious death, many wonder—did he ever truly leave his beloved customs house?

The OutPost

  • 10m
Footsteps upstairs. Children’s laughter in an empty building. Employees chase invisible pranksters through this old department store—possibly the spirits of students from the former mission school.

Chief Kyan Totem Pole

  • 10m
Rub the bear’s belly for luck—just don’t ignore the spiritual side. Discover reincarnation stories so compelling a leading researcher came to Ketchikan to investigate.

Chief Johnson Totem Pole

  • 10m
This iconic pole tells the story of Fog Woman—who brings salmon and fog each spring. In Southeast Alaska, fog isn’t just weather. It’s a warning the spirit world is near.

Star Gallery

  • 10m
Once Ketchikan’s largest brothel, The Star has survived fire, Prohibition, and whispered voices in the night. Guests sometimes hear a woman gently calling out, “Hello?”

Dolly's House Museum

  • 5m
  • Admission ticket not included
The most famous madam in town might still be home. Guests report shadows, floral perfume, and even sightings of her long-dead lover, still trying to get back inside.

Ketchikan Creek Bridge

  • 5m
This bridge once connected downtown with the red-light district—and many never made it across. Visitors fell, or were pushed. Some say the water still remembers.
