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.
