Walk Juneau's most haunted locations. 13 stops, self-guided. 3 stops free. No guide, no schedule — just you and the dark.
Gold killed more people in Juneau than it ever made rich. The most haunted places in Alaska's capital trace back to the Gold Rush, when miners, prostitutes, and speculators flooded a wilderness that wasn't theirs. The Alaskan Hotel, built in 1913, is the oldest operating hotel in the state — Room 315 belongs to Alice, who ran prostitutes while her husband worked the claims. He found out. She disappeared. The Treadwell Mine on Douglas Island employed 2,000 workers and collapsed catastrophically in 1917, flooding tunnels where men were still working. At Perseverance Trail, cave-ins and dynamite accidents killed hundreds between 1880 and 1944. St. Nicholas Orthodox Church, built 1894, produces liturgical chanting in an empty sanctuary. Walk 13 free, self-guided stops through Juneau's frozen past.
