Haunted Alaska

by Ron Wendt

Overview

They are watching us, these ghosts of the North. They cook breakfast, play cards, mine gold, turn on radios, and play the piano. Haunted Alaska is a collection of ghost stories that will raise the hair on the back of your neck. These astonishing stories tell of miners terrorized by spirits wandering their claims, of roadhouse owners visited daily by ghosts, and of reindeer herders who run in fear as one of their own departed comes back in spirit form to continue his duties after death.

Editorial Reviews

Alaskan ghosts aren't lazy. Not content to tap on tables, these frontier spirits cook breakfast, play cards, mine gold, and turn on radios. They even try their vaporous hands at piano and drive phantom Model T's. Lifelong Alaskan Ron Wendt has collected dozens of stories about these energetic interlopers from the Other Side.
