3rd & Broadway, Skagway, Alaska (907) 983-2451
Apparently there exists two ghostly entities, one of them named Mary. Mary seems to spend her time on the third floor in room 23 (left). The story surrounding Mary is she had caught pneumonia while waiting for her fiancé to return from a gold prospecting expedition. Unfortunately, Mary died from her illness in her room. Guests have witnessed images of her as well as experiencing choking sensations (perhaps pneumonia like?).
The second ghostly activity seems to take place on the second floor in room 14. An orb or a strange “light” appears in the room at night. Its origination is unknown...for now.
Today, you can stay
in one of its 31 rooms, dedicated to gold rush families and filled with
their mementos and antiques. The first floor offers a 60 seat pub, 80
seat Victorian style restaurant, 30 seat outdoor patio and Southeast
Alaska’s first microbrewery.
Hopefully (or not), you might get a chance to run into Mary or see the
orb in room 14. Please use the following link for the Golden North Hotel to learn more about this haunted old-timer: http://www.skagwayoutlet.com/golden.html

While enjoying
a rustic, frontier-filled day of hiking and fishing, and it's time to settle down for the
evening at The Historic Anchorage Hotel, don't be surprised by its long-time
guests....ghosts! The oldest hotel in Anchorage, it's not
surprising it has a haunted history. 
Located
in the small and charming town of Skagway (Southeast Alaska), the
Golden North Hotel is an old dame of a hotel. 
Housed
within the popular Juneau’s Historic Silverbow Inn is their
world-famous bakery, aptly named the Silverbow Bakery (left).
Okay, it may not be world-famous but it does hold the distinction of
being the oldest operating bakery in the State of Alaska. It also holds
the distinction of being haunted by its founder, Gus Messerschmidt
(below). In 1898, Messerschmidt immigrated to Alaska from Austria
and opened a bakery, where he and his family lived in an apartment above
the bakery.
Gus died in 1938, but it is believed that he still hangs around his
beloved bakery making himself known especially to the early risers.
No worries though, the ghost is rumored to be a friendly presence.
