Haunted Alaska: Ghost Stories from the Far NorthBeware of reading this book alone on a dark night! They are watching us, these ghosts of the North. They cook breakfast, play cards, mine gold, turn on radios, and play the piano. A logger sees a ghostly Model T drive through his truck. The smell of tobacco wafts through a room where no one is smoking. Fresh footprints are found in the snow, but there is no one for miles around. Haunted Alaska is a collection of ghost stories that will make the hair rise on the back of your neck. They tell of miners harassed by ghosts, of reindeer herders who run in fear as one of their own departed comes back in spirit form, and of human voices heard in an empty woods, complete with the smell of a campfire that isn't there. |
