The Historic Anchorage Hotel

Alaska's oldest hotel (1916) is haunted by John Sturgus — a police officer who was shot and killed in the building in 1921. He appears in full uniform in the basement and has been photographed as an anomalous figure by guests unaware of the hotel's history. A woman on the second floor is seen in a rocking chair, and the old elevator operates independently on the floor where Sturgus died.
