ApparitionsUnexplained SoundsResidual Hauntings

The operator's own page states that in 2007, in Room 315 of the Alaskan Hotel, a U.S. Navy sailor who had requested a room with a reputation for hauntings was later found to have written 'Help!' on the wall in his own blood before falling from the third-story window, and that echoes of the incident have reportedly been captured on security cameras since. The tour also covers Red Dog Saloon, tied by the operator to the reported spirit of 'Professor Phineas Poon,' and Silverbow Inn, where the operator describes reported footsteps and moving furniture. The Juneau Drug Co. building is linked by the operator to victims of the 1918 sinking of the SS Princess Sophia, a documented maritime disaster off the Alaska coast, with its basement described as a temporary morgue. The State Office Building stop is tied by the operator to Alaska's last state execution, and the tour separately covers land otter-man folklore associated with Mt. Juneau and Tlingit reincarnation traditions the operator connects to the Sealaska Heritage Institute.

All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, describing what the tour covers rather than an independently verified account of any location's history or of Tlingit tradition. The Princess Sophia disaster and Alaska's last execution are real historical events; they are described here only in the general terms the operator uses on its own tour page, without added detail.
