1. Boy I know a lot of those places after 10 years in Alaska.

It is sure a nice place to live even if they do have ghost.

alone in the night in the dark...

It is said that when the Dimond center was first built, the grounds under it were sacred burial grounds from thousands of years ago, dating back to when natives first roamed the lands. While digging up the grounds to build the mall, workers came across a few graves, but due the fact they were so old and small they continued digging. Now the ghosts roam the areas and like to appear in front of lone people in the bathrooms and smaller hallways in the mall.

4. I've seen graves along that Chitina railroad bed...

...but they were Russian Orthodox crosses. Is this what they're talking about or actual gravestones? That used to be a beautiful hike back there before they opened the road to vehicles. Did they close it back up after the landslide a few years ago, do you know?
