Haunted Alaska
If you love exploring long-forgotten ghost towns and abandoned mines far from the beaten path, you will enjoy Ron Wendt's Haunted Alaska, a collection of ghost stories about real-life encounters with wandering spirits in the great outback of Alaska and the Yukon. An Alaskan native, Wendt has spent years listening to old-timers relate their stories about the eerie goings on around old mine camps, century-old hotels, and towns that long ago disappeared from modern maps.
Making the book even more interesting to four-wheelers is a two-page map of Alaska, the Yukon, and the Aleutian Islands that pinpoints where each of the 15 stories occurred, which makes it an excellent starting point to begin planning a trip to some of the camps and towns mentioned within.
Whether you're thinking about a trip to Alaska and are wondering where to begin researching the wealth of history in the great North or are just looking for something interesting to read around the campfire on your next sojourn, Haunted Alaska will both enlighten and entertain.
