Some of these cemeteries are haunted while some of them are just spooky enough to keep you from walking past them on your way home in the evening. If you think you’re brave, then check out this list of abandoned or haunted cemeteries around Alaska and see how late you can stay out wandering the aisles between graves. Make sure to pay your respects to the dead and remember, ghosts aren’t real… or are they?
- Sitka, Alaska
Melinda Shelton | Flickr Here is an old, abandoned Russian cemetery in the heart of Sitka. Roots of trees are begining to upend some of the headstones and moss grows freely. This is somewhere I wouldn’t want to be caught in the middle of the night.
- Barrow, Alaska
Brian | Flickr This spooky cemetery just outside of Barrow, Alaska is either dark for days on end or eerily lit up by the midnight sun. It can be considered spooky all year round!
- Hooper Bay Cemetery
Travis | Flickr The only thing brightening up the Hooper Bay Cemetery is the bright colors flowers in the spring. Otherwise, this cemetery sits waiting with a heavy fog and dreary presence.
- Kennecott Cemetery
NPS CulturalLandscapes | Flickr The fenced in graves of the Kennecott Cemetery have been out of commission since 1938.
- Ninilchik Church and Cemetery
Amaury Laporte | Flickr While passing through Kenai you may see a quaint cemetery on the hill. Though this cemetery may look as friendly as a cemetery could, it is also rumored to be haunted by the ghosts of the servants of the old church.
- Kotzebue Cemetery
Joseph | Flickr Another spooky cemetery that sits off the beaten path. I dare you to spend an evening wandering through this cemetery in Kotzebue, Alaska.
- Birch Hill Cemetery
Travis | Flickr The Birch Hill Cemetery is known for sightings of a girl in a white dress who haunts the rows of graves with a foggy black apparition and a young boy.
Did any of these cemeteries give you the chills?
