The Midnight Drive

Alaska's Haunted Hotels | Why Some Places Never Let Go


Listen Later

Hotels were never meant to become permanent.

People arrive with a suitcase.

They unpack.

They sleep.

Then they continue their journey.

Tonight on The Midnight Drive we visit Alaska's historic hotels to explore why places designed for temporary stays often become permanent parts of our collective memory. Together we'll examine the stories of Scary Mary, Lydia, and the Historic Anchorage Hotel while reflecting on waiting, loss, expectation, and the countless ordinary lives that quietly passed through these hallways.

Instead of asking whether these buildings are haunted, we'll consider another possibility.

Perhaps places remember us because meaningful moments leave impressions that outlast the people who experienced them.

Drive safe.
