The Lesser Known Pod

Mysteries of Kenai Fjords National Park


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re heading to one of the most stunning and mysterious places in Alaska—Kenai Fjords National Park. It’s a land of glaciers, rugged wilderness... and a few ghosts.

 

In this episode we discuss:

 

  • The Van Gilder Hotel: Ever wondered what it’s like to share a hotel with a ghost? Meet Fanny Guthrie Baum, the spectral resident of this historic spot, who’s said to make her presence known to guests.
  • The Treacherous Mud Flats: These landscapes might look harmless, but they’ve claimed lives and left behind a spooky reputation. Could the spirits of those who were trapped still linger?
  • The Ghost Forest: Imagine a forest frozen in time. This eerie reminder of the 1964 earthquake feels like stepping into another world—and it’s not just the trees that seem to be stuck there.
  • Abandoned Cabins: There’s something unsettling about those old, empty cabins left behind by miners and trappers. Visitors say they can feel the energy of the past, and it’s not always friendly.
  •  

    If you love stories where history and the paranormal collide, you’re going to love this one.
