The Story
Ketchikan’s Bayview Cemetery has a startling apparition legend: a headless woman briefly appears along the drive, followed by the impression of a head on the roadway. Haunted Places records this as local cemetery lore without identifying the woman. The more generic Ketchikan graveyard version is treated as the same story and location. This is presented as cemetery folklore, not a verified sighting or an invitation to test the story while driving. Bayview and the more loosely titled Ketchikan graveyard story are treated as the same location rather than duplicate entries.
