The Story

Dolly’s House on Ketchikan’s Creek Street has stories of unusual shadows and sounds inside. Alaska Public Media reported the accounts through local ghost-tour guide Libby Klees in 2017, making the source of the claim identifiable without treating the phenomena as established fact. The house’s preserved association with Dolly Arthur gives it a distinct historical identity, but the report does not prove that Dolly is the source of every unexplained noise.
