The Story
A basketball is the memorable object in the legend of the former NANA Museum of the Arctic in Kotzebue. The story names a boy called Alex and says unexplained bouncing can be heard in the auditorium. A tragic account of a child drowning beneath the building supplies the legend’s backstory, but that event has not been independently verified here.
