The Story
At Sitka’s Russian Bishop’s House, a submitted account describes a woman in a blue dress following visitors through the historic home. No name or confirmed connection to a former resident accompanies the story. This quiet, figure-centered tradition is distinct from the Lady in Black legend attached to Castle Hill elsewhere in Sitka. Its status as a historic museum allows a legitimate historical visit, but access to preserved interiors is still controlled and must follow the park’s current visitor program.
