The Story
The University of Alaska Anchorage’s Wendy Williamson Auditorium has several recurring ghost stories rather than a single agreed resident. A woman in white, mischievous activity around the lighting booth and an alarming male presence near stairs appear in paranormal-directory accounts. These stories attach to a specific performance building, affectionately called the Wendy. The reported physical aggression belongs to the folklore and is not established as an actual hazard caused by a spirit. Ordinary backstage, stairway and equipment safety rules still apply, and attendance at a performance does not authorize an investigation.
