Investigating
Alaska's paranormal a serious business -- with growth potential
Ben Anderson |
Alaska’s a big place, and that means there’s a lot
of room for things to hide. We’re not talking about bears or bugs or any other
critters roaming the Last Frontier, but rather the less tangible -- the
unusual, the undocumented, the supernatural. Alaska has a long history with the
paranormal -- from its mythic past full of unusual creatures, to its modern-day
infestations with cryptic beasts like Bigfoot and the Lake Iliamna Monster,
down to purported alien abductions that became fodder for Hollywood not too
long ago. Some in Alaska are dedicated to tracking down and recording the
paranormal in the state, even if it means overcoming skepticism and applying
methodology to the paranormal.
Extract
In 2009, a person reported seeing a Bigfoot while driving in
the area of a local elementary school. Desmond was curious why such an
archetypically secretive creature would be in such a populated area. She said
she compiled sightings from several other people, then began looking for
explanations for the out-of-place rumors.
