Hey /x/, I'm going on a trip to Alaska later this summer. I realized I don't think I know about any urban myths or legends that originate in Alaska. I figure there also have to be some conspiracy theories surrounding the large amount of land owned by the government and all the military bases there. Wondering if anyone here has any good ones that are worth looking into.

Not conspiracy, but can you ask for this?
Duration, conditions, temperature, and any weird event associated with them.
Thanks in advance.

Alaska has an abnormally high missing persons rate per capita.
Also the military bases were made in world War 2 to defend against Japanese invasion as British Columbias shore line is too mountainus to invade. Then they kept the bases as the red scare came about during the cold war and now serve as great training areas.
I spent 2 weeks there last summer, and the only thing paranormal I experienced was the urban centers. The people there are either extremely friendly or insane.

Missing people, probably murdered or abducted by aliens. Have had the opportunity to stay there a while and read a book about explorers finding a tranquil and warm land in the winter but then when they looked for it again they couldn't find it.
