In 1951, all of the residents of the Alaskan town of Port Chatham abandoned it, never to return.  Leaving all they had known, their jobs and homes, something occurred that would drive them all away.  Theories of what frightened them away include an unidentified serial killer, a demon sasquatch-like creature that was said to be hunting human prey, and simple ignorance of the time combined with belief in the oral tradition of tales that whipped the residents into an unreasonable degree of panic, causing them to flee.  Digging back even further into the history of the town (which was once named Portlock) revealed that the mass exodus in 1951 wasn’t the first time the town had been abandoned.  Join us as we explore the mystery of the creepiest (ghost) town in Alaska—Port Chatham.
