You will see the old military barracks, embark on paranormal investigations at the Russian Cemetery and view the iconic Russian church. Hear the chilling stories of the unexplained Kooshdaa Kaa luring sailors to their deaths.
Visit the gravesite of the beloved Russian princess who still haunts Sitka today.
