The Anchorage Film Caper

There was someone lurking in the dark, empty corridor of the spooky abandoned building in downtown Anchorage, Alaska... or was there?

With a 16mm film can clutched tightly under my left arm and a 357 magnum in my shaky right hand, I was ready for action as I nervously made my way to the KTVA channel 11, TV station film processor, located in the all but empty basement of what was left of the downtown McKinley Building following the 1964 great Alaska earthquake.
