Deep in the mist covered wilderness of Southeast Alaska lies Thomas Bay, a remote inlet surrounded by glacial peaks and endless forest. Locals call it Geey Náxw, “the Bay of Death,” a name earned after a catastrophic landslide in the 1700s wiped out a Tlingit village and for the strange, terrifying stories that followed.
