Multiple paranormal research teams have paid a visit to the Klondike. Nearly every team that inspects the empty upper floors of this Victorian-era building has reported sensing that an altercation took place somewhere on the second floor. Investigators have also caught a self-starting coffee machine on video and otherworldly voices on digital recordings.
