Is Nome haunted?
The record holds 2 claims, 1 named entity — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed internet rumor. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.
The record — long form
Nome is the promised — the 'Hardy's word' that's the gallows' vow, the 'shall return' that's the Hart's fear. The 'first hanging' is the covered — the '1902' that's the legal first, the 'nurse disguise' that's the reporter's trick. The 'welcome said' is the regretted — the 'grievous error' that's the Hart's own, the 'never returned' that's the north fled.
The 'strangest community' is the boomed — the '20,000' that's the tents sprawled, the 'no harbor' that's the beach mined. The 'Three Swedes' is the struck — the '1898' that's the find made, the 'anvil city' that's the gold's pull. Nome is the kept — the 'gold rush' that's the frenzy built, the 'ghost's promise' that's the hanged man's word.
The file keeps Nome: the hanged man's vow, the reporter's flight, the boomtown's tents, and the kept promise.
Nome is the archive's Alaska file — the town a hanged man promised to revisit.
Why this file matters
Nome is the archive's Alaska file — where the first legal hanging produced a promise of return.
A town keeps its vow — the file's suggestion being that Nome's hold is the promised: the 'gallows word' that's the return sworn, the 'reporter fled' that's the fear kept, and the 'strangest community' that's the boom's name.
The record of claims
The disappearance/UFO lore is documented folklore—The Fourth Kind is fiction. The figure answers to The vanished in the retellings. A Alaska town's lore is municipal property; Nome keeps this account in its unofficial archive. Internet-era retellings built most of the file; the underlying report is thin. Legends accrue where records go silent; this one filled the gap and stayed.
The film is fiction; the real disappearances are investigated deaths and weather, not abductions.
