phone no one is on the other line. The front desk clerk and the

were started, its not just a once in awhile experience every time you
go into the basement And into the far room you can and probably will
see a group of old firefighters playing a game of poker on the wall
along with a few other roaming spirits, experiences range from fire
alarms going off with no power running to them, from rolling cases
slamming together all throughout the night, to books being hurled
across the room. this haunting is definitely not to be taken lightly
and it needs more professional investigation. Also one of the most
peculiar events ever being heard of happening more than once is an
respectable elder woman walked into the reading room and the police
report says " It felt like they walked into a warm pillow" But when she
got into the room It was in fact not the reading room but a ball room
filled with Fire fighters in there formal wear. and when the police

haunted
Colstrip - Power plant - The power plant produces massive amounts of
electrical energy in which all kinds of spirits are seen. Usually seen
at night around this spider web like power lines and transistors.
Usually when the air is full of static electricity you can just wait
and see these shadow like figures going from transistor to transistor
for some weird reason. The most common things that happen are rambling
voices talking next to you or just passing you like a real person.
Sometimes your stuff will disappear in a place where you're all alone
and you'll find it in a totally wrong place like another part of the
plant just sitting there in plain site. The men that work there are so
use to the encounters that it has become something that just happens
once in awhile.
Deer Lodge - Old Montana
Prison - The old Montana Prison, The last
prisoners were taken to the new prison in 1979-1980. And had been in
use through the 1800's for many brutal outlaws of the times. The
gallows room has many a strange sound and a cold presence. The hole is
a small sub-chambered room with intense cold and four or five small
cells, one in particular, first one to the left, is very cold and has a
foul odor, with a evil threatening presence, and people have been known
to be pushed back up the stairs trying to leave the room as if to keep
them going much faster than they are moving.

- There is a full ghost town up in the hills of
Montana that was originally created as a mining town. After a fire
caught hold of the hotel there, many people started moving out. The
houses and buildings have been wonderfully preserved and the original
hotel that caught fire still stands and with little damage. Spirits can
be felt all in this town and especially in the hotel on the second
floor. If you go up the stairs, walk straight towards the wall without
turning, and then look to your left, the open door there is where one
of the spirits resides. Beware, though, because he's not nice. It's a
great place if you want a sensory overload. If you can't find it...
it's on the state map. It's worth going to see.

Bar - Supposedly the three floors above the old
bar are home to twelve different spirits or more. Very old building.
Lots of history there. Upper floors were at one time hotel, then after

whom supposedly died up there. Very eerie up there. Looks like
something right out of a horror movie.

a varsity basketball player who lived on that floor slipped and cracked
his head open in the same bathroom. Needless to say, he died from the
injury. The school closed the bathroom after that. Years later, there

locked up to this day.

Libby - Sportsman’s RV
Park - During the spring of the year, when
thunderstorms are rumbling overhead, and lightning flashes lighting up
the dark midnight sky, a shadow of a figure looking down, wearing what
looks like a hooded poncho that is blowing, and waving in the wind, can
be seen drifting (floating with no feet) around the RV Park. Before the
RV Park was built, in the late 1960s with anticipation, and the start
of construction on the Libby Dam, this place was called the Riverside
Inn. It was a steak house, gas station, mobile home park, and mobile
motel (house of ill repute). Construction workers and others gathered
here after work to let loose, and do who knows what else. It is said
that vagrants, and squatters called the Riverside Inn home. They camped
in the woods behind the Inn with hopes of landing a job on the Dam. A
few years after the Libby Dam was completed, the Riverside Inn burnt,
and was never rebuilt. Who knows what happened to the ones who never
landed a job? How did they survive with little or no food, and the
harsh winter weather in Montana? Could some poor lost soul, still be
wandering, and waiting with the hopes of landing a job on the Libby
Dam? Did something horrible happen to this person before their time,
and they will not rest until their wrong is righted? You be the Judge!
