The Haunted Record

Montana

25 sourced records. Reports are attributed claims, not proof of supernatural activity.

West Glacier · Montana

Belton Chalet

A 2001 newspaper feature describes haunting stories at the Belton Chalet, the Great Northern Railway’s 1910 hotel near Glacier National Park. Its reporting includes bookkeeper Colleen Konopatzke recalling an unsettling experience involving her dog. The preserved railway hotel’s history supplies context for staff accounts without verifying a paranormal explanation.

Helena · Montana

Benton Avenue Cemetery

Southwest Montana records reports of a young girl in yellow at Benton Avenue Cemetery. The burial ground's historical significance and the apparent figure are different kinds of claim. Cemetery visits should respect access rules and those remembered here, without staging an intrusive investigation.

Virginia City · Montana

Bonanza Inn

The former hospital is associated with stories about Sister Irene and unexplained footsteps. Historian Ellen Baumler describes her own experiences here and covers the property in Spirit Tailings. Its documented medical past and the author's interpretation should be read as separate strands of the record.

Butte · Montana

Butte-Silver Bow Courthouse

Regional tourism associates this courthouse with reports linked to an executed man. The connection is a haunting claim. Do not assume that a reported figure's identity can be established from its supposed appearance alone.

Butte · Montana

Cabbage Patch

The remains of this former working-class neighborhood featured in the second episode of Ghosts of Devil's Perch, titled The Axe Man. Southwest Montana tourism confirms the filming location and its place on local paranormal tours. The district's material history offers context for the show's investigation claims.

Pray · Montana

Chico Hot Springs Lodge

History Goes Bump devoted an episode to Chico's reported woman in white. Its account recounts security guards' sightings near a piano and a rocking chair allegedly moving in room 349. These are attributed witness stories associated with the operating hot springs resort, rather than established identities of deceased guests.

Butte · Montana

Clark Chateau

Regional tourism lists Clark Chateau among Butte's reported haunted buildings. Its historic architecture is independently interesting. Readers should separate the building's ownership history from the supernatural interpretations promoted in a haunted itinerary.

Anaconda · Montana

Copper Village Museum and Arts Center

Southwest Montana's tourism guide records haunting claims at this former civic building. A historical setting can help explain why stories attach to a place; it cannot establish what caused an unexplained experience.

Billings · Montana

Dude Rancher Lodge

Billings’s Dude Rancher Lodge acknowledges stories of unexplained visitors in its hallways and identifies Karen Stevens’s More Haunted Montana as a book covering the property. Local television also interviewed a laundry employee who described hearing her name called. The operator welcomes enthusiasts but explicitly declines to guarantee paranormal experiences.

Butte · Montana

Dumas Brothel

The former Dumas Brothel's operators describe unexplained activity and offer paranormal investigations by arrangement. Its documented social history and the experiences attributed to spirits are different kinds of evidence. Seasonal closures mean an unannounced visit may not provide entry.

Butte · Montana

Elks Lodge

Southwest Montana tourism describes alleged voices associated with the Elks Lodge. Interpretations of recordings are not conclusive evidence of spirits. Arrange entry with the organization; inclusion in a guide is not permission to investigate.

Virginia City · Montana

Elling House

The Elling House hosts a reported encounter involving curator John Ellingsen, who described feeling his wrist grabbed while working in the ballroom. Southwest Montana's account also describes disturbed renovation samples. These are attributed experiences in a historic house, with no demonstrated supernatural cause.

Helena · Montana

Grandstreet Theatre

This theater's haunting tradition includes a figure identified as Clara Bicknell. Regional tourism also links the location to Haunted Places: The National Directory. The attribution remains a reported interpretation rather than a verified identity.

Deer Lodge · Montana

Grant-Kohrs Ranch

Named park rangers are central to this ranch's haunting accounts. Southwest Montana describes Matt Connor hearing apparent ranch work without visible workers, and Lyndel Meikel noticing an unexplained lavender scent. The stories add an oral-history layer to a working-ranch heritage site; they do not establish spirits.

Anaconda area · Montana

Gunslinger Gulch

Visit Montana lists Gunslinger Gulch, a former community presented as a guest ranch, as a stop for ghost tours. This establishes an operator-supported paranormal tourism connection. Specific stories and current tour availability should be checked with the property before planning a visit.

Bannack · Montana

Hotel Meade

Montana's tourism itinerary identifies Hotel Meade in preserved Bannack with a reported apparition of a young girl. The building belongs to a historic ghost-town setting; that term describes an abandoned settlement and is not itself evidence that ghosts exist.

Dillon · Montana

Hotel Metlen

The Hotel Metlen appears in Montana's official spooky itinerary as a historic hotel and bar with rumors of friendly ghosts. The tourism account documents the reputation without establishing its cause. Confirm which parts of the property currently admit visitors.

Garnet · Montana

Kelly's Saloon, Garnet

Southwest Montana's ghost map records reports of laughter at Kelly's Saloon in preserved Garnet. The town's abandoned appearance alone would not make it haunted; the source specifically identifies an auditory claim. Explore through authorized seasonal access, without interpreting historic emptiness as proof of spirits.

Butte · Montana

Myra Brothel and Hotel

Local investigations explore the former Myra Brothel and Hotel in Butte's historic red-light district. Southwest Montana confirms it as a destination of Butte Historic Haunts. Stories associated with the property are collected through guided visits, against the documented background of the city's mining-era commercial sex trade.

Deer Lodge · Montana

Old Montana Prison

The Old Montana Prison offers scheduled ghost investigations in its former cell houses and other restricted areas. Its official tourism listing provides a concrete public program connected to the paranormal reputation. Access to closed sections requires the operator's permission and a valid booking.

Butte · Montana

Old St. James Hospital

Southwest Montana's account of Butte paranormal tourism identifies the old hospital as a location for organized investigations. Its inclusion documents the building's contemporary role in ghost tourism. The available source does not name a specific apparition, so this profile avoids attaching an invented patient or death story.

Red Lodge · Montana

Pollard Hotel

The Pollard's ghost traditions include a woman in yellow, unexplained perfume and a supposed animal apparition. Deborah Cobb collects these guest stories in a dedicated article, including claims of a light repeatedly switching on and small handprints on windows. The more unusual monkey story remains a hotel legend, rather than a verified account of an animal's death.

Butte · Montana

Quartz Street Station / Public Archives

The former fire station now houses the Butte-Silver Bow Public Archives. Regional tourism reporting records claims of voices, disconnected alarms and a woman at a window identified as Louisa Sanger. The station was built after the 1895 explosion often invoked in these stories, an important chronological distinction.

Helena · Montana

Reeder's Alley

A regional tourism story associates Reeder's Alley with Laura and her canaries. It offers a traceable account of local haunting lore. Treat the story as an attributed narrative and assess any historical details separately before repeating them as fact.

Garnet · Montana

Wells Hotel, Garnet

Caretakers reportedly heard footsteps and closing doors in Garnet's Wells Hotel, according to Southwest Montana's published ghost map. The former hotel is part of a historic ghost town rather than assumed overnight lodging. The recorded sounds have no established paranormal explanation.
