How to Ghost Hunt in Montana

Montana may be Big Sky country, but it's also big ghost country as well! Whether you are coming out of Yellowstone or Glacier National Park or following in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark, you are sure to bump into Montana citizens of the past.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Camera
• GPS or road map
• Any other ghost hunting equipment you'd like

1. Garnet Ghost Town is a place not to be missed while in Montana. Originally a mining town, the well preserved homes and hotels leave visitors with the feeling of stepping back in time. Go up to the second floor of the old hotel and head left into the arms of an ornery ghost. Try some EVP work here for fun!
2. The Sheraton hotel in Billings is said to have a ghostly elevator rider who phones the front desk at 2:30 a.m. The story goes the elevator is always found to be empty and once called by the desk, the voice of an "unregistered" guest ghost answered the phone. Scary.
3. Don't miss the Little Bighorn National Monument near Crow Agency Montana. Sensitive visitors have reported seeing the ghosts of Native American women searching for their dead warriors.
4. Most universities have some well known ghost stories for its student body and the University of Montana-Missoula is no different. The Main Hall reports the sound of disembodied screams and the University Theater has an otherworldly dog in the house!
