Haunted Montana: Ghost Stories from Mountain Passes and Mining Towns
Episode notes
About this episode
| Montana’s wide valleys, remote roads and boomtown history provide the setting for ghost stories that stretch across the state. This episode moves between mountain passes, frontier properties, performance spaces and former working buildings where witnesses have described hitchhikers, shadow figures, footsteps and other unexplained encounters.
The route includes Bear Canyon and MacDonald Pass, along with stories connected to Virginia Slade and Laura Duchesnay. Historic stops include Grant-Kohrs National Historic Site, Fort Peck Summer Theatre, Moss Mansion, Elling House and the Bonanza Inn. Quartz Street Station and the Dumas Hotel add firehouse and mining-town lore to the journey. These accounts range from personal legends to reports attached to places with well-documented histories. By keeping those strands distinct, the episode explores how Montana’s distances, rapid settlement and changing towns created stories that still travel through the Big Sky landscape. |
