Southwest Montana Ghost Tours

Bannack’s haunted history has little to do with the extensive mining activity, and more to do with its infamous residents. The State Park offers self-led and ranger-led tours of Montana’s first Territorial Capital. You will learn of Dorothy Dunn, Henry Plummer, and you may encounter some of Bannack’s most illustrious citizens as you explore the remaining structures.

Serving as a place where miners, ranchers, and businessmen could come together, this historic inn has sheltered ailing patients, ladies of the evening, and orphans from the 1935 earthquakes. Today you can still stay at the inn, where guests report children’s voices, a plucking at one’s shoulder, ghostly footsteps and a wafting of ethereal perfume.

The frenzied energy of the gold rush produced a spirited history in Virginia City. Famous ghosts include a gunslinger, Virginia Slade thundering down the hill on her thoroughbred, and Sister Irene. You can stay with ghosts at the Fairweather or Bonanza Inn where guests have reported strange noises, mysterious footsteps and visions of previous inhabitants.
