Haunted Montana: Ghosts and Strange Phenomena of the Treasure State - Paperback

by Ednor Therriault (Author)

Vigilante victims, murdered miners, and gunfight ghosts figure prominently in this collection of eerie tales from the Treasure State. From the windswept prairies in the east to the towering mountains of Glacier National Park come a variety of stories and legends, including a phantom cowboy who continues to ride his ghost horse up the staircase of a Fort Benton hotel, figures from a hundred years ago and more who roam the streets of ghost towns Virginia City and Bannack all hours of the night, and long-gone regulars who continue to visit their favorite bars.

Back Jacket

Reading line: Eerie tales and spine-tingling stories from the Treasure State Things that go bump in the night, disembodied voices, footsteps in an empty stairwell, an icy hand on your shoulder...let your imagination run wild as you read about Montana's most extraordinary apparitions, sinister spooks, and bizarre beasts. You may know of the Conrad Mansion's attic ghosts, or the restless spirits that wander the battlefield at Little Bighorn, but perhaps you haven't you heard about: a phantom cowboy that rides his ghost horse up the staircase of a Fort Benton hotel; the house in Butte where a horrible spectre made its presence known night after night, driving out the terrified families who tried to live there; the lady in the yellow dress whose apparition wanders the third floor of the posh, historic Pollard Hotel in Red Lodge; and the bookstore in Havre where creaking doors, phantom footsteps and books flying off of shelves are attributed to a rambunctious spirit. Ednor Therriault's first book, Montana Curiosities, became the best-selling title in Globe Pequot's Curiosities series. Myths and Legends of Yellowstone came out in late 2018 on Two Dot, and Ednor's latest project, Seven Montanas (TwoDot), explores the zeitgeist of his home state. He lives in Missoula with his wife, Shannon.
