New
book offers hair-raising tales of the haunted places
of Montana
Amazing
true tales of ghosts and ghouls of the Treasure State
Debra
Munn’s new book “MontanaGhost Stories: Eerie
True Tales” contains more than just stories about
things that go ‘bump’ in the night. There are
also stories about things that creak, crack, crash, and
cry. There are doors that are open when they should be
shut; lights that stay on when they should be off; rocking
chairs that rock when they should be still. One ghost smokes
a pipe….while another snuffs cigarettes. A ghostly
nun disapproves of swearing while another can’t stand
rock-and-roll music.
Munn
has done her research well, interviewing witnesses, studying
historical accounts, and delving deeply into the darkened
depths of these unearthly echoes. She tells the true tales
of ghostly guests at Chico Hot Springs; the ‘school
spirit’ at the University of Montana; the real-life
ghosts in a real-life ghost town; even a haunted bathroom.
If you think that ghosts only inhabit creaky, creepy old
buildings, then be sure to read the hair-raising account
of the haunted condos at Big Sky which were torn down due
to distressing disturbances.
Munn,
a descendent of Butte and Anaconda miners, has been interested
in specters, spooks, and spirits her entire life. “There
is no shortage of ghosts in Montana. From Butte to Bannack
to Bozeman, I found fascinating phantoms where ever I looked,” she
said.
“Montana
Ghost Stories” contains the best stories from Munn’s
two-volume set, “Big Sky Ghosts,” that has
long been out of print. “Montana Ghost Stories” is
available at bookstores or by calling Riverbend Publishing
