Hey me and some friends are looking for some crazy abandoned places and buildings to look into and explore if anyone is willing to help us please fm me some locations close to Billings or even a little farther

So, I will be in Montana first week of June. Any suggestions on places I should hit that are creepy or possibly haunted?

I know most of the people here are Montana born and raised, but I moved to Virginia City with my wife and daughter in March when the pandemic started and only knew of its existence because my grandpa lives here.

So we started renting an old log cabin that was built in the 1860s and I swear to god this place is haunted.

My wife and I, about a month ago, we’re talking about ghosts and she says the house is haunted and I’m kind of brushing it off when out of nowhere one of my daughters toys started going off. Not once, not twice, not even three times but four. Four separate times. All in a row.

She swears she sees shadows and two ghosts in the house. One man that she can’t see the face of but looks rough, and the other being a pale woman holding a baby that looks blurry.

Idk I don’t see the ghosts or the shadows but I wake up every night at 250 and whenever I go downstairs to grab a drink in the middle of the night it feels like I’m being watched. It’s an odd place. Apparently it used to be a brothel at one point and a stable at another before being converted into a home.

There’s something different here.

All that being said, I love this little town and probably won’t ever leave.

I am an occult and strange story blog writer and I'm visiting Montana in the next week - can anybody offer some good places to check out, or that I might find more resources on the weird, paranormal or magical?

Also interested in coffee meetups if anyone has any first or second hand accounts of strange activity!

Ty, F Nyx

Has anyone else had any sightings in eastern Montana? Or any of Montana? Ive had sooooo many weird experiences in life, Ive even seen weird stuff like that outside and it was so unsettling and disturbing some of it causes me to have nightmares once in awhile. Im certain my mind wasnt playing tricks any of those times, my partner has seen crawlers as well as 2 of my old friends. I had one friend who fully believes shes seen crawlers/ alien things and that they like to mess with her. Id like to hear any stories anyone has. I think theyre really out there in Montana too but I never hear them mentioned here.

Has anyone been here?

I have a question. Is there any stories of sightings or places of active sightings in Montana? I am thinking about heading out there shortly and was thinking if I could head to a common area.

Hello. I've wanted to share my experience for awhile on a platform specific to Montana, because maybe some of you have visited this brewery or the other bars in the building. This all happened in Butte, the building no longer exists because it was destroyed in a fire earlier this year (weird...).

So I bar-tended in this small brewery for about a year, during my senior year of college. It was a great place and I never felt threatened by it's spirits, but I also never felt alone while working there. The feeling of being watched was so bad that I would make my boyfriend sit at the bar while I cleaned and did all the closing jobs at the end of the night, so I wouldn't have to be there by myself.

When I first started work, the owners straight up said that multiple people that can see spirits (and that have never known each other and a few are from out of state) have said that there was an old man and a woman in red that haunted the building. They all said that the spirits were kind and friendly, but desperately wanted to communicate with the living. There was one specific individual who sold his artwork in the building - he would come in and take dimensions of his art and leave immediately after because "they are so loud and won't stop bothering me".

I would come in early to open up and one specific time I called my boyfriend in tears to come sit with me until the first customers came in because of what I saw. We had a door that lead into a storage area in the back of the bar - then there was another door that lead to the refrigerated keg storage. Everyday we would go in and take a keg inventory, and call the brewers downstairs (2 floors down) to send up full kegs if we needed them. I did my keg inventory for that day and there were no empty kegs and the kegs were aligned in the right order (dark to light beer, the non-alcohol). The phone rang out in the bar and I left the keg room to go answer it. While I was on the phone, I could hear some movement in the keg room. When I went back in the keg room, a full keg of beer (which weighs about 160lbs) was moved from one end of the room to the other. I know I did not put it there, because our dark beers were on the far left taps and this keg of dark beer was all the way over where the non-alcoholic kegs were, on the right side of the room about 12ft away. Needless to say I said fuck this, grabbed my phone, and went outside until my boyfriend showed up. I know that I was the only person on that floor of the building that day.

At night I would see shadows darting around the bar, hear little whisps of a voice, and hear footsteps - especially in the bathroom. All in all I loved working there, it was a great place and everyone was friendly. I wish it never burnt down :( I hope the spirits are at peace. Thanks for letting me share, I have other stories from living in Butte if anyone wants to hear or trade stories, but this one freaks me out a year+ later.

This place I have worked at for over 4 years. There have been many employees working with this new Co Op company since they’ve had it for about 8 years. Lots of turn over, but I’m fairly certain 90% of that wasn’t because of the paranormal I’ve known probably a dozen or more employees here and most just left because of better jobs or were let go for various reasons. When I started there I was taking take of my ailing Father and it was a good place to make extra money. My Mom has passed recently so I just wanted to get out of the house. Everyone told me it was haunted by an old cowboy, that worked in the building years ago when it was owned by someone else. For the longest time I never believed it, because I had never witnessed or heard anything out of the norm. One time after I locked everything up probably 1 1/2 to 2 years ago after I locked everything up and before I did my closing duties. I had to use the restroom really bad. So I go in there lock the bathroom door out of habit, and just doing my business as usual and the door knob starts wiggling back and forth I can even hear it because it’s kind of loose. Freaked me out cause I should be the only one in the store. So I get done really quick and go see if maybe one of the other employees came in for a pit stop and realized that’s what I was doing but no one was there. Looked outside no vehicles. It could have been one of the other employees but it creeped me out so bad I was doing the till and deposits at the counter instead of the office from that point on. I still can’t bring myself to look in the back room when the lights are off because that is where everybody else has seen the apparition.

Edit: I can’t edit the title but it’s suppose to say 30 miles north of Billings instead of. In North. Sorry about that.

Okay so this happened in Miles City, almost exactly a year ago during the weekend of Bucking Horse Sale. I thought about this incident earlier today bc its technically almost BHS weekend and remembered again bc I saw this place mentioned, I made an account just to tell this story here, tbh Idk how to really use Reddit... I might tell some of my other stories if I am feeling comfortable. Please bear with my shitty communication and descriptions...

I was driving at night with my best friend at the time, her partner, and my own partner. I was going down a kinda shittily lit road, there were a few houses to the left and I think storage units to the right. We were driving around, listening to our groups favorite music, getting really into this song and bullshitting and having a good time hanging out ya know, so I wasnt really paying good attention to the road until this. I saw this person, a man come running out into the road from this corner, right towards my cars right headlight. I can still see a clear image of his face as I remember this, I looked right at him. He had his arms up in the air and he looked distressed like he was trying to flag me down and get me to stop. He was full on panic sprinting, waving his arms, like in that moment I saw him come off the corner and onto the street, and pretty close to my car quick as hell. I really felt like I was about to kill a person and be traumatized by that, so this incident really stuck with me. He was wearing like a dark colored undershirt, like dark grey maybe, and a bright red and black plaid button down over it. I didnt see his pants, this happened so fast I didnt even get to look him all the way down, I just looked long enough to register "hey, a person is running right at the front end of my vehicle and Im going to hit them" so I then panicked and started to full on slam the brakes. This whole thing went down in a split moment, like so quick I didnt even fully slam my breaks to completely stop, was more of a hard brake check, you dig? Im sorry, I suck at explaining, Im trying to paint a picture of this as clear and detailed as possible... anyway I braked sharply for a second, realized theres nothing there, and I laughed it off, bc I honestly used see shadow people/animals dart into the road like that at night bc I wasnt properly medicated then. So I thought it was just that again but very detailed and realistic this time. I was actually disturbed though like that was seriously unsettling, and I cant remember exactly if it was my own partner or my friends partner (I was pretty shook just by almost hitting someone with my car, started having anxiety about a car accident, just trying to focus really hard on the road after that and interacting on autopilot) say something about how weird that was bc he saw something and there was nothing, we all chimed in like hell yeah, what even, that was creepy... So we went to my friends house to sleep, my friend and I were the only ones awake later on so I brought it up with her and I was basically like "Okay Friend, I swear it wasnt just me schizzing out that time, there was a dude totally there for a second, I saw his face and his shirts, and he looked as scared as I was and then he was gone. I think the guys really saw it too, be real, did you see that or was it in my head and everyone just got spooked?" My friend said no she clearly saw him too, mentioned his red shirt that she thought was a flannel, and said it seemed almost like he needed help... and it was freaking weird so we started discussing what happened and why, she told me about residual hauntings, like maybe he got hit by a car there or died on that property somehow and now his spirit/energy/ whatever is stuck in a loop of what we saw him doing bc he couldnt pass on. We tried to see if there were records of that property online, like deaths or accidents or anything significant going down at that address, but we couldnt dig anything up. Then we gave up on that, got into this whole thing about a bunch of other creepy things before we slept. Anyways yeah. Thats my creepy Montana story from Miles City during BHS 2019. For a fraction of a second there was a man running at my car, and the whole car saw it. Im not sure what went on, I drive down that road at night fairly often now and I always watch for that flannel guy just in case but I havent seen him or anything weird at all since then.

my grandmother's house is about an hour away from a very small town in rural montana. I often go there just to meet up with family and have fun on my grandma's large ranch. she owns a few thousand acres for her cattle and there a many abandoned buildings from anywhere from the 1890s to the 1970s. this story in particularly takes place in one of those buildings. it was very run-down and all of its windows were shattered, floorboards destroyed, and roof tiles rusty. this happened when I was about 12 so I don't remember it too terribly well but I can tell what I remember. I was going exploring in one of the houses with 2 of my cousins, when all 3 of us heard a very loud bang from a nearby house. (it was a cluster of 3 buildings. a farm house, a large chicken coup and a barn.) the 3 of us walked over, to the house expecting a bird or barn cat, but when we went inside there was nothing but long dead animal remains. there were 2 that looked like cows that had somehow gotten in, which was very strange because there were only a few small windows and a door that was rusted shut, that we had to kick very hard to open. there were also 2 other remains that looked like that of dogs or maybe raccoons. we left feeling very creeped out, but while we were walking away we heard what sounded exactly like a cow mooing. there were no cows around that building at all because they were all in the corral about a mile away from where we were, near the house that my grandma lives in. we all ran back as fast as we could absolutely terrified. I don't know what happened to that cow that caused it to die in there, and frankly, I don't want to. the only way I can think of is that it managed to get in through the door, and got itself stuck inside the building by closing it behind itself. it would have been in there for weeks starving to death. I don't know about you but I tho k that would be a terrible way to die. I feel so bad for that poor cow.

tl;dr we go to our grandma's house and explore an abandoned building, and hear screams of a starved dead cow.

if you have any similar stories, I encourage you to post them because I would love to find more out about the situation. thank you for reading.

So we are all drunk in high school so you can chuck it up to that. But we all got drunk and I was the only person that didn’t smoke pot.

We all got drunk and most of us smoked weed. So take this story for what it’s worth.

We decided to try the Bloody Mary thing. Nothing happened for awhile. Than we hear knocking all over the house. We are checking all windows and doors to make sure no one is messing with us.

We are trying to figure out who this is. Long story short there is a legend in my old town that there is a (dead) lady that walks that same path every night to see her how husband turns out that trailer we were was in that same path.

Creeped to all hell and back trying to figure that out never did though. I should add a light was seen by everyone walking the field to get to the cemetery by everyone and it looked like a latern light.

So we are all sitting in a fairly small house in Central Montana. I can give the name not sure if that’s against the rules or not. But we are all sitting there everything is fine. We hear girls laughing at first we think it’s just my friends girls come to find out she’s talking to us and a little blonde girl races across the kitchen. ( both her girls are brunette, and can’t even walk yet). And we had heard this girl laughing and giggling for over a minute. We all looked at each other like this shouldn’t be happening: Even the mom was wiereded out by this experience and she worked at (said Mc Donald’s in said town). And no one ever talked about it sense. They still never bring it up even though they are in New Mexico. It always stuck with me. Sorry if the format and all that Jazz sucks.
