Spirit Tailings: Ghost Tales from Virginia City, Butte, and Helena

by Ellen Baumler

Overview

Floorboards creaking. Inanimate objects flying off walls. Fleeting glimpses of ghostly figures moving in solemn grace through the halls and walls of our homes and offices. We all recognize these telltale signs of haunted places, and in this delightful collection of stories from Montana's legendary mining towns the state's supernatural history comes to life.

Ellen Baumler has tracked down descendants and participants, searched out historical records, and interviewed hundreds in her passionate pursuit of the ghost tales of Helena, Virginia City, and Butte. With a lively pen and critical eye, she captures in these wonderful stories Montana's rich cultural heritage--and scares the bejesus out of you to boot.

About the Author

I'm an interpretive historian at the Montana Historical Society and host of the show "History on the Go" on Cherry Creek Radio. In my spare time, I've made a hobby out of investigating the history behind Montana's ghosts and haunted places. My writing includes seven books and numerous magazine articles that tell the most funny, bizzare, and interesting stories from my research into Montana history.
