Step back in time with us to Bannack, Montana—once a booming gold rush town and now one of the best-preserved—and most haunted—ghost towns in the West. In this chilling episode, we explore Bannack’s turbulent past: from its founding on sacred Native American lands, through lawless gold camps and vigilante justice, to the spirits that linger in the historic Hotel Meade. Listen to the frontier history and hauntings of Bannack!
