Excerpt from Ghosts of the Last Best Place

Bannack, Montana

Bannack is a ghost town located in southwestern Montana. It was once a boomtown, with a population of over 10,000 people. But after the gold rush ended, the town was abandoned, and today it is a popular tourist destination.

One of the most popular attractions in Bannack is the "Lady in White." This ghost is said to be the spirit of a young woman who was murdered in the town in the 1860s. Her ghost is said to haunt the ruins of a saloon, and visitors often report seeing her figure in the windows.

I visited Bannack on a cold, October day. The town was deserted, and the only sound was the wind whistling through the trees. I walked down the main street, past the empty storefronts and crumbling buildings. I could almost imagine what the town must have been like in its heyday, when it was filled with miners and gamblers and dance hall girls.

I stopped in front of the saloon where the Lady in White is said to haunt. The building was boarded up, and the windows were broken. I peered through one of the windows, and I thought I saw a figure moving in the shadows. I quickly took a step back, my heart pounding in my chest.

I don't know if I really saw the Lady in White, but I can't shake the feeling that there was something there, something unseen. Bannack is a place with a dark history, and it's no wonder that it's said to be haunted.
