Old Montana State Prison Ghost Hunt
A Journey into the Fortress of Forgotten Souls
Step into the imposing shadows of Old Montana State Prison, where history’s darkest chapters continue to echo through time. Rising from the frontier landscape of Deer Lodge, Montana, this formidable fortress has stood as a silent witness to over a century of human drama, tragedy, and redemption.
A Historical Gateway to the Paranormal
Built in 1870 during Montana’s territorial days, the prison’s massive sandstone walls – four and a half feet thick – have contained some of the West’s most notorious criminals. Within these forbidding boundaries, countless stories of violence, desperation, and lost hope have seeped into the very foundation of this haunting institution.
The prison’s most infamous moment came on April 16, 1959, when inmates Jerry Myles and Lee Smart led a desperate riot that would forever change the facility’s history. In a terrifying 36-hour siege, they and their accomplices took 23 hostages, including prison employees and fellow inmates. The uprising reached its tragic climax in the Death Tower, where Myles and Smart’s fatal murder-suicide left an indelible psychic imprint that paranormal investigators still encounter today.
Paranormal Activity That Defies Explanation
Featured on Ghost Adventures, the Old Montana State Prison has earned its reputation as one of America’s most actively haunted locations. The intensity and intelligence of the spiritual activity here has left even seasoned investigators in awe:
– Full-bodied apparitions have been witnessed patrolling the cell blocks

spent the night investigating Park Hotel in Ballinger, Texas and enjoyed the entire experience. The crew were great and was always available the entire time... sorry I scared you 2 times Andy, neither were intentional 🙂 Will definitely love to go to another one of their events again. Thanks for the wonderful experience
Our investigation in Gettysburg this weekend was amazing! Communication was amazing and all the guests seemed to enjoy themselves! The orphanage and Jennie Wade house didn’t disappoint! Can’t wait to experience these locations again, would highly recommend.
My adult daughter and myself went to the Herkimer County jail hunt in New York. We had a great time. We were able to observe use ghost hunting equipment. The staff did a great job escorting us from place to place with snacks and soft drinks in between. Would love to participate again!
Our hunt this weekend at the Licking County jail was amazing! My group had a great time. The host, Vineta, was very knowledgeable. Jewlie, Sunshine and Faith from the Ohio PRISM team were great and willing to jump in and interact with guests. The location was decorated for the Halloween attraction so the basement wasn’t the easiest to navigate (understandably) but Darren gave us a full walk through of the area listing all precautions before lights out. Overall we had a great time and would totally book another event with haunted rooms!
The entire team was so nice and they were the best throughout the entire investigation, they keep you entertained and involved. David is easily the best one though (no offense to the rest 😅)
