Old Montana State Prison Ghost Hunt
Old Montana Prison Complex
1106 Main St, Deer Lodge, Montana
We have exclusive overnight access to this very haunted location in Montana.
This location was featured on Travel Channel Ghost Adventures
We have access to the most haunted areas including the Death Tower, The Administration House, The Clark Theatre, Maximum Security, The Hole and The Chapel.
The darkness, pain and sinister suffering is still embedded into the walls of this very haunted prison. Old Montana State Prison has a haunted reputation that will send a shiver down your spine.
On April 16th, 1959, Jerry Myles and Lee Smart led twelve inmates in a riot which left Deputy Warden Ted Rothe dead. They took eighteen prison employees and five stool pigeon inmates as hostages, soaked rags with flammable liquid and threatened to burn them alive.
After thirty-six hours of mounting tension, Warden Floyd Powell implemented a daring rescue attempt. The National Guard fired a bazooka at the tower where the ringleaders were headquartered. Meanwhile, a team of men burst through the door in the west wall, crossed the yard, and entered the Cell House, freeing the hostages.
Myles and Smart were found dead of an apparent murder-suicide at the top floor of the tower, is it these two lovers that still haunt the Death Tower?
Your time will be spent ghost hunting in the most active areas and we have exclusive overnight access to the main key areas of this prison.
Full bodied apparitions, disembodied voices and items being thrown is just a small amount of the reported paranormal experiences captured here.
In 1908, the prison witnessed one of its most tragic events when two prisoners by the names of George Rock and William Hayes attempted to escape. Fleeing from the Federal Building, their failed attempt resulted in the death of Deputy Warden John Robinson and Warden Frank Conley was required to get 103 stitches in his back and neck from stab wounds he received from the inmates. As a result, George Rock was hanged inside the prison yard that very year, and William Hayes met a similar fate the following year. They were the only inmates to be executed in the prison.

Community Remembrance Shrine
Caras Park

Please bring object of remembrance to add to the shrine—photos (copies), drawings, rocks, material, etc.—OR use some of the provided art materials to create something on the shrine itself. You also can create a luminary in honor of a lost loved one. The intention is to honor loved ones who have passed, help the ones still living, and create community gathering around grief and healing. Please do not leave valuable items on the shrine. Absolutely NO candles/fire of any kind (we will provide LED “candles”)! Luminaries will be lit on Nov.2.
Join us for the 28th year of the Missoula Festival of Remembrance—an annual, all-inclusive event that honors life and death through community involvement in the arts. The 2020 Festival will be modified due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to maintain and support a healthy Missoula community, there will not be a procession this year.
