Firehouse- Archives storage

Ever since the archives were transfered and are now being stored in the basement of the old fire station, there have been ghostly occurences,
and there have been over 200 ghost sightings reported. This firehouse has been experiencing fire alarms going off with no power running them,
rolling cases slamming together throughout the night, to books being projected across the room. One woman reported to the police of a very
bizarre expierence she had at the firehouse. As she walked into the firehouse she said " felt like they walked into a warm pillow," but when she
went into the reading room it was ballroom filled with firefighters in there formal wear. When the police arrived on the scene and had the same
experience.

Little Bighorn Battle National Monument

Here in June 1876, General George A. Custer and his cavalrymen went down in defeat to the Sioux Indians led by Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull.
The bloody engagement is widely referred to as the Battle of Little Bighorn, after a nearby river. Visitors have been overcome by a sense of
sorrow and loss on Last Stand Hill and near Battlefield Cemetery, but perhaps the strangest events take place near a section of the battleground
known as Reno Crossing. This is the section of the Little Bighorn River where cavalrymen under the direction of Major Marcus Reno retreated
from Indian forces, carrying as many dead and wounded comrades as they could. The ghost of Second Lieutenant Benjamin Hodgson, who died
near the crossing has been seen by park personnel. His leg was shattered by a bullet that also killed his horse, the frantic soldier tried to crawl
up a steep hill, just before he was killed by an Indian. His body then rolled down to the river bank, where his marker now stands. Other
apparitions have been encountered at Stone House, and employees' residence near the cemetery, where strange lights have also been reported.
Employee's apartments A and D are known for shimmering forms that appear at the foot of sleeping workers beds. The apparition of a solider
wearing a brown shire with a black cartridge belt across his chest has been seen at the visitor center. The ghost of Custer himself is said to
roam through the museum making one last check at the premises before retiring late at night. In 1986, the National Park Service arranged for
relics of the battle to be psycho-meterized by selected psychics. All the psychics

described many historically precise unknown details about the people who died there.

Zakos House

This hosue has been called the spookiest house in all of Montana. James and Eleanor Zakos moved into the old Victorian house with their six
children and Eleanor's mother in 1938. Immediately they began hearing a woman's bloodcurdling screams coming from the walls. The screams
always came in two shrieks that started out low in pitch and rose higher "until the volume threatened to split the walls." The shrieking sounds
went on day and night and came from throughout the house. The Zakos's called the police and fire departments and hired an electrician to
inspect the entire building. No one could find an explanation for the horrendous sounds. By 1941 the family had finally given up trying to find the
source of the screams and resigned themselves to living in a haunted house. Then in 1956, Eleanor's sister arranged to have an exorcism
performed by reverend Andrea Landin. That seemed to have quieted the house until 1980, when Mary Zakos started seeing handwriting on the
wall of her bedroom. Mary was herself was the writer of horror and modern romance books, and her psychiatrist insisted she herself was
responsible for the writing on the walls.
