Is Our Prison Haunted?

Many times throughout the year we are asked this question. While we can't give a definite answer, we can say this. Our prison was in operation from 1871 until 1979. The Old Montana Prison saw ten's of thousands of inmate's for every crime imaginable. Many bad things happen in prison, from planned executions to murder, riots, assaults of all types and general mayhem. These walls have seen it all and if they could talk we would be told of a saga of shocking and epic proportions.

Every emotion known to mankind has penetrated every inch of this prison. Is it unreasonable to think that perhaps something is left over here? When the inmates left this prison, for whatever reason, they left behind a part of themselves, so perhaps a part of that still lives on inside the walls of the Old Montana Prison.

It's something to think about.

Hi Shelley,
Would you mind e-mailing me the picture at info@pcmaf.org? I would absolutely love to take a look at it. We have found paranormal activity in the cellhouse, so I would be interested in seeing the pic. A lot of our visitors say the same thing about Max...and many just can't go in there or stay in there so you are not alone with how you felt. I'm glad you got to visit the Old Montana Prison and I hope you enjoyed yourself!
