The Butte Archives

Montana · USA · Haunted site

Over two hundred sightings have been logged in the basement of this former fire station since the archives opened. Staff describe firefighters playing.

The Butte archives in Montana occupy an old fire station, and the basement has produced more than two hundred reported sightings since the archives opened.

That number is the point. Most haunted buildings offer a handful of accounts across decades. Here the description given by staff is that it is not an occasional thing at all: go into the basement, go into the far room, and you will probably see it.

What people describe there is a group of old firefighters playing a game of poker, appearing on the wall, along with other figures moving through the space.

The other reports are mechanical. Fire alarms sound with no power running to them. Rolling shelf cases slam together the length of the room.

Butte was one of the richest and most dangerous industrial cities in America, and its fire service worked a mining town where fires killed people regularly. The men described in the basement are sitting out a shift in the station they waited in.

The archives are open to the public as a research facility.
