Unless you’ve lived in the Bozeman area for quite awhile, you may not have heard of the old Gallatin Gateway Inn. Located at 74605 Gallatin Road in Gallatin Gateway, it closed its doors to the public in 2013. The building was recently leased to the prestigious Yellowstone Club, a private residential community in the area, for them to rent to employees.

But before all that, the Gallatin Gateway Inn was the site of a brutal murder, and some say the spirit of the deceased never left. And that’s only the beginning.

The Gallatin Gateway Inn first opened on June 18, 1927.

A female housekeeper was murdered by her boyfriend on the property, and her spirit has been spotted by numerous travelers. In fact, many people claimed that if they looked in a mirror, she'd appear to be standing behind them.
