Have you ever visited a haunted battlefield in Montana ? Head over to Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument for an experience that history buffs and supernatural aficionados will love.
History buffs should have the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument on their bucket list.
Considered a place of reflection by the National Park Service, this site memorializes the US Army’s 7th Cavalry and the Lakota and Cheyenne tribes.
The battle of Little Bighorn was one of the last armed efforts to preserve the indigenous way of life.
It symbolizes the clash of the buffalo/horse culture of the Lakota and Cheyenne and the industrial/agricultural culture of the United States.
On June 25 and 26 in 1876, Lt. Col. George A. Custer and 263 soldiers of the U.S. Army died fighting several thousand Lakota and Cheyenne warriors.
The battle was a short-lived victory for the tribes, as Custer’s death became a rallying cry to strengthen efforts to force indigenous peoples onto reservations.
Alongside the battlefield is the Custer National Cemetery where 5,000 veterans and their family members lay at rest.
Rumor has it that the dead are restless at Little Bighorn.
Tourists, employees, and even psychics have heard, seen, and experienced paranormal activity at the site.
There are stories of the sounds of native warriors charging on horseback through the cemetery, cold spots that spring up from nowhere, and warrior spirits sitting on their horses and silhouetted upon the bluffs.
An employee even once saw the ghost of a soldier in the visitor center, so there's no doubt that ghost lovers and history buffs alike will love visiting this battlefield.
