Tucked away in the town of Deer Lodge, Montana awaits a unique landmark known as the Old Montana Prison Complex. The crown jewel of the complex is the Old Montana State Prison, which was constructed by prison laborers in the 1800s. Standing near the prison, you’ll marvel at the 24-foot high sandstone walls which were put in place to prevent escapes. The prison operated until 1979 when the last prisoners were transferred and the property was open to the public.

Several reports of ghosts and paranormal spirits suggest that it’s among the most haunted places in Montana.
