The tour will visit The Grandstreet Theatre, home to spectral writings:
Clara Bicknell Hodgin was tragically struck down by illness in 1905, but her spirit survived. Many say the theatre’s famous Tiffany Glass window holds her spirit. Her name has been seen written into the glass in the morning dew.
Fans of the macabre can also visit the Windbag Saloon and Eatery, claimed to be the most visited brothel in Helena:
Windbag Saloon and Grill have a seedy history full of federal raids, secret tunnels, and lust-fueled activity. Strange and seedy figures have been reported in the basement at 2:00 a.m., while the mirror above the bar is a portal to another world many refuses to look into.
The tours will also stop into the famous Myrna Loy Theatre, once home to the local jail in Helena, but also home to a grisly murder:
Not only were the worst criminals in Helena once held here, but a sheriff once killed his wife in their home inside the jail in 1922. Although it was an accident, her spirit still roams these halls. She is joined by the evil energy of the jail’s most tarnished souls.
