Spirit Tailings This talk will weave a ghostly web in a thought-provoking journey to Montana’s most spirited places. Like the tailings left by Montana's early placer miners, Ellen Baumler's "tailings" explore the leftover traces of Montana's haunted heritage. A herd of ghost horses, a restless artist, spirits of Virginia City's vigilante past, a ghostly legacy of Lewis and Clark, and other true tales will leave you looking over your shoulder all the way home.
This is the final presentation in Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park’s annual Friday Summer Speakers Series, which has introduced a new speaker each Friday throughout the summer.
About the speaker: Ellen Baumler received her PhD from the University of Kansas in history, classics, and english. From 1992 until her retirement in 2018, she was the Montana Historical Society's interpretive historian in Helena. The author of 13 books and dozens of articles on various Montana topics, Ellen is best known for her well researched stories about Montana's special haunted places. Her passion for the true supernatural began in her own historic home where she learned firsthand about the eerie intertwining of the past and the present.
