The Haunting
The Kempton Hotel is a 1902 historic hotel in Terry, Montana, known as one of the state's oldest continuously operated hotels. Its ghost stories focus on an attic used during an early-1900s flu epidemic, a woman in white, hallway footsteps, rattling doorknobs, and sounds from rooms that should be empty.
The hotel was built in 1902 and opened in June of that year. Local and travel-history sources describe it as Montana's oldest continuously operated hotel, with period furnishings, long-running family stewardship, and a role as a small-town landmark in eastern Montana.
Reported activity: The main HauntedPlaces account describes a white-dressed apparition around the attic stairs, china clinking in the closed restaurant, transparent figures in photos, doorknob rattling, running footsteps, and furniture-dragging sounds. A 2024 commenter said he stayed there in 2011 without knowing the reputation and felt too unnerved to use the hallway bathroom again that night.
