The Hotel Metlen in Dillon, Montana, built in 1897, is considered haunted by the spirits of past cowboys, with reports of unexplained phenomena like furniture moving, doors opening and closing, and the sound of phantom footsteps on the hardwood floors. Paranormal investigators have documented events such as possessions and ghostly apparitions, including a woman in a white dress and figures wearing a black bonnet and a cowboy hat, adding to the hotel's reputation for being rich with ghostly activity. Furniture is said to move on its own. The sound of boots walking on the old hardwood floors is frequently heard. Doors are reported to open, close, lock, and unlock without any physical cause. Sightings include a woman in a white dress near the bar area, as well as a woman in a black bonnet and a man in a cowboy hat behind the bar. Some investigations, such as the one by Ghost Adventures, have documented occurrences of possession and intense feelings, particularly on the hotel's "forbidden" third floor. The hotel was built in 1897 by J.C. Metlen, who came from a prominent pioneer ranching family. The hauntings are often attributed to the spirits of the hotel's past cowboy customers who are believed to wander the halls.
