This week, the "Ghost Adventures" Crew head to the ghost town of Bannack, Montana. In 1862, a group of prospectors discovered an enormous amount of gold (around $200 million worth), bringing in a large number of people, and with them came crime. With the gallows right next to the schoolhouse, Bannack's gruesome history includes seven executions in a matter of 14 months. One building in the small town is known as "the Crying Baby house," as it is said to have been used to quarantine sick children to stop the spread of scarlet fever. You can allegedly still hear children in there to this day.
