Buckle up, because you’re about to board the creepiest ride of the year—a trolley tour of Butte’s most haunted places, and yes, they’re all really haunted.

Copper City Shockers is a spine-tingling event that turns the Mining City into a hotspot for ghost stories, eerie locations, and the kind of history that makes you wonder if the walls are whispering when no one’s around.

Leading the pack of fright-seekers is none other than local historian and master storyteller, Chris Fisk. If you think Butte’s past is wild, just wait until Fisk starts weaving tales of terror from its darkest corners. You’ll be hanging on to every word... and maybe onto the person next to you, too. Just ask first.

The Haunted Tour of Your Nightmares

The Copper City Shockers trolley tour doesn’t just roll past old buildings—it takes you straight to the scene of the crime (or haunting). From abandoned mines to old hotels, Fisk unveils the tragic and spooky happenings that left some spirits unable to move on.

Ever wonder what it was like inside Butte's most notorious haunted sites, like the Dumas Brothel or the Hennessey Mansion? You're about to find out in ways that will send shivers down your spine.

We’re talking about disembodied voices, shadowy figures, and some pretty hair-raising true stories of miners who never left their posts—and still roam their old stomping grounds.

Chris Fisk: Butte’s Own Ghost Whisperer

If anyone knows how to turn a historical fact into a ghostly tale, it’s Chris Fisk. Fisk’s deep knowledge of the area’s history, combined with his eerie knack for storytelling, makes this tour more than just a jaunt through spooky spots—it’s an experience you won’t soon forget.

His tales aren’t just ghost stories: they’re part of the city’s ghostly, gritty history. But trust us, you’ll want to leave your skepticism behind on this tour because these stories have a way of sticking with you... maybe even when you get back home...

The Trolley Tour Experience

The tour kicks off at either Headframe Spirits (aptly named) or Slainte, both in Uptown and where you’ll board the haunted trolley. The creepy caravan winds through Butte’s eeriest areas, with stops that give you just enough time to soak in the creepy atmosphere.

But don’t worry, the tour’s spooky atmosphere is also paired with a lighthearted touch. It's the perfect balance of chills and chuckles, because what's a ghost tour without a little humor to calm the nerves, right?

A Halloween Treat You Won’t Forget

The Copper City Shockers trolley tour is the perfect way to celebrate Halloween in true Butte fashion. It's equal parts history, haunt, and hair-raising fun. Whether you're a believer in ghosts or just here for the ride, you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for Butte's rich, eerie past—along with a few new ghost stories to tell.
