The plant at Colstrip

Montana · United States · Haunted site

Figures are seen moving between the transformers at night, and most often when the air is full of static.

The power station at Colstrip, Montana is one of the largest coal fired plants in the western United States, and what is reported there is unlike anything else in this archive.

Shadow figures are seen at night among the switchyard, moving from one transformer to the next through the web of lines.

The condition everybody agrees on is the weather. They are seen when the air is full of static electricity.

That is worth taking seriously as a physical observation rather than dismissing. A high voltage switchyard in dry, charged air produces corona discharge, visible as faint moving blue light along conductors and hardware, and it genuinely does travel and flicker between components. Anyone working nights around one has seen it.

Whether that accounts for all of it is another question, and the people who work there are not the sort to be surprised by their own equipment.

The plant is an industrial site and is closed to the public.
