Speaker 1: Ghost Stories of the Rocky Mountains written by Barbara Smith
published by Lone Pine Publishing. The Senators Spirit a home
known sometimes as the Copper King Mansion and at other
times as the Clark Mansion, share some characteristics with the
haunted house in the last story. This enormous residence is
also in Beeu At Montana and is firmly believed to
be haunted by the original owner. W. A. Clark was
influential politically as well as financially. At the time of
his death, he was Senator Clark. Unlike Kennessey, Clark made
his wealth directly for mining. Clark's continuing presence in his
former home is one of the most treasured aspects of
the building. According to its current occupants, Clark's ghost has
occasionally even been seen. Those witnessing the manifestation describe it
as almost classic ghost sighting terms. A flash of either
shadow or a white moving and a floating fashion everyone
associated with a huge home indicates that Clark's spirit is
a positive one, but the presence can be something of
a nuisance. What is now the game room, for instance,
will not warm up past sixty eight degrees fahrenheit, although
the rest of the place is toasty and consistent seventy
eight degrees. Interestingly, Clark's ghost is respectful of the dignity
of those still living, and that he will not allow
a bathroom door to remain open. Even when the door
is purposely propped open. Just a little while later, it
will be found closed, and the phantom's tinkering with the
doors doesn't in there. He's been known to close doors
to other rooms too, and even to lock them in
a common way many other haunted houses, the electric lights
at the Clark Mansion can be a problem. Lights that
were carefully turned off at night will be found burning
brightly the next day. If all of this ghostly activity
were not enough for the Clark Mansion, and a photograph
taken in nineteen ninety, a phantom image of a selling
ship appeared reflected in a top floor window. However, nothing
but blank window glass was visible when the photographer took
the photo. Perhaps the Senator spear It's not the only
mysterious force at work in the Clark Mansion,
