It was also the site of the first major gold rush in Montana and home of Montana’s first Territorial Capital. Over 50 buildings still stand at Bannack. The Visitor Center is open from May through October. Guided town tours, mill tours, living history, and gold panning are scheduled from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Bannack Days, a celebration of pioneer life, takes place on the third weekend in July. The park and campgrounds are open all year. Bannack is located 25 miles southwest of Dillon, just off Highway 278. CHARTER OAK MINE AND MILL The Charter Oak Mine and Mill was a lode mine and mill active off and on from 1916 to 1955. It is located near the Little Blackfoot River south of the community of Elliston. Today you will find standing buildings as well as the equipment and shelters used for mining and milling. The mine has been stabilized and interpreted and is open for public visitation, although it is about a mile hike into the mine. Contact the Montana Discovery Foundation for a tour 406-495-3711. COMET The mine was developed in the 1880s and a large mill was built in 1926. During this period, it is reported that Comet had 22 saloons. The town is on private property but is now open to the public. Located approx- imately 5 miles north of I-15 on High Ore Road between Boulder and Basin. COOLIDGE Located in the east Pioneer Mountains above 7,000 feet, Coolidge was the last silver boomtown in Montana. A narrow-gauge railroad was built to the mine, but the quantity of silver ore did not justify the expense of the rail line or the huge mill that was built. Reached by a good gravel road at Mono Creek along the Pioneer Scenic Byway.

Much of the remaining town site is owned by private individuals so be sure to heed the no trespassing signs. Fraternity Hall and the adjacent Gillian Hall are managed by Montana State Parks. From I-15 take the Boulder exit, seven miles south on Montana 69, then 11 miles north on country road. FARLIN The boom years for Farlin were 1905 and 1906 when the Indian Queen produced half a million pounds of copper. Farlin had its own post office and school. Today a few cabins remain along the Birch Creek road and the schoolhouse is a short hike up a side gulch. Take the Birch Creek exit between Glen and Dillon and go west six miles. GARNET Gold was discovered at the Nancy Hanks Mine in 1898. Garnet’s population boomed to nearly 1,000 people but by 1950 the town was deserted. More than 30 buildings have been preserved here. Garnet offers a Visitor Center, interpretive signs and self-guided trails. I-90 west to Exit 154 for Drummond. Follow the Frontage Road from the west end of Drummond for approximately 10 miles to Bear Gulch Road. Turn onto Bear Gulch Road at the sign for Garnet and proceed 11 miles up the gravel road. Please note the gravel road is not recommended for trailers or motorhomes. SOUTHWEST MONTANA • 1105 MAIN ST, DEER LODGE, MT 59722 • 1-800-879-1159 • SOUTHWESTMT.COM GHOST

Little research exists on listener’s perception of EVPs to date. The field of speech science involves the study of the production, transmission, and perception of human speech. Many concrete elements from the study of speech science have the potential to be applied to the interpretation of EVP content. Several works of literature were reviewed to assess current EVP analysis practices Interviews were conducted with various paranormal investigation societies across the nation to gather information on the general practices involved in EVP collection, analysis, interpretation, and use.

  • Cinematic Ghosts: Haunting and Spectrality from Silent Cinema to the Digital Era
    Cinematic Ghosts: Haunting and Spectrality from Silent Cinema to the Digital Era. Edited by Murray Leeder. Bloomsbury Academic, 2015 (307 pages). Anton Karl Kozlovic Murray Leeder’s exciting new book sits comfortably alongside The Haunted Screen: Ghosts in Literature & Film (Kovacs), Ghost Images: Cinema of the Afterlife (Ruffles), Dark Places: The Haunted House in Film (Curtis), Popular Ghosts: The Haunted Spaces of Everyday Culture (Blanco and Peeren), The Spectralities Reader: Ghost and Haunting in Contemporary Cultural Theory (Blanco and Peeren), The Ghostly and the Ghosted in Literature and Film: Spectral Identities (Kröger and Anderson), and The Spectral Metaphor: Living Ghosts and the Agency of Invisibility (Peeren) amongst others. Within his Introduction Leeder claims that “[g]hosts have been with cinema since its first days” (4), that “cinematic double exposures, [were] the first conventional strategy for displaying ghosts on screen” (5), and that “[c]inema does not need to depict ghosts to be ghostly and haunted” (3). However, despite the above-listed texts and his own reference list (9–10), Leeder somewhat surprisingly goes on to claim that “this volume marks the first collection of essays specifically about cinematic ghosts” (9), and that the “principal focus here is on films featuring ‘non-figurative ghosts’—that is, ghosts supposed, at least diegetically, to be ‘real’— in contrast to ‘figurative ghosts’” (10). In what follows, his collection of fifteen essays is divided across three main parts chronologically examining the phenomenon. Part One of the book is devoted to the ghosts of precinema and silent cinema. In Chapter One, “Phantom Images and Modern Manifestations: Spirit Photography, Magic Theater, Trick Films, and Photography’s Uncanny”, Tom Gunning links “Freud’s uncanny, the hope to use modern technology to overcoming [sic] death or contact the afterlife, and the technologies and practices that led to cinema” (10).

Regional Workshop III Portland August 18, 2011 Online Survey Early September 2011 Report Released October 13, 2011 The Preservation Roundtable was organized by Restore Oregon, formerly the Historic Preservation League of Oregon, to bring together diverse stakeholders to analyze and develop solutions to the underlying issues that stymie preservation efforts. The inaugural topic in 2010 was “Healthy Historic Districts in a Changing World—Compatibility and Viability.” Nearly one hundred people participated, arriving at nine recommendations published in a report titled Healthy Historic Districts – Solutions to Preserve and Revitalize Oregon’s Historic Downtowns. An electronic copy is available on Restore Oregon’s website. The 2011 Preservation Roundtable focused in on “Design Standards for Compatible Infill,” one of the recommendations from the 2010 report, to provide clarity and consistency for review of new construction projects in historic districts. The principles and approaches to implementation that follow come from the best source: the people that live, work, own property, govern, and build within the state’s 123 National Register historic districts.

  • The Development of Copycat Towns in China: an Analysis of Their Economic, Social, and Environmental Implications Working Paper WP17DS1
    The Development of Copycat Towns in China: An Analysis of Their Economic, Social, and Environmental Implications Working Paper WP17DS1 Daniel Sui Ohio State University Bo Zhao Oregon State University Hui Kong Ohio State University October 2017 The findings and conclusions of this Working Paper reflect the views of the author(s) and have not been subject to a detailed review by the staff of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. Contact the Lincoln Institute with questions or requests for permission to reprint this paper. [email protected] © 2017 Lincoln Institute of Land Policy Abstract The great urban leap forward in China during the past four decades has dramatically transformed the Chinese landscape across the country as well as Chinese society in many profound ways. By situating the development of xenophilic copycat towns under the broader context of China’s four urban design and development motifs, this report presents an initial study of copycat/shanzhai towns in China through a mixed qualitative and quantitative approach. The qualitative data gathered through on-site interviews and observations reveal multiple unique and local circumstances for the development of these copycat towns while the quantitative analysis and mapping using big data analytics shed light for the first time on the national trend of this phenomena and its manifestations in the local real estate market. Furthermore, the way in which the development of copycat towns still follows the basic laws of supply and demand and market forces should be taken into full consideration. Most of the successful copycat towns covered in this report are either located near a large city, or have convenient transportation infrastructure that makes them accessible from nearby city centers.

  • Shandong's Yintan Town and China's “Ghost City” Phenomenon
    sustainability Article Shandong’s Yintan Town and China’s “Ghost City” Phenomenon Qianyi Wang 1,*, Ran Li 2 and Kee Cheok Cheong 2 1 Economic School of Shandong Technology and Business University, Yantai 264000, China 2 Institute of China Studies, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur 50603, Malaysia * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +0086-18663876866 Received: 12 July 2019; Accepted: 18 August 2019; Published: 23 August 2019 Abstract: Although much research has been devoted to urbanization and city growth, urban dynamics also include city decay and renewal. Extant theories and models have been developed to explain these dynamics. They do not, however, fit the experience of China’s “ghost cities”. These cities have been characterized as state-built but minimally inhabited, testimony to planning failure by the monolithic Chinese state. The goal of the article is to provide in-depth insights to China’s ghost city phenomenon and its effects to residents from local stakeholders’ perspectives. A review of Shandong’s new Yintan city reveals many ghost city attributes, but its development trajectory was at odds with this stereotype. Yintan’s lack of success was attributable to too little, not too much, state intervention, reflecting limited state capacity to develop and manage the new city by Rushan, the nearby small city seeking to capitalize on the central government’s development imperatives. These distinctive features notwithstanding, generic key drivers of city growth can help explain Yintan’s lack of development, in a sense, reconciling the city’s experience with extant research elsewhere. Keywords: ghost city; government intervention; local stakeholders 1. Introduction Urbanization is gaining momentum in developing countries, especially the largest, China and India, and cities are expected to contribute increasingly to macroeconomic growth.

  • Transcript of a Séance, CR1886/Box 469
    Document of the Month October 2020 Transcript of a séance, CR1886/Box 469 For October’s document of the month, we have decided to focus on a paranormal theme. We have chosen one of the séance transcripts from the Greville of Warwick Castle collection. These were found by a researcher in the papers relating to Anne Greville, the fourth Countess of Warwick. They had been sealed in an envelope marked “Clarke’s specifications for painting…” and appear to be transcripts of séances which occurred at Warwick Castle during the nineteenth century. The transcript starts with the following: “Leave all to the future research. The power at work is not that of the mortals in the Castle”1. First page of the séance transcript, Warwickshire County Record Office, CR1886/Box 469 There are two transcripts in the envelope, but the one we have chosen to focus on here appears to channel the spirit of a servant called Edward Jamieson, who has been blamed for moving objects and creating noises around the castle: “the spirit of me called Edward Jamie-son is one of those who now haunt the place”2. A search of Ancestry and Find My Past yields no records for anyone with that name [although we did find reference to an Edward Jameson baptised in Coventry].
