Ep 10. Dumas Brothel

In the 16th season's 10th episode of Ghost Adventures, the team visits "The Dumas Brothel" in Butte, Montana. Built in the late 19th century, the brothel was a popular destination for miners who wanted to indulge in the services of the working women. With the promise of a profitable life, it drew women from all walks of life to work there. However, despite the brothel's popularity, it was taboo to talk about it in public. Even the building's facade was designed to blend in with the neighboring establishments, ensuring anonymity.

As soon as the Ghost Adventures crew arrives, they notice that the weather has taken a dramatic turn, with strong winds, snow, and cold temperatures. They also notice that the building is in a state of disrepair, with many of the floors falling apart and evidence of water intrusion. However, despite these challenges, the team is determined to explore the building and investigate the various claims of paranormal activity.

The investigation starts on the first floor, which used to be the parlor where clients would be greeted and choose a working girl. The team splits into two groups and uses their equipment to attempt to communicate with the spirits said to haunt the brothel. They also use a special device that is designed to detect any changes in the electromagnetic field, which is believed to be a sign of paranormal activity.

As they move to the upper floors, they come across the so-called "crib rooms," tiny cramped quarters that were rented out by the hour. Many of these rooms are believed to be haunted, with visitors claiming to have seen figures and heard unexplained noises. The team sets up cameras and audio equipment in these rooms, hoping for concrete evidence of paranormal activity.

During their investigation, the Ghost Adventures team also learns about the brothel's history. They discover that it was a dangerous place, with many of the women being beaten, raped, and killed. In one particularly disturbing incident, a young girl was thrown off one of the upper floors after refusing a client's advances.

As the investigation comes to an end, the team is left with a wealth of evidence of paranormal activity, including video footage of mysterious shadows moving through the building, unexplained noises, and even the sound of a woman crying. They also uncover evidence of the brothel's violent history and its connection to the spirits said to haunt it.

Overall, Ghost Adventures' visit to the Dumas Brothel offers a chilling glimpse into the past, revealing the dangers faced by the women who lived and worked there and the ghosts who continue to haunt its halls. With its mix of history and paranormal investigation, this episode is sure to leave viewers both fascinated and spooked.
