The Haunted Moss Mansion In Montana May Give You A Creepy Christmas

Billings' gorgeous Moss Mansion is especially magical during the holiday season. When the rooms are all decked out in holiday decor, you can't help but get into the Christmas spirit. In fact, you'll have such an amazing time, you might even be able to forget that the mansion is allegedly one of Montana's most haunted places... perhaps.

The Moss Mansion is the former home of the Moss family, and it was their pride and joy.

The home was inhabited by Mr. and Mrs. Moss, their six children, and three servants.

The family was happy, but they did suffer a devastating loss.

In 1903, the youngest child, Virginia, died of diptheria at the age of five. Virginia always had a sunny disposition, and her family adored her.

These days, the mansion is a public museum, and it's incredible during the holiday season.

From late November through late December, guests can take a guided Christmas Tree Tour. Tours include stories about Christmases past, and everyone can vote on their favorite tree.

Christmas guided tours are $20 per person, and self-guided tours are $15.

Children under 5 are always free. Local organizations and businesses decorate over 15 full-sized, lit trees for the occasion, and it's quite a sight.

If the mansion is actually haunted (paranormal investigations have picked up some activity), rest assured, it's just the beloved Moss family.

At least six members of the family died in the mansion, including little Virginia, so perhaps the family just never wanted to leave... and if that's the case, they surely approve of the holiday festivities.

No matter what you believe about ghosts, the Moss Mansion is a spirited place this time of year.

Christmas Tree Tours begin on November 23, and this year's theme is "Christmas Around The World."
