High in the Absaroka Mountains lies the ghost town of Kirwin — a place built on promise, gold, and fear.

Once the most modern mining town in Wyoming, Kirwin boasted electricity, telephones, and two-story homes in the wilderness. But after a deadly avalanche struck in 1907, the people fled… leaving everything behind — furniture, tools, even their dreams.

Or did they?

Over a century later, visitors still claim to hear voices as if the town itself refuses to die. Journalists reported that it wasn’t nature that chased the miners from their rich claims, but a premonition of doom.
