Dumas Brothel · Butte, Montana · In Search of the Paranormal LIVE
Tim, Kristin and Scott investigate the Dumas Brothel in Butte for more than four hours, moving through upstairs rooms and the basement. The recording includes electromagnetic baselines, a silver-dollar trigger object, repeated recorder sessions and playback, dowsing questions, ghost-box work, photography and a calibrated laser-grid experiment. In the basement they find bone-like objects among pottery, wood and fabric, but the recording does not establish that the material is human or that a crime occurred; animal bones and fill debris are considered. Later reports include perfume and foul odors, lightheadedness, ringing ears, touch sensations, a growl, footsteps and shadow impressions. The team also checks ordinary possibilities such as camera interference, drafts, breathing, their own foot noise, clothing reflections and fatigue. Interpretations of names and phrases remain unverified. A long audience break separates the earlier basement work from later equipment tests and final ghost-box questions.

Key Moments
Chapters combine transcript-supported additions with existing archive chapters and attributed viewer observations where available. Source labels identify reviewed additions. Reported experiences and transcribed interpretations do not establish their cause.
Reviewed captions span 0:07–4:08:16. The recording ends during continued activity rather than a formal closing. Auto-generated captions may mishear speech and do not independently verify audio or images. Only loaded top-level comments were sampled; replies and live chat were not exhaustively reviewed, and viewer flags remain unverified.
