Canyon Gate’s Phantom Tunnels
BOZEMAN, MT- Residents thought the controversy around Canyon Gate would just be about density, traffic, and whether 60 “workforce units” is enough to house anyone who doesn’t own a Sprinter van. But recent sightings suggest something deeper, literally.
Construction crews claim their excavators keep hitting hollow voids beneath the site. Some workers say they’ve found brick archways, 19th-century pickaxes, and even a set of carved initials reading “E.S.”, which conspiracy boards immediately linked to Ellen Story, the theatre namesake and rumored medium who once hosted séances in the tunnels beneath the Ellen Theatre.
Local ghost tour operators now insist Canyon Gate is the western portal to an underground tunnel system connecting Bozeman’s historic hotels, the Ellen Theatre, and several “forgotten” speakeasy basements.
City officials deny the existence of such tunnels, though they’ve refused to release sewer line blueprints. Meanwhile, homeowners near Canyon Gate report faint piano music under their floors at night, sheet music from the Ellen’s 1920s productions.
One resident claims: “I just wanted a duplex. Instead I bought a duplexed portal.
