The discovery of copper in the 1880s turned Butte's copper barons into some of the wealthiest men in America.
But the hills that glittered in the sun could also cast sinister shadows of greed and vice at night.
This led some to brand the mountain town "The Devil's Perch".
With the town now intent on rebuilding its image, it seems every renovation project is digging up a paranormal nightmare with residents and businesses reporting terrifying ghostly encounters.
In an unlikely partnership, Mayor J.P. Gallagher and Sheriff Ed Lester have called in an elite team of paranormal investigators to help.
When investigator Dave Schrader, tech expert K.D. Stafford and psychic medium Cindy Kaza arrive in Butte, they find paranormal activity that startles even them.
The team unearths disturbances ranging from feuds between rival mine owners to lovers resorting to violence to vice-fueled horrors lurking in the town's past.
As the disturbing cases begin to form a pattern, the team discovers an army of trapped spirits crying for help, and they refocus their efforts on finding who or what is causing so much anguish.
Resorting to threats and violence, the dark entity beneath Butte goes on the attack.
The spiritual awakening is in full force and quickly forces the team to question if they'll make it out of Devil's Perch unharmed.
Will the town continue to be haunted by spirits of the past or will it finally break free?

Taking viewers on an incredible journey from classic British breads, Paul leads the way through soda breads, flatbreads, continental breads, sourdoughs and enriched breads.
Alongside the tips and tricks of the trade, Paul also shows how bread is much more than something to pick at before the food arrives – it can be a meal in itself.
From beautiful breakfasts, light lunches, tea-time treats to richly satisfying dinners; this series puts bread centre stage.

Paul explains the basics of bread making by making a classic white bloomer, a gorgeous crusty everyday bread that he transforms into the perfect portable lunch, and his colourful roasted vegetable picnic loaf.

For tea, there is nothing better than a slice of Paul's honey-glazed, fruit-packed malt loaf.
But his breads are no sideshow, so for a hearty family dinner he bakes his medieval-style rye and wholemeal trencher, a stunning centrepiece flat loaf piled high with watercress salad and sliced, seared lamb leg steaks in a mustard dressing.
