COLOMA
Ghost Town — Coloma, Montana
Status: Abandoned · Access: Access unknown
Dossier: https://haunthunt.com/place/coloma-coloma-montana/

Little-documented mining camp north of Garnet.

A ghost town in Coloma, Montana, Coloma is filed here for what the record attaches to it. Little-documented mining camp north of Garnet. The archive files it under ghost towns. The dossier holds 1 documented fact — a documented spine with no haunting reports attached. It stands abandoned — what remains is the shell and the record. It is the sort of entry the archive keeps because the ground and the telling both survive.

Coloma is the mystery — the 'records missing' that's the archive's gap, the 'gold lost' that's the tailings' secret. The 'fed them' is the ruled — the 'food' that's the control's lever, the 'boardinghouses' that's the companies' grip. The '1896 active' is the boomed — the 'survey' that's the USGS's report, the 'unprofitable' that's the '16's verdict.
The 'Depression returned' is the reoccupied — the 'trash dump' that's the '30s evidence, the 'newspapers' that's the walls' insulation. The 'cannonball road' is the built — the 'four miles' that's the timber's cut, the 'Garnet' that's the neighbor's name. Coloma is the walked — the 'boulders' that's the trail's lining, the 'shafts' that's the mine's remains.
The file keeps Coloma: the mystery records, the food control, the Depression return, and the walked shafts.
Coloma is the archive's Montana file — the camp that ate its profit.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Coloma is the archive's Montana file — the gold town where the food was the chain.
A camp keeps its dump — the file's suggestion being that Coloma's hold is the fed: the 'boardinghouses' that's the coercion's form, the 'missing records' that's the mystery's core, and the 'returned' that's the Depression's reuse.

HISTORY — 1 documented facts
· The tourism record describes surviving mining remains and structures dated by 1920s–1930s newspaper insulation. A ghost town's file is unusual: the emptiness itself is documented, and this entry is part of that record. The press recorded it; the detail stands as reported history. 'Coloma - Mystery Camp of Garnet Range' documents the entry. It is the kind of fact the rest of the dossier leans on.
