The high-grade silver camp—empty since the war.

Comet is a ghost town in Boulder, Montana. The high-grade silver camp—empty since the war. HauntHunt files it with ghost towns, mining history and local folklore. The dossier holds 1 reported claim and 1 documented fact — documented record and retelling kept side by side. The site is open to visitors. The dossier keeps the place and the story in the same record — which is what the archive is for.

Comet is the clean — the 'no saloons' that's the condition's odd, the 'no cemetery' that's the town's lack. The 'tramway flew' is the hauled — the 'rope' that's the cable's kind, the 'over pass' that's the route's climb. The 'revived died' is the twice — the '1926' that's the rebirth's year, the '1941' that's the final's end.
The 'modern mill' is the ranked — the 'second Butte' that's the state's size, the '200-ton' that's the flotation's rate. The 'war banned' is the killed — the 'nonessential' that's the label's word, the 'exhausted' that's the mine's state. Comet is the ranked — the 'third best' that's the ghost's tier, the 'one resident' that's the town's count.
The file keeps Comet: the clean town, the flown ore, the twice died, and the ranked mill.
Comet is the archive's Montana file — the ghost town forbidden its saloons.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Comet is the archive's Montana file — the mining town with no cemetery because it had no saloons.
A town keeps its mill — the file's suggestion being that Comet's hold is the conditioned: the 'no saloons' that's the buyer's rule, the 'tramway' that's the ore's route, and the 'twice' that's the death's count.

FILED CLAIMS — 1 on record, reported not verified
· [Anecdotal] apparition: Reported a presence in the buildings. In a place where the population already left once, the remaining reports at Comet feel almost inevitable. It's anecdotal evidence in the strictest sense — stories, repeated, unresolved. The account appears in 'Comet'. The apparition is the file's anchor — every other report orbits it.
