I don't have a specific scary story about State Road 200 in Montana right off the bat. But often, in remote areas like that, there could be tales of strange apparitions seen at night.

Yes, one ranger said he saw a ghostly figure near an old, abandoned ranger station. It was a misty night and as he walked by, he saw a figure in old - fashioned ranger clothes just standing there.
