The Murderer Who Promised to Return as a Ghost

In January 1903, former Missoula laundry operator Louis H. Mott’s spiral into alcoholism and addiction ended in brutal violence when he murdered his wife, Leah, as she attempted to flee down a back stairway. Convicted of first-degree murder and facing the gallows, Mott underwent a quiet transformation in his cell—culminating in an extraordinary death-row claim that he would scientifically prove life after death by appearing to Montana Congressman Joseph M. Dixon in Washington, D.C. following his execution. Host Allen Sircy untangles the tragic true crime story of Missoula’s 1904 execution and its bizarre aftermath, where a room of Washington politicians gathered late into the night for a reception with an executed killer's ghost.
