Yesterday's "Bewitched in Billings" answer was "The Weeping Woman".  For years, witnesses have reported seeing this woman walk along the banks of the Yellowstone River about 5 miles east of town.  She is tall, with dark brown hair and is said to wear a long, flowing white dress.  Similar stories of a weeping woman, or La Llorona, been part of southwestern folklore for centuries.  According to legend, she appears to be searching for lost children.

Today's "Bewitched in Billings" story is also steeped in tradition.  Once again today, we're looking for a group of people, not a place.  The story originates from the Crow Nation in Carbon County, Montana, and was later made famous by Lewis and Clark during their westward voyage.  According to local lore, these diminutive, devlish looking creatures would tear the hearts of the horses of enemy forces.  In the 1930's the mummified remains of a dwarf were produced as alleged proof of the legend.  Here's your hint:  "Little People, Big World".
