Nevada is unique! Perhaps this is why so many stars choose to stay and haunt us. Marilyn, Elvis, Tupac. Liberace, Redd Foxx, and Frank Sinatra are some of the dead famous who continue to reside within the Silver State's boundaries. But it isn't all glamour and bright lights. Millions of tourists flock to the state annually. Of those who visit Las Vegas, I wonder how many are aware that within miles of that fabulous city are the crumbling ruins of ghost
towns. These ghost towns are scattered throughout The Silver State, they are all that remain of the hopes and dreams of those who once lived here...Some like
Rhyolite and Berlin may be in better condition than
others; but the spirits of long dead citizens probably
inhabit them all.
The Clark County Museum in Henderson (near Las Vegas) is an interesting place for ghost enthusiasts and history buffs to visit. Take a walk down the museum's Heritage Street. Not only is this a great location to see the homes that folks lived in during the 20's 30's 40's and 50's, you're liable to come face to face with a ghostly resident or two.
Las Vegas, otherwise known as "Sin City" is Nevada's largest city. It's glamourous, and dazzling, but the state's most haunted city is Virginia City, a little town some 500 miles north.
Ghostly miners, murderers, courtesans and yes,
even cats, are all part of this town's haunted
population.
Regardless
of what city you're interested in, there's no shortage
of ghosts here in the wondrous state of Nevada. Hauntings have been
reported in Reno, Las Vegas, Carson City,
Ely, Elko, Austin, and just about every other city in the Silver State.
