Virginia City, Nevada, is widely considered one of the most haunted towns in the American West. Perched high in the Virginia Range southeast of Reno, the city exploded into existence after the discovery of the Comstock Lode in 1859, one of the richest silver strikes in history. During its boom years, Virginia City was a rough-and-tumble mining town filled with saloons, brothels, gambling halls, and dangerous mines. Thousands came seeking fortune, and many never left. The town's combination of mining disasters, deadly fires, violent crime, and frontier hardships has created a paranormal reputation that endures more than 160 years later.
