Walk Virginia City's most haunted locations. 13 stops, self-guided. 3 stops free. No guide, no schedule — just you and the dark.
The Comstock Lode made Virginia City the richest town in America — and one of the deadliest. Julia Bulette was strangled in her bed on January 20, 1867; John Millian hanged for the crime, protesting innocence to the scaffold. Her ghost still watches from second-floor windows on B Street. The Washoe Club stored corpses in its basement crypt when frozen ground prevented burial, and a woman in a blue dress has been ascending its spiral staircase for over a century. Inside the Chollar Mine, thirty-five men burned alive in 1869, trapped in tunnels too narrow to turn — EVP recordings capture voices saying "can't breathe." The Delta Saloon's Suicide Table killed three consecutive owners between 1860 and 1865. Walk 13 free, self-guided stops through Nevada's most haunted ghost town.
