I have literally been to hundreds of
locations to investigate over the past six
years, and a handful, in my opinion, have
been extremely active locations. A few
cities that have grabbed my attention are
Virginia City, NV and Goldfield, NV.
These two locations had a lot going on in
the late 19th century/early 20th century,
respectively, with the gold and silver
rushes. Both towns/camps swelled to tens
of thousands of people in a short period
of time then shrunk in just a few years.
It has the original jailhouse and courthouse, high school, and the now infamous Goldfield Hotel. It is, in Goldfield, where Virgil Earp died. It is a ghost town…with an Old West charm. The people are down to earth, and it has all the political strangeness of any small town I’ve visited.
During a weekend in Goldfield, a group of ten friends decided to take on investigating the Nixon building and the Goldfield High School. This is probably one of the weekends that will stick with me for a very long time. Not only is it a lot of fun to take a paranormal road trip with your friends, but something very interesting happened to me that weekend during
our investigation of the Nixon Building.
Goldfield Consolidated Mines building,
which was a communications center for
the mining company. Judging by the
setup inside the building, downstairs was
a place where miners would cash in their
gold, and was later used as a post office.
There is a basement that contains the
building’s furnace, and it appears there
were living quarters upstairs.
