Carson City

Bee Hive Whorehouse

The ghost of a tall, bloated woman with straggly red hair and dressed in a dirty white nightgown has been seen on the streets near the
whorehouse where she once lived. Her name is Timber Kate, and she was part of a notorious saloon act with her female lover, Bella Rawhide.
The two performed lives sex acts in honky-tonks in Carson City, Spokane, Butte, and Cheyenne. Then young Bella fell in love with a half-breed
ruffian by the name of Tug Daniels. After Bella and Tug ran away together, Timber Kate resorted to dressing as a man in white tights and lifting
weights on stage, through she usually ended doing a bizarre striptease. In 1880, Bella and Tug met up with Kate in Carson City. In the ensuing
showdown, Tug pulled a knife and cut open Kate's belly "from her crotch to her navel." The eviscerated woman died in excruciating pain on the
whorehouse floor. Tug escaped and was never seen again. In 1882, Bella committed suicide by drinking cleaning fluid.

room and her baby was thrown down the old mine shaft at the northern end of the basement. Elizabeth's ghost turned up on a photograph taken
in the room by a reported from Las Vegas. On the first floor, the George Winfield Room is a said to be haunted by his ghost. Untraceable cigar

Virginia City

Ophir Mine

The ghost of Henry Comstock haunts the site where he discovered the "Comstock Lode" in January 1859. He lost millions of dollars when
developers took over his claim, In the winter of 1874, an eerie light shot out of the mouth of the mine and rose sixty feet into the air.
Townspeople arrived to put out what they thought was a fire, but no smoke or flame could be detected. All they could see was the weird light
coming from halfway down the shaft. The next morning, strange things were reported at the long deserted seven-hundred-foot level. the cage
would be summoned when no one was there, and odd sounds could be heard coming from that level. Investigators discovered the glowing ghost
of Henry Comstock, who identified himself and said he was reclaiming his gold. Chunks of skin were hanging from his decomposing skeleton
and "his eyes were an orange-yellow color with pupils that danced as if filled with blue flames." The ghoulish phantom continued to harass the
miners, blowing the their candles one at a time in a row, calling the cage when no one was around, and filling the tunnels with his howling,
insane laughter.
