26: Ep. 26 When Gold Rush Dreams Turn To Nightmares: Goldfield Hotel NV

The Goldfield Hotel stands as Nevada’s most haunted building - but the real story is far stranger than any ghost tale.

Deep in the Nevada desert sits a four-story monument to greed that’s been abandoned for 80 years, yet refuses to stay quiet. The Goldfield Hotel was built during the last great gold rush of the American West, when mining magnate George Wingfield ruled an entire state and 20,000 fortune-seekers flocked to a town that shouldn’t exist.

But when the gold ran out, something else moved in.

From the infamous Room 109 where chains drag across floors in empty rooms, to “The Stabber” who lunges at visitors with phantom knives, to voices of children echoing from abandoned mine shafts beneath the basement - the Goldfield Hotel has earned its reputation as one of America’s most actively haunted locations.

We separate the documented history from the manufactured folklore, exploring how a cattle driver turned gambler became Nevada’s most powerful man, why this opulent hotel was built on top of mining graves, and what happens when paranormal investigators capture footage that defies explanation.
