History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind13 Jan

Haunted Virginia City Redux

Virginia City is an Old West mining town complete with a history of gun fights, explosions, brothels and mine cave-ins. The Virginia City National Landmark is one of the nation's largest historic districts and includes over five hundred buildings dating to the time of the great bonanzas, from 1859 to 1880. John Mackay was an industrialist who formed a partnership with three other Irishmen and operated silver mines on the Comstock Lode. They hit it big in 1873 when they discovered the "Big Bonanza." That find built Virginia City and kept it on the map for the next two centuries. On the original episode, we were joined by three listeners to share their experiences. We'll share a bit of those on this one and updates. The Washoe Club was given its own episode originally, but we are including it here to give Virginia City a complete exploration. Join us for the many haunts of Virginia City!
