The Nevada Ghost and Paranormal Series starts Sept. 14. I wanted to give you a heads-up on what’s being offered this fall and to share that I will be teaching this time as well! Ghost Hunting 101—Stewart Indian School Gain a solid understanding of how to conduct a legitimate ghost hunt and then put [...]
In 1870 Samuel Buckland dismantled some Fort Churchill buildings he purchased from the government to build his house a half-mile south along a cottonwood tree-lined stretch of the Carson River in northwestern Nevada. His home, an oasis in the Great Basin Desert next to the Overland Route, offered the amenities of a stagecoach station, supply [...]
See my previous week’s post on “The Bible advocates using intuition.” Just like people, not all spirits come from an affirming place. Some may try to veer you off your spiritual path while others will help you forge a deeper relationship with the Great I Am. Here are a few questions you should ask yourself [...]
See last week’s post for details about three ghostly buildings. Gold Hill Hotel, Gold Hill, Nev. Not to be confused with the Goldfield in central Nevada, the Gold Hill Hotel is located about a mile southwest of Virginia City. Probably established around 1859, it’s one of the state’s oldest continually operating lodging establishments and has [...]
A great number of haunted sites litter the greater Reno area. Some attribute the wealth of supernatural activity here to the region’s rich mining and Wild West heritage. The problem is few of these places are open to the public. Here are five paranormally active sites—where I’ve encountered ghosts—that you can easily visit. Cal Neva [...]
My friend, uncomfortable with his new business space, wanted to know if I could come by. He explained that he and his business partner opened a music/video recording studio in an old renovated house just west of downtown Reno. Soon after settling in, weird noises (laughter, talking and stomping up the stairs) had begun. The [...]

1920s Tonopah. Well past its mining heyday, but still a busy rural Nevada community. Located midway between Reno and Las Vegas on Nevada State Highway 95, this town offered a welcome respite for travelers seeking a break from the desert heat and dust. Its buildings—both elegant Victorians and hastily constructed shacks—appear cradled up in the [...]
Some Christian denominations teach that all paranormal is evil, to discourage their flocks from dabbling with ghosts. This thinking is flawed as ignorance does nothing to prevent supernatural activity. Believing spirits don’t exist won’t protect you. Once, I lived in a condo where I frequently woke to find a shadow person standing by my bed. [...]
St. Mary’s Arts Center, the former hospital and orphanage for the 1870s’ silver boom town of Virginia City, Nevada, isn’t the most haunted place I’ve visited, but it’s still quite active. A passerby may mistake this three-story, red brick building as a large, stately mansion with its long driveway lined by parched, thin trees. A [...]
