We have just arrived at Genoa Cemetery one of the oldest in the state of NV and rumored to be haunted. The team is very excited about investigating this location and it would live on up to its eeriness as the investigation continued on. Many of the interments here are Masons and Oddfellows so allot of the stones are works of art surrounded by finely crafted wrought iron. Check us out sometimes at paranormalghostsociety.org and visit our investigation archives.

This is a much deeper look at history as we walk amongst some of the oldest gravestones found at Genoa Cemetery. Every grave from the 1800s is a piece of history.

Not to far from these graves is an old fort and some of the oldest historic structures within the state. The entire area especially this burial ground are historically significant.

Eccentric mixologist at Nevada’s Oldest Bar
It’s only fitting that a drinking establishment as idiosyncratic as this has a hostess as colorful as Dana. A frosty beer and a game of pool never went down better than here at the oldest, quirkiest, most memorable saloon you’ll ever set foot in. Point your nose toward the mountains and put the brakes on at Genoa.

Crushing Irish Car Bombs at the Lucky Spur Saloon in Austin, Nevada
This is a behind-the-scenes look at me crushing an Irish car bomb at the Lucky Spur Saloon on Kingston Canyon Road in Austin, Nevada. The owners are such wonderful, kind people. If you’re on a road trip through Nevada, definitely stop by for their Bloody Mary! It’s very spicy.
Fort Churchill
Fort Churchill was built as a direct result of the Pyramid Lake War that began on May 12, 1860. The war started when three white men from a Pony Express stop called Williams Station kidnapped two Paiute girls and held them prisoners. This was the final straw for the Paiutes who blamed the whites for the destruction of the plant life and food supplies that generally got them through harsh, cold winters. The Paiutes attacked the station, released the Paiute girls, killed three white men, and burned the station to the ground.

Virginia City is the Wild West
Virginia City, NV may be set in the 1800′s but the entertainment is timeless! It is a town rich in history and the home to a lot of firsts and lasts. Mark Twain first used his pen name here, Janice Joplin joined what would be her first band and they have the last full speed stagecoach ride.
There is an ever evolving calendar of events and something different almost every weekend! There are wild west show downs, themed balls, silly parades and museums galore. You can walk the town and enjoy the shops and saloons or dig in your heels and try every adventure. I love costumes and you have to love a town where you can dress in 19th century attire and blend in. With so much to do, the only thing you will have to worry about is how many days you can spare to stay.
