Goldfield
Goldfield is one of the best examples of a boom to bust gold rush town. Located 26 miles south of Tonopah, Nevada, Goldfield was founded in 1902 when gold was discovered in the Grandpa mining district. This was a rare post 1900 major gold discovery in Nevada. Some people believe the town's name, Grandpa, meant the camp was the granddaddy of all gold camps. The elected officials changed the name to Goldfield in 1903 because they thought it would be easier to promote a town named Goldfield than Grandpa.

New Gold Diggings Near Goldfield Cemetery; Ghost of Brothel Madame Curses All Who Disturb Her Bones?
Welcome to Wonderhussy Adventure #376
Date of adventure: 10/11/19
The site of one of the biggest goldstrikes in Nevada history, Goldfield was a booming mining town in the early 1900s, with a peak population of 20,000 people -- making it the biggest city in the state. But when the gold was tapped out, the population dwindled...and today, fewer than 300 people live there. But apparently, the old-timers didn't get ALL the gold in the area -- a new vein was discovered in 2019! There's only two problems: one, the gold is DIRECTLY underneath U.S. Highway 95. And two....it's very close to the old cemetery, where a notorious brothel madame is laid to rest. Will the ghost of this feisty New York madame curse all who disturb her bones in their quest for gold??

TONOPAH AND GOLDFIELD CEMETERIES, NV
A mostly dash cam tour of the towns of Tonopah and Goldfield, NV. I know there are folks out there interested in what the towns look like and the only footage they ever get to see of it is inside of the hotels. So, for those of you who are out of state, here is your tour. I would have to admit...Nevada is not the most photogenic state in the Union.
Goldfield Nevada
My unedited drive Southbound through Goldfield, NV on Monday, June 6th, 2011. It's as close as you come to a ghost town without being a ghost town. If it wasn't on the main road from Las Vegas to Reno it probably wouldn't even be what it is. A real shame, too, because it's a neat place with a lot of history. I drive through there once a year or so, and nothing ever seems to move.

Haunted Goldfield NV Hotel (2002)
n the almost ghost town of Goldfield, Nevada is the historic and reportedly very haunted Goldfield Hotel. The town of Goldfield was born when gold was discovered in 1902 and within just a few short years, it became the largest city in Nevada, as millions of dollars in ore were extracted from area mines. Like other cities, whose only reason for being was its mining industry, when the ore played out, so did the town. In addition to its numerous saloons, the city once boasted three newspapers, five banks, a mining stock exchange, and a population of nearly 35,000.
However, just eight years after Goldfield was founded, the volume of ore began to decrease and many of its residents began to move on to more prosperous claims.
By 1920, the gold was almost gone and the town was reduced to just about 1,500 people. Three years later, a devastating fire wiped out 27 blocks of homes and businesses. Today, this once thriving city supports a population of less than 500, but still provides a number of views of its prosperous past, with its centerpiece being the Goldfield Hotel. [ via: ]

Nevada Ghosts, Part 1: Silver Terrace Cemetery
In this story I wrote and voiced in October 2002 as a lead up to Halloween for radio station KKOH in Reno, Nevada I take you on a walk through Virginia City's Silver Terrace Cemeteries and meet ... Something ... that doesn't want us here..
All images, except Jim Fannin's and my pic following Jim's toss, were taken in Virginia City and in VC's Silver Terrace Cemeteries. Well... OK... Maybe the Growler's image isn't from VC... Or, is it?
As Honorary Mayor of Virginia City I want to advise you that a trip to Reno, Lake Tahoe or Carson City is not complete without a visit to Virginia City and the Comstock.
You can learn more about ghosts of Virginia City and other Nevada spirits at Janice Oberding's website where you can also purchase her books Ghosthunters Guide to Virginia City and Haunted Nevada.
You might also be interested in checking out the website of my friend, Sandie LaNae, who is a local psychic and author: Two of Sandie's books, Spirit Sightings and Silver Ghosts have stories contributed by myself.

1. Goldfield, Arizona
Goldfield, Arizona, as the name suggests, was a gold town that thrived in the 1890s, but was abandoned by the late 1920s. Today, Goldfield has been reconstructed as a tourist stop, with a focus on kitsch rather than historical accuracy.
Rhyolite, Nevada
Rhyolite, Nevada was named for silica-rich volcanic rock in its corner of Death Valley, and saw significant investment from Charles M. Schwab in the early 20th century. By 1907, the town even had its own stock exchange, but its population dwindled in the years afterward.
Terlingua, Texas
Terlingua, Texas was built up around mercury mining in the mid-1880s, but was abandoned in the 1940s when production dwindled. Today, Terlingua is mostly a tourist destination for visitors to nearby Big Bend National Park.
Bodie, California
The town of Bodie, California was founded in 1859 and was once California's third-largest city behind San Francisco and Sacramento. The town closed in 1962 after the local gold mine stopped producing and has since become a attraction for tourists.
Thurmond, West Virginia
During the heyday of coal mining in West Virginia, Thurmond was a prosperous town, but its population dwindled into the single digits by the 2000s. Today, much of Thurmond is owned by the U.S. National Park Service.
Calico, California
Calico, California was a booming silver-mining town during the 1880s, but was totally abandoned by 1907. Calico underwent extensive restoration in the 1950s under the direction of Walter Knott, of Knott’s Berry Farm fame, and became a tourist attraction for the state.
Thistle, Utah
The primary industry was servicing steam trains for rail companies, and saw a decline during the switch-over to diesel engines. The real incident that killed the town, however, was a 1983 landslide that flooded the city. Much of it remains submerged today.
Virginia City, Montana
Virginia City, Montana was founded on gold mining in 1863, but the gold ran out by the end of the century and the town was abandoned. Today Virginia City is owned by the state of Montana, and serves as a tourist stop for travelers headed for Yellowstone National Park.
Kennecott, Alaska
The copper mine in Alaska produced $200 million worth of copper ore between 1911 and 1938, but was too remote to survive when the mine ran dry in the early 40s. Kennecott became a tourist landmark by the 1980s, and was designated a historic landmark.

The INTERNATIONAL CAR FOREST(READ DESCRIPTION)
I've been going to Goldfield since I was a kid living in Los Angeles. I've seen so much change in that time, but nothing like the boom of Las Vegas in the early 90's. I'm not really sure when the International Car Forest was made. Though I believe it was built or created in 2005. It has a strange, but true story attached to it. A group came to Goldfield, and basically squatted in 3 trailers, and just took that land. The group organized a church, and I believe it was called the new world church. There was one local that is kinda famous in the Goldfield, and Tonapah area. I'm not going to say hid name, but he was married to a local woman that used to work at the local brothel. Then became the head Maddum of the girls. Then went on to be a huge realtor. They divorced before she became a realtor. This guy has very serious issues with his head, and he lives within shooting distance to the car forest. When I baught the land near the car forest I heard more stories about this guy. I had already heard many bad stories over the years. Like when he captured two burros, and tied them with a rop to his truck to bring them home. One stopped on the 95 frwy, and collapsed. This fool drug the poor burrow on pavement until it died, and just left it there. He's taken many shots with a high caliber rifle, at my friends home, and other homes. On my property before I owned it. A young boy was walking his dog, and this guy started shooting at the dog just feet away from the boy. The police didn't, and couldn't do anything to stop this guy. Everyone in Goldfield thought he was in a witness protection program for going up against the mob. Finally this guy wrote a letter to Harry Reid which was the head senator of the Democratic party. He said he was going to shoot him, and told Harry his name, and where he lived. Within a day 10 black suv's rolled into Goldfield and federal agents surrounded the town. They got him, and thank God for that. The reason why I told this long story is because he helped that church squat the land, and build the International Car Forest. I hope you enjoy this video thank you Christian.
