The
Old Washoe Club
Virginia
City, Nevada
October 31, 2006

This
is the old Washoe Club in Nevada, it is in the area where a mortuary
used to be, now used as a place where they store alcohol. It was
taken at 11:36pm on Halloween 2006. |
Built
in 1864, it belonged to John Mackay and was used as the Millionaires
Club. It has a bar which is used by the locals and has a pool
room for their use as well. It has a hand carved stairway leading
to the second floor where Mackay and his cronies use to whoop it up.
As late as the 1920s, there was a prostitute killed upstairs
by a disgruntled client. He slit her throat from ear to ear while
she lay bleeding out her hearts blood in a bathtub. Her rose
perfume is often smelled wafting through the bar downstairs. The locals
have nicknamed her Rose.
The quintessential ghost of the Washoe Club is the Man in Black.
He is dressed in black slouch hat, black shirt, black jeans, black
boots and over all wears a dirty black duster. He sits at the bar
nursing a whiskey. He mumbles and swears under his breath. Just when
the next bar patron has had about enough of him and gets fed up enough
to tell him to SHUT UP!. The man in black slowly vanishes
into thin air along with his drink. The patron is left quite shaken
until the bartender calmly asserts that He is just one of the
long dead patron ghosts of the Washoe Club.
This
is a very interesting buliding. To me just as interesting as the Goldfield.
This is our first trip and we gathered some EVP here. The interesting
thing about EVP is that 3 different people can hear different things.
We are doing an ongoing investigation of this wonderful building and
will be doing extensive research. More EVP to come from our second
trip.
