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 1920’s, there was a prostitute killed upstairs by a disgruntled client. He slit her throat from ear to ear while she lay bleeding out her heart’s 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.
