Washoe Club EVPs & Virginia City Ghost Tours

Here is just a sampling of some of the EVPs I captured at the Old Washoe Club in Virginia City.  
Please note: As with most EVPs, they are often difficult to hear unless you are using headphones.

In this first one, I am standing in place, filming.  A fellow investigator is walking away from me in a hallway (you will hear her footsteps). But I hear a slow male whispered, followed by a fast female sound.

In this second one, we were sitting down for an EVP session and I had just placed a flashlight on the floor. I was inviting the entities to "play" with it by turning it on.  I think there is a quiet answer after the break after I ask the question.

In this one, one of my fellow female investigators was just finishing saying something, and you will hear her voice finish that.  Then there is a male voice that comes in quietly and says something, 1 syllable, sounds like "guy" or "die" or something similar.

In this next one, I am in the room with one other investigator, and no one is humming or singing, but this is what was recorded:  Here

And finally, my favorite from this trip doesn't even require headphones.  This needs no further explanation, other than the main female voice you hear is NOT me or any other investigator in the building.  And she does sound friendly!  Here

I am REALLY looking forward to returning to Virginia City next month!  Myself and 3 team members were invited to help a paranormal investigations team there, and I will be staying overnight for three nights in the haunted St. Mary's Art Center.  We will be helping to lead 1 hour paranormal tours and 3 hour investigations at these locations:

*The Historic Chapin-Cavanaugh Boarding House.  Built in 1862 by Samuel Chapin and once known as the finest Boarding House in Virginia City.

*The St. Mary Louise Hospital.  Built in 1875 by St. Mary's Church as the Catholic Hospital of Virginia City, later to become Storey County Hospital.

*The Fourth Ward School in Virginia City.  This Victorian building was in operation from 1876 to 1936.  A beautiful location to experience.

If you have EVER wanted to go to a haunted location for a tour or short investigation, but don't have the time or desire to be in a paranormal investigation group, this is a terrific event!  As of today, there are still tickets left.  You can stay in Virginia City in a haunted hotel (Silver Queen, or several others), or a non-haunted hotel (like the Silverland Inn).  Or you can always take the drive to stay in Reno or Carson City.  Haunts on the Hill

The Old Washoe Club - Virginia City, NV

So I got locked into an old haunted saloon and millionaire's club in the wild west the other night.  And I actually paid money to have that done to me!  Was I crazy?  No.  Did I have a blast? Yes.  Was I kinda tired when I dragged my tired butt to bed around 6am after investigating all night?  You bet!

The Old Washoe Club was built in 1875, burnt extensively later that year, was rebuilt, and served originally as a men's club for the millionaires who were raking in the big bucks from all the gold and silver mining in and around Virginia City.  The mining bust occurred shortly after the rebuild was completed, so the building has been used as many things throughout the years, and fell into disrepair for a long period of time as well.

There is a terrific saloon downstairs that is still in operation, and it's a great mixture of locals and tourists in there as well.  Of course, much of the conversation turns to the paranormal, since the employees have all seen, heard, or felt something, and many of the visitors are there in hopes of experiencing something as well.

Behind the saloon  is a museum with some artifacts, lots of photos of potential orbs and apparitions, and tons of Ghost Adventures memorabilia (since they did some of their episodes there in the past), as well as a signed photo from Britt Griffith (Go TAPS!), items from local authors, and many other interesting items.  In the very back of the building, lies "the Crypt"...

Originally built as a store room, and smartly built entirely out of stone, including the floor, the interior is like a 2 story oval-shaped cylinder.  COLD inside, even though it was in the 90's when I was there.  The history with this space goes like this: In the winter, the ground is frozen solid, and back in the old days, they needed a place to store the town's dead bodies until the ground thawed in the spring... Hence, it is called the crypt now.  I spent 15 minutes in there myself at 4am, in the dark, alone, for an EVP session.  I had some K2 interaction that seemed relevant to questions I was asking, LOUD knocking on the wooden floor far above me (and no one was in that part of the building at that time), AND my left arm was lightly touched twice by something/someone there.  It blew my mind.

There are 2nd and 3rd floors as well.  The 2nd floor has been open for some years now, but the 3rd floor has only been reopened since June of this year.  They are built in a very maze-like arrangement of rooms and halls, but after being there for awhile, it starts to make sense.  Still, some members of our group never quite got the layout while there.  It can be hard to understand confusing layouts when you are in the dark.  There is no electricity in the upper floors, so all investigative equipment needs to be battery powered, or have some long extension cords.

I am not "a sensitive", but certain areas definitely had certain feelings to them.  I never felt threatened, but it certainly felt like something or someone was there, and I couldn't see them.  We encountered a little mouse that we gave a Reese's Pieces to (I know, not exactly rodent health food, but he was so cute and someone in the group had candy with them!), and a small bat (who was probably there to eat the bugs we encountered through the night).  The "sensitives" who were there all felt that there were a lot of entities around, but I have no evidence of that bit of insight, so I can just take that for what it's worth.

We had some significant REM pod activity in one room on the third floor when no one was there, some motion detectors went off in areas we were staying out of, and I am hoping we got something on camera or audio!
I have not gone through my audio or video evidence yet, but I am hoping for something good.  When and if I do have something great to share from that, you can bet I will add a post with that info!
