Ghost hunting in Virginia City

We spent our last night in Virginia City ghost hunting and we did have contact! The Washoe Club was the location of the Millionaires Club back in the 1870’s with guests including President Grant and Mark Twain. It survived the great fire that wiped out most of the city, so it is one of the oldest establishments in Virginia City. We went in hoping to hear a story but luckily the resident ghost hunter was there to entertain us for hours about the different ghosts who haunt the bar.  He let us listen to his recordings of ghosts saying things like “help me” and one mean ghost calling his wife a nasty name. The couple staying next to us in our hotel walked in the back of the bar and the man said he sensed a young girl around 9 watching him and he was right. There is 9-year-old ghost named Josie that haunts that area of the bar!  We were determined to get contact so we sat in the crypt and just talked to our new ghost hunter friend when all of a sudden rocks were being dropped on us. At least 4 small rocks fell and hit us from above…the ceiling is not made of rock and we were in the middle of the room.  Ghosts in the crypt are known to drop rocks on people, so the only logical reason a rock fell out of nowhere, was a ghost of Virginia City was saying hi! 

Ghosts have pushed people down these stairs.
