Known as both the Sagebrush State and the Silver State, both of its nicknames show the stark contrasts of Nevada. It is a state where fortunes have been made and lost from the gold fields to the gambling tables. Nevada is known for its excesses from the lavish casinos of the strip to the wild west shootouts in Virginia City to the quickie marriage and divorce haven of Reno. The lure of the Comstock lode and casino chips has lured many out to this state that might otherwise be seen as desolate from its deserts and canyons.

With so many lively characters in its history, it’s no wonder Nevada seems to be a haven for some of the afterlife’s more lively spirits. Spirits roam historic ghost towns, both those immortalized in film and lost to obscurity. The mine at the heart of the Comstock Lode is still haunted by one of the worst mining disasters in Nevada history while spirits linger in a county courthouse. A prominent businessman haunts his dream home in Nevada’s capital city, and the spirits of gangsters and their mistresses are said to roam one of the oldest Las Vegas casinos.
