(no subject)
So I've been told to update this thing by gracefulaffair . So I'm trying to be dutiful about it. I'm not doing a very good job, I might add. But I do so love this icon. Creeper!Steve is watching yoooooou!
Anyway, so....last weekend? IDK, sometime in the recent past I went up to Virginia City, ya know, one of Nevada's famous mining places. Anyway, we went in to a few of the bars, no drinking because I am not old enough, but anyway, we went in to them because they are haunted and it's awesome. Seriously, I could have done without going in to the shops if all we did was go on a ghost tour of the damn town. So freaking bad ass, like no joke. We went in to the Silver Queen, Delta Saloon to see the Suicide Table, and Goldfield, which the TAPS guys have been in. Whether those yayhoos faked what they did, I don't know. But there was no faking what I saw and felt in that place. There were some ghost guys in there that were totally faking it, I'm sure, because their witching/dousing wires moved like crazy, but I definitely wasn't when I held the dousing wires. It was fucking awesome.
Anyway, on with pictures and more detail.
Dirty windows are NOT okay
This was the view going in. So gorgeous.
I have always wanted to have my own penny pressed. So I did. It's pretty neat!
CANDY CANDY CANDY (and Emily). And this wasn't even the major candy store (which is barrels o' candy) I don't know what this store was called, but it was awesome.
If only rides weren't so expensive. D:
This was outside the Mining Museum. Really cool stuff in there!
Me and Breezy going for a ride in a carriage. :D
I didn't do it.
WAH BELTS.
The Silver Queen. She's made up of 3000+ real silver dollars.
Pretty self explanitory. Literally. Though I didn't sense any ghosts, I sure did in the Silver Queen hotel, I always do. And before this trip, I would walk in to the chapel and hate it. It made me feel angry, sad, and uncomfortable. When I was looking up places that they had stored bodies in the winter when the ground was too hard to dig (I'll explain this in a minute) I found that the chapel was one of them. No back door, so you have to walk through the bar to put the bodies back there. ("'Scuse me folks. Got another member of the toe tag club here. Comin' through.") There was a wedding going on in there, so I didn't get any pictures or video of it this time. ("Hi folks, do you mind if I take some pictures? This used to be the morgue, and I want to catch some ghosts.")

The next stop was, I believe, the Old Washoe Club, an old gentleman's club for millionaires to take their prostitutes, with a bar downstairs. A famous spiral staircase is here too, which I THINK I caught an orb on. But my friend and I heard what we thought was someone coming down the staircase, but no one is allowed to go up their. They may hold tours but I'm not sure.
See it there? What do you think? It could just be dust.
So then we went back into 'the crypt', where they used to store bodies in the winter when the ground was too soft. I had to look up the name because I could remember.
Over in the back there is where they stacked the bodies.
Two ghost hunter guys (real....idiots...for lack of a better term), came in and brought some dousing rods. They'd ask the ghosts questions and they'd move back and forth, and I'm sure they were faking it, but when I held them and they ask questions I was not faking it, and the things moved! It was so cool.
This guy was a douche. And the psycho 'medium' woman was more drunk than anything. And you can see the dorky ghost guys in the back as well.
Some orbs? You decide. But we'd sit where they stacked the bodies (yes I sat there, right where they supposedly stacked the children), and look up, and I kid you not, flashes of light would pass up there across from the staircase.
Shadows were moving up there and stuff. And the guys kept saying "If something happens, you get super cold, or something touches you, let us know."
I never said anything except when my arm got really cold because I knew they'd make a big deal out of it, but something kept poking me and my friend, and at one point something put it's arm around me and messing with me. It was getting to the point where one guy did notice and he took me out of the room so I could get some fresh air, because I was having a hard time breathing, I was getting headaches and nauseous. I think some of it was the dust, though. So we stepped out so that I could get the fresh air.
SO COOL. XD
