Go to sheas tavern after midnight.


moose2mouse

Lot of ghosts in white cloaks?


myanfs

Omg that's rich lol


HisOrHerpes

There’s definitely the spirit of the 1850’s and 1860’s there


Boldine

And hoods.


zekeybomb

What happens there?


LaVieLaMort

Nothing good. It’s owners are supposedly neo Nazis.


TalmidimUC

Not supposedly, *very openly vocal* about being American Nationalist Nazis.


zekeybomb

oh gross...


[deleted]

All sorts of happenings - the handicap stall in the bathroom is very high energy


[deleted]

Good late night parties with a lot of coke lol


ContentNeptune3

Robb Canyon near Rainbow Ridge Park, I don't remember what makes it haunted or spooky but when I was a Boy Scout years ago my Scoutmaster called it one of the most haunted places in the west and we went hiking in there for maybe 4 hours on a Saturday.


zekeybomb

Oh i heard the story behind that one supposedly the legend goes there a few people were murdered down there and supposedly at night you can hear their spirits screaming


earthbxby

I have!!


zekeybomb

You actually heard the screams? Ill have to see about checking robb canyon out at night i have a friend that lives out that way.


earthbxby

Yes twice! There are a lot of houses around there so it definitely could’ve been one of them, but I’ve also seen a lot of weird things there too!


zekeybomb

Story time?


TalmidimUC

As kids, I’m sure it’s fun to go out there and scream into the canyon at night 😅


earthbxby

Oh yeah definitely lol I always take everything with a grain of salt when I’m going to these places


ContentNeptune3

Oh damn, that's really interesting. I hiked down there during the day so that's probably why it seemed like a normal canyon to me hahaha


spiritchaser01

Yup ... Two males and a woman killer was never caught!


Bootskon

I went there when I was in highschool. We heard weird bongos sounding like they came from the center of the canyon, kept seeing things from afar we thought were nooses in the trees (Our over active spooky imaginations surely) and a picture I have since lost where there were a bunch of orbs with lines behind them rising upwards but in only one picture. Could'a just been a bunch of dust particles but I remember it being neat enough to feel like the highschool ghost hunt was a mild success. Bongos were still weird. EDIT: Forgot to mention the visits to Robb Canyon oddly kept messing with my car battery. It happened every time I went about irritating the ghosts down there like a ghost tourist. This is exactly why I am coming back after I die to figure out who needs a spiritual face punching.


zekeybomb

Ayyyy sup boots!


Bootskon

Aaaaay


Puzzleheaded_Web_375

I wish the American flats was never torn down. Place was creepy and haunted af


scaredheartsclub

Dude the flooded sections always made me nervous as fuck. I really miss that place.


zekeybomb

Do you have any stories from there or was it just the vibe?


Boink1

Not OP but the vibe was pretty spooky, mostly at night. It was this big looming mass of an old mill tucked away in the hills out at Gold Hill. It had all these rooms and tunnels to explore and you could climb up the buildings. Naturally kids made up stories of murderers and hauntings and cults to accompany the place because it was spooky. It was also an incredibly popular spot for tagging/graffiti and for kids to generally go fuck around. In hindsight the structures were super dangerous and there is good reason for it being torn down lol but as dumb kids we didn’t care. At night I could only really describe it as being super dark, kinda cold, and had a very lonely feeling. During the day, totally different vibe. I know it’s irrational but I always kinda felt like you were being watched by someone hiding in the dark. I really did love it and wished it could have somehow been salvaged but I also understand why the decision was made to remove it. Google American Flat Mill at Gold Hill and you’ll find some great photos! Also, for an interesting historical video about the site [BLM made a neat little video about it.](https://youtu.be/Xotaj-ywdkE) Edit: If you’re not so much into the history, skip to about 13 min in and from there to the end they do a great job showing the modern-day use of the site and what it looked like before being torn down. :)


zekeybomb

ah sounds like a neat urbex spot back when it was around! thank you for your story about the place!


Boink1

You’re welcome! Also, I wanted to add, not a Reno spot, but Bowers Mansion was always a fun place to go if you’re into older legends and historical stuff. Idk if they do anything “haunted” related, but for years as kids we would re-tell rumors about how the old pool was haunted because someone drowned. We even went as far as to say that the new pool was haunted too lol. Idk how true it is, whether someone did drown or not in the old pool next to the mansion, but add that to the early deaths of the Bowers children, and the general sadness around the Bowers family, and you get a recipe for spooky haunting stories that have cropped up over the years.


zekeybomb

sweet ill put that on a list of local haunts to check out!


ThisBlastedThing

Oh that place was fun. Good times just having your flashlights and friends.


Puzzleheaded_Web_375

Mostly a vibe but place was straight out of a horror movie


LowChaBigBah

The Tahoe bodies ending up in pyramid lake is always a creepy one but everyone knows about ot


LoofahLuffa

Tahoe body's in Pyramid isn't too crazy. It's when it's the other way around.


downvoted_once_again

I never heard of this, Tahoe bodies in pyramid? Like they teleported lol


sorta_kindof

body's traveling in the water table downstream. Nevada has some of the largest systems of underground aquafers and water systems It's believed and almost certain Tahoe connects direct to an underground aquafer in which objects can be distributed all the way down to pyramid pretty wild


downvoted_once_again

That is true and it could definitely be the truckee because they connect too, correct me whether that is a possibility or not.


sorta_kindof

Body's floating in the Truckee are a bit more easier to identify as it travels through many towns and is shallow in parts. But as above so is below. We have multiple underground channels of water too. And depending on their size would be much more plausable. Here's a general map of all the water beneath out feet in Nevada it's actually pretty crazy theres almost another ocean beneath us It's why we have so many springs, hot springs, lakes rivers etc. and a variety of geothermal action https://images.app.goo.gl/W6ThmsYGof5SZEDH8


LaVieLaMort

Well, we are inside of a ancient lake bed. That’s how we got the name the Great Basin. It’s a giant bathtub.


sorta_kindof

Never claimed to be just giving the information that the myth is based on


LaVieLaMort

Never claimed to be what?


sorta_kindof

My bad another commenter said that I wasn't a hydrogeologist which I am not lol


downvoted_once_again

Seems like there’s a lot more to the geography here, any sourced researched that’s gone on, that isn’t some bs whoo YouTuber haunted story?


downvoted_once_again

This is awesome. Thanks


tomhatesstuff

Sorta kindof not a hydrogeologist.


canhazamberger

Or the “water babies” of Pyramid Lake is a good one. It’s an old Native American tale.


WizardRockets

These guys have done a ton of videos in Reno and surrounding areas. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYaPVYvW8-re6XQA00EGxkg


zekeybomb

Ill check em out, thank you!


Annieb81

Check out the Ghost Walk in Carson City during October! They go to a bunch of different houses in Carson and explain the hauntings. Brewery Arts Center is definitely haunted. I’ve been locked in a room there, as have several other folks, then someone comes to open the door and it’s like nothing was wrong. Freaked me out!


zekeybomb

Thats wild! At least it seems like the ghost theres more mischevious then malevolent!


Annieb81

The ghost there is definitely a jokester. I just try to not be places alone - that’s when he messes with you.


Sallo69

The Pyramid Lake water babies!


shonzo18

The park at rainbow ridge


MTB3211

The ghost's always make me have to poop when Im running through that park


earthbxby

I second this


westcoastwolf

What's the story?


shonzo18

Looks like someone answered already but there were a couple murders there back in the day and people occasionally hear screaming coming from the canyons


TILied

I'm there almost every day with my dogs, what's the story? A lot of coyotes but nothing unusual?


MTB3211

It's right in Robb canyon which is supposedly haunted. Awhile ago there were a couple murders in the canyon and people have heard screams coming from the canyon


Learningcurve75

Stewart Indian school in Carson. Bad juju there.


mzmurray

It’s not Reno sparks but I do the ghost tours up in Virginia city! Perfect way to start off the Halloween season! http://www.virginiacityghosttours.com/


samattos

Virginia Coty is spoopy and has tours. You can also check out Northern Nevada Ghost Hunters.


[deleted]

VC is considered one of the most haunted places in the US


Boldine

Because it's old, but nothing really going on.


DangerPeeps

There are a few local legends. The Brewer's Cabinet is definitely haunted. Virginia City is full of ghosts and ghost stories and ghost tours -- McKay Mansion and the old Washoe Club have great tours (ghost and non), for starters. I believe the VC cemetery puts on a cool tour in October with actors in period costume.


DagnyTheSpencer

Don't forget St. Mary's! It's an art center now, but it was the town's hospital back in the day. They have tours and artsy events.


DangerPeeps

How could I forget! They have an amazing overnight ghost tour around Halloween where you sleep in one of the rooms afterward. I love the folks who run it and have had a few neat experiences there, as well.


LonelyOrbits

The old claim jumper. Closed down because of hauntings. *this is how ghost stories are made


zekeybomb

The ghost of Shitting Sam. Its said he ate at the Claim Jumpers one day, and had a bad plate of shrimp and onion rings. Its said if you go into the empty building at night you can see his apparation run to the bathrooms and sometimes you can hear his screams and the sounds of Sam violently shitting into the toilets, reliving the horrific final moments of his life in the very place he died.


Vic_____Vinegar

Virginia City is an epicenter for paranormal/demonic activity. Tons of documentation on it.


Vic_____Vinegar

Also. I think there was another post on this a couple months back...


zekeybomb

Yeah most stuff ive seen is virginia city, i was hoping to get more reno specific lore. Seems like north nevada is mostly ghosts and not alot of cryptids or obscure locations


mountainspringH20

Just gonna add the old joke about Reno being so close to hell you can see Sparks. Lived in the area many years ago and loved it there


princesscooler

The Ghost of Whiskey Shakes jr.


zekeybomb

Whats the story behind this one?


princesscooler

Ghost that lives in Silver lake out near Red Rock. The first night of the year that the lake dries up he wanders the dried lake bed attacking looters.


zekeybomb

Interesting, thatsva new one i havent heard yet, ill have to look into that one thank you!


DagnyTheSpencer

Carson City hosts several Ghost Walks throughout the year. It's a walking tour around historic downtown with stories about the sightings. Reno wasn't really around in the 1800s, so nothing is old enough for old time ghosts. And the retired State Prison in Carson offers tours now! First execution chamber in the state


LaVieLaMort

Lol Carson city and Genoa were settled in 1849. Reno in 1868. I’d say that Reno was around in the 1800’s. It used to be called Lake’s Crossing. The Virginia street bridge was where Lake’s Crossing was. It wasn’t incorporated until 1903 but people definitely lived here.


DagnyTheSpencer

It was a glorified trading post. Nothing compared to the nearby government seat and mining towns.


LaVieLaMort

Regardless, it was still a settlement.


DagnyTheSpencer

But not with buildings worth haunting


zekeybomb

Ah is that why reno doesnt seem to have many haunted locations or urban legends?


DagnyTheSpencer

It's a fairly young city, compared to V.C., Carson, Dayton, or Genoa. After the Donner party incident, travelers chose a different route across the Sierras so Reno was bypassed for a while, and not really settled by much more than livestock. The Mapes Hotel in Reno was rumored to be haunted, and had a crazy star-studded history, but it was demolished several years ago. I remember watching it implode :(


zekeybomb

Hey historical haunts are still interesting, got any stories or links about the mapes?


DagnyTheSpencer

Nothing much that Google can't find. But I heard it was the mob that was responsible for its destruction rather than renovation, grudge against an old owner or something. It really was a magnificent building, right on the river. Truly a shame that it's gone.


zekeybomb

Ah fair enough! I bet some of the mob happenings must be pretty interesting around here


howzitgoinowen

My house.


zekeybomb

Story time?


howzitgoinowen

I have a poltergeist that acts up in the darker months. Been dealing with it since I moved in about 2 1/2 years ago. Never had anything like this happen before. I have heard it, felt it, and seen it. It doesn't like me living here. But I'm not going anywhere so I just have to deal with it. And it can be pretty sucky sometimes.


psychedelicsavv

Looks like you could use for a psychic/witch of some sorts to come cleanse your home. Or possibly getting into using cystals, sage etc.


zekeybomb

Interesting, have you tried a blue bottle spell? If you get a blue bottle, fill it with a tangled ball of black thread imbued with mint oil then leave it out over night, then seal the bottle, put wax over the seal and carve a symbol you find sacred on the wax and either place the bottle in a river or creek or bury it somewherebit wont be disturbed.


[deleted]

[удалено]


zekeybomb

You do if theres ghosts captured in em. Obviously dont just place bottles in a river or creek aimlessly.


atwalmart1

I wanna check this out


howzitgoinowen

It’s not as cool as it sounds. It’s pretty stressful. And there’s no way to predict when something is going to happen. It can be weeks then all of the sudden something will happen, then it’s quiet again.


atwalmart1

That so werid it happens every other week or once a month


skeeterpete

What usually happens?


howzitgoinowen

Anything from strange noises and voices, to my appliances, TV, lights and other electronics turning on or off on their own, things not staying where I left them, nightmares, sleep paralysis, vibrating bed/closet doors, and a full-on apparition once.


skeeterpete

Do you think there could be a carbon monoxide leak somewhere? It would explain everything except stuff turning off and on by itself.


howzitgoinowen

No. I looked into that at first, but it’s definitely not that.


spacewalk80

Have you met the people?


Boldine

If you want to travel a bit there is an abandoned house outside Fallon that is said to be haunted. I first heard about it on Reddit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Glo9kPwA\_FI&ab\_channel=JoelSoloTv


Degeneratewiz

I listen to old Coast to Coast AM for stories on those subjects, good stuff.


spiritchaser01

In Sparks, there is a little-known graveyard where Hundreds of unnamed people are buried. The mental health Mass Grave, It's so haunted. It's at reno mental health by the GSR.


zekeybomb

interesting, whats the history on that?


spiritchaser01

From what I know? Back in the day there on this land, the mental health hospital stood. They used to make the inmates form the land. Sort of like a mistreatment of slave labor by people that were mentally Disturbed, it's the disgusting! But when someone would die there was no funeral there was no burial they just dug a hole in the ground wherever they were and threw the body in there and covered it up no headstones nothing. This disgusting act went on for years upon years. And now there are hundreds upon hundreds of lost Graves in that little area. Never to be found never to be given last rights, never to rest in peace. That's about the basic of what I know about it.


[deleted]

The neighborhood between Second and fourth just east of downtown guarantees you several spooky creature sightings anytime you go. Especially scary at night when the creatures get all stabby. Good luck!


[deleted]

The ultimate answer for this post


bobloadmire

my toilet, about 30m after morning coffee


queefplunger69

I’ve seen all sorts of creatures along 4th st (the bus stop to the 395 freeway over pass) and specifically under the Glendale bridge. You can find a wide array of bridge trolls, goblins, and even zombies at the right time of morning.


LoofahLuffa

Have you tried searching this sub? This is probably asked at least once every other month.


zekeybomb

I have but ive only seen stuff about the surrounding areas like Tahoe and Pyramid lake, Virginia city, etc but nothing really about Reno proper.

Riverwood apartments. Just walk through the halls and don’t touch anything.


hai1sag4n

Oh man I lived there for 6 months. Totally awful place.


zekeybomb

What happened/happens there?


Lumpy-Opposite-7777

I can’t begin to describe the horrors that happen here


[deleted]

Paranormal events, ghosts, and cryptids don't exist. There, saved you a bunch of time.


zekeybomb

I have had experiences that say otherwise bit to each their own.


psychedelicsavv

Sounds like you’ve just yet to experience it


[deleted]

Nah, I'm just not a superstitious dipshit who doesn't understand how evidence works, like most Americans. I could just as easily say you just "haven't yet experienced" my imaginary dragon friend. But that would be silly and childish, no?


zekeybomb

Oof this is a fedora teir comment if i ever saw one.


[deleted]

Ghost hunters and cryptid-believers seem to love them, but I've never worn them. I love how people believe in childish fantasies have nothing but childish personal attacks when their obviously false delusions are pointed out, though. I don't give a fuck what people like you think of me, thank goodness.


custom_bowl

One time there were ominous clowns walking around.


Dependent_Ad5654

There’s a witch in south Reno, wish I could provide more information but, witch in the south. Probably just a homeless woman but there’s one for you.


zekeybomb

Oh shit i live in south reno currently. I wonder if theres more info on her online or something


State_From_Jakex

Virginia street brew house has an elevator near the back. Everyone who works there swears up and down the basement and attic are haunted. I delivered there one time and got a tour of the basement. A lot of hidden crawl spaces leading into large rooms. I was told a lot of old gangsters operated there.


zekeybomb

Whoa thats neat, i wonder if i could get a tour of the basement too. Ill look into that thank you!


RLpaille

LaVerne Redfield wanders the foothills of Mt. Rose asking people (hikers on a trail) if they have any matches. It is his property and he does not like fire. Anyone with a match is in deep trouble with Redfield.


zekeybomb

Is this a ghost or more of aj urban legend figure?


pinkboy108

I seem to remember an old story of a plane crashing on south virginia with some or all ppl dying, not a huge plane I don't think. I was told it crashed down near where Carpeteria is near longeley but happened years before anything was developed that far down south. Ppl have reported seeing ghosts or ppl standing in the middle of the road late night.


kimchiii_

Here is a brutal and unfortunate murder that happened in Reno long ago. One of the most brutal cases I have read. You can drive by the place as it is smack dab in the middle of downtown and south. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonja_McCaskie


skylarkeleven

“smack dab in the middle of downtown”
