Unlike any city in America, Virginia City epitomizes the notion of a western boom-and-bust ghost town. The Comstock Silver Rush lured wealth seekers from around the world, including a young Samuel Clemens. Despite the fortune some found, not all of the town's earliest settlers rest easy. Shops, hotels, boardwalks and cemeteries are said to be filled with the supernatural remnants of Virginia City's hardscrabble characters and their violent propensities. The queen of haunted Nevada, Janice Oberding, mines Virginia City's spectral history, from the ghost of Henry Comstock to the ghostly Rosie and William of the Gold Hill Hotel.

I term my books "Historic-Paranormal." There is extensive research involved for the history sections, and the paranormal segment information are from the findings Paranormal team I am part of - Thin Veil Investigators - discovered. Nevada Historical Society's Docent and Special Works/Projects Historian, and I are creating particular "Weird" volumes. "Weird 'Haunted' Virginia City" is NOT a cute ghost-story-telling book. This volume recites from extensive research into factual incidents, presenting some of the bazaar, strange and odd passing of personages, including cases of inhumane behaviors to fellow residents, as well as descriptions, reports and anecdotes of some of the major destruction that occurred during the city's "halcyon days." These pages offer the reader a compelling insight that may show a contributing relationship to the numerous spirit presences involving themselves in earthly matters throughout this very haunted location: Virginia City, Nevada.
