54: After the gold rush, there was a silver rush in the 19th Century that came to define Virginia City, Nevada. And at the heart of VC is the Washoe Club, Nevada's oldest saloon. A place where millionaires (and Mark Twain) gathered to flaunt their wealth, sex workers of the time worked, and outlaws came to fight, the Washoe — and Virginia City as a whole — is teeming with spectral stories.

Because NightMerica is headed to Virginia City for Comstock Con on Oct 7-10, 2021 (Tix: www.vccomcon.weebly.com), Aaron is joined by author and historian Janice Oberding, who has written more than 30 books, including Haunted Virginia City. As well as walking us through the haunted history, she talks of California true crime as well.

And if you like weird history (and we know you do):
