haunted places in nevada March 12, 2021 Kim Magaraci What are the creepiest cemeteries in Nevada? Two of Nevada’s creepiest graveyards are still standing to this day. The Bullfrog-Rhyolite Cemetery is an old ghost town burial ground, and stories of paranormal activity here make it a favorite spot for ghost hunters. While the town of Goldfield itself isn’t completely abandoned, it’s considered a “living ghost town”, and its creepy cemetery is a great place to visit if you love to linger with spirits. Are there any ghost towns in Nevada? There certainly are ghost towns in Nevada! If you’d like to visit a few of our most famous, take this eerie Ghost Town Road Trip through the Silver State. Aurora, Goldfield, Berlin, and Gold Point are a few of our favorites worth visiting. What haunted hiking trails can I take in Nevada? The creepiest haunted hike in Nevada has to be the hike from the Gold Hill Hotel to the abandoned Yellow Jacket Mine. The Mine was the site of the worst disaster in Nevada’s industrial history when 39 miners perished in a fire and tunnel collapse. Local fire brigades responded quickly to the fire, but water pressure issues meant the fire ranged on until it collapsed. It continued to burn for three weeks. You can hike around the area, and many people have seen orbs or experienced other paranormal activity here.
