hosts in Northern Nevada aren’t of the ghoulish campfire variety. Here, they tell stories of the past …
of the colorful characters of the Comstock era, when silver was king and Virginia City was the cultural

an extended stay. Whether it’s Lake Tahoe’s smoky showrooms that hosted characters like Frank Sinatra and
Marilyn Monroe during the golden age of casinos, or the pioneer families of rural settlements like Genoa,
the apparitions that appear to some today are a reminder of connection between history and place.
