In the heart of central Nevada are two great living ghost towns or as some call them semi ghost towns meaning some people do live here but their are parts of the town that today remain abandoned from back in its hey day. When you really think about it was towns like Belmont and Tonopah that paved the way for Nevada's future as the Silver State. Towns like Belmont were platted before Nevada even reached statehood while Tonopah its sister city came later it indeed contained some of the richest and deepest silver mines in the world!

When I moved out west my one goal was to visit towns like Belmont and Tonopah to absorb the history. You cannot possibly understand enough about ghost if you do not understand the history behind the haunt. Most places I go in the wild west whether its a mine, old mill or some saloon end up always turning out to have a ghost story or two. I love living here what more can I ask for but good adventure, scenery and wild western rich history? When you go out into the frontier you begin to understand why life was so harsh at locations such as these due to there desolation and other obstacles such as the elements.

I sometimes ask myself if 200 years from now if someone will visit the locations I once lived or made history at. I may not live on one day but I hope others will live on for me and continue to adventure like I have done for so many years. It was a hard weekend for me I was sick with a virus and to make matters worst that region was being blasted by snow the moment I pulled into Tonopah to prep for the Belmont trip hours into the early morning.

It would be one of the most major ghost town trips we have done because we wanted to start off 2016 on a really positive note and get some momentum going. It would be amazing journey one that would take allot of expenses, hotel cost, gas, research and adventuring. Its much harder to go out into the wilderness of Nevada versus the elements. When you drive down these old wagon and mining roads you are in the middle of vast expanses and peaks towering as high as 12k its not a joke. There may be no gas station for over 50 miles let alone the next town and generally the next town has very little services so at all cost you must go prepared or you just do not go at all!!

I spent the past few years dreaming of exploring Tonopah and Belmont it DOES NOT and WILL NOT ever get anymore wild west then this trust me. I would explore mines, mills, canyons, vast expanses, cabins, haunted hotels, creepy alleys, abandoned buildings, ruins and multiple cemeteries. There is nothing more fun then packing your ales, food, cooler, paranormal gear, telescope, bud, metal detector and all the extras then venturing off into the sunset. These locations are so desolate that literally its one of the best locations for looking at the Milky Way at night SERIOUSLY!

Also if you pay mind you will notice that I am starting to spend a couple days at some locations to film and photograph them. Its very costly for me to do the paranormal research I do. I always have to buy batteries, pay for meals, hotels, gas and supplies. The last few trips have cost me over a couple thousand dollars in hopes that we can do something good in the future with our finds by educating others as well as entertaining our members. But more importantly my goal is preserve such locations therefore every single one of them matters to PGS and me. So when I came home then a member donated 50 dollars towards are cause it brought tears to my eyes because I pay allot for our website along with traveling to these locations.

Some folks think what I do is some vacation and its not nobody wants to spend a day out in snow up to there waste freezing but I did it on this trip. To a degree that my toes nearly fell off all because I am truth seeking. I have no regrets I love what I do but I also want the public to know how hard it is we truly work at each location. We can go from sunup to sundown sometimes days on end really and this trip would not give us much room for fun nor luxury trust me on that. When you go into any region of Nevada you will feel small one can stand anywhere and see mountains sometimes for hundreds of miles.

One must understand that both towns were lawless in there day with murders, hangings, bank robberies as well as the good, the bad and the ugly! You had your saloons, miners working the mines night and day. You also had your cat houses or bordellos where you could drink at the saloon then find a girl to your liking. The towns were wild as epidemics broke out, diseases, tragic accidents such as the fire which took the lives of 17 men in a mine up in Tonopah. Life was harsh for its pioneers with massive snow storms, fires, floods, accidents on the railroad etc etc and the cemeteries are a tall tale sign of this believe me.

I would have the luxury of exploring an old air base and even visiting the house of one of Nevada's Governor which was far from luxurious. It is almost hard to believe that some folks lasted as long as they did in one of America's truly last frontiers. Personally I live it I am a lucky guy because I get to experience allot of what our earliest emigrants had gotten to experience in the US back in the mid 1800's. I get to see the wild horses, stars at night, drink ales at an old saloon and conquer the land. Although their will always be haters who do not like me nobody can ever take away the hard work we do because I am always on the scene giving it my all no matter how I feel or how uphill the battle is ahead of us.

I have a long list of places I want to investigate on my bucket list and so I saved these sister ghost towns for starting 2016 off. I am so busy with so many locations that are on our agenda its hard to do everything I want to do. I had a picking of eight locations and thought that the Belmont/Tonopah trip would excite our viewers because of the remoteness and all the great sites they contain which are definitely worthy of our site for years to come no doubt!  Both towns are separated by 45 miles they are not next door to one another. But many of the same residents that lived in Belmont eventually moved onto Tonopah during its hey day including some very prominent individuals.

When you visit such ghost towns you get a look inside at the lives of these people and again someday someone might to visit the places I lived to do the same who knows! We often as humans are so wrapped up on social media or games or our own lives that we never really pay attention to those who paved the way to the future. Most folks probably never heard of these locations then again if you have not will make them known to the world. One of the most fascinating interest I have in a ghost town is trying to figure out how a town of per say 25k people one day ends up either being abandoned or shortened down to just a few residents. One thing I learned from talking with others in the area is that the reason why Belmont and Tonopah are as preserved as they are is because their has always been someone to watch over these locations. Today so many ghost towns disappear because of vandals or thieves who might steel the bricks from these sites for there own use which is pitiful and also illegal!

The one thing I love about Nevada in the winter is that the mountains look very beautiful covered in snow and it does not matter where you journey too here its all scenic. There is no skyscrapers or factories or urban life all that you will ever see at such locations is the vastness of the mountains. The terrain varies in this region one minute your in a high desert the next your off roading in the Toiyabe National Forest. Its not uncommon to see mills in the middle of nowhere or mines up on the side of a mountain. Sometimes when I am exploring I find something perhaps someone else missed or that has been forgotten. That is what it means to be an explorer. I never know when I come out this way what I might see considering Area 51 or rather Groom Lake is not far from here. The region is plagued with UFO sightings, tales of flying creatures and ghost stories of the wild western frontier. Every location has a tale some more tragic then others but no less a paranormal investigators dream!

I was excited about this trip imagine the fact that I could not sleep but no less spent the night prepping the gear. I booked a hotel room at the Jim Butler Hotel which prior to this it was a movie theater and yes it has a ghost story even. Jim Butler was a prospector and rancher in the Belmont area eventually during one of this travels his mule I believe wandered off and he had gotten piss throwing a piece of ore at it. The ore turned out to be of high grade and Jim along with his wife beginning staking new claims thus Tonopah was born. Therefore allot of things named after him in the area are not uncommon including an ale in the brewery. The Jim Butler Hotel is also next to one of the most haunted of hotels known as the Mizpah which I had the honor of also visiting on this trip.

I left Friday early enough my plans were to spend my first night in Tonopah chilling then split Saturday up between Belmont and Tonopah. Then spend all of Sunday in Tonopah to wrap up our research and paranormal adventuring. Its quite amazing because the last time I was near here was when we did this eerie ghost town called Soda Springs and The Luning Mill. This is an area that I am starting to work more with and believe it or not I have three more ghost towns will be adventuring at near Tonopah and Belmont that are fairly extensive. If I had the time and funding to do more I would believe me I know of a very remote creepy ghost town that you park at the mouth of the canyon hike up into it and its built along the canyons walls and has a really large mine. So will be bringing it to our fans and members so when you look at these locations they really set the tone for many future expeditions in this region of Nevada.The places ill keep bringing you will have history, adventure, mystery, lore and scenic!!!

I arrived in Tonopah just after sundown I relished the sunset over the mountains as I journeys towards the heart of Nevada. There is no place in this state you will not see mountains I can assure you the peaks seem to go on forever. I generally enjoy Nevada in the winter time generally its warmer and there is less snow then the Sierras or Cascade Mountain range that runs through Ca and Western Nevada. Allot of times the valleys lack snow and most of it sticks to the mountains therefore visiting these ghost towns gives you a general idea of how winter may have been some years if you lived at these locations. Then again when we braved the snow we then understand how hard life must had been at such locations when you did not have snowplows or a means to journey through it to get the supplies you needed.

Therefore we must be thankful for what we have in the wild west there are not always amenities and exploring this frontier is not for everyone unless you know what your doing. Arriving at the hotel was great we unloaded some of our things then went out to Cisco's Pizza and ill admit they were costly. But the pizza was very large and full of toppings with allot of cheese. That really hit the spot because I knew just in a matter of hours id be driving up to Belmont to the point of no return. I always feel its very important to eat and drink well before a big investigation as you never know it might be your last. People vanish all the time in Nevada without a trace and being that I try to find unknown caves who knows I might be monster fodder some day right?

The pizza was good id give it a four out of five stars mine had mushrooms, peppers, bacon, black olives, pepperoni and salami it was awesome and thick. I felt that the girl at the register was a bit unfriendly and trust me during my travels I purposely eat at all sorts of restaurants to review the food. The food was great but overly priced and well next time ill go to pizza hut so I can get more for what I am pay for. I paid about 23 dollars for a 16" and although I do not mind paying I do think there needs to be better specials or some deals for perhaps a family that is on the road passing through town. It is great for the local kids though there was about 12 of them hanging out I can only imagine if you were a kid in Tonopah all you would have to do is either play outside or hang with your friends at the local pizza parlor lol.

It was cold out I found out that prior to checking into our room Tonopah had gotten a snowstorm the lady said it was blizzarding before we arrived and I was a bit worried. Because if Tonopah gets snow and resides at around 6k what would Belmont look like being at an elevation of over 7k? It was a cold night when we arrived at the hotel and there was about 6" of snow on the ground. After I ate my pizza at the room I wanted to put on the news. Well you guessed it folks none of the stations were coming in clear the television was full of lines and we had hardly gotten any stations. The heater in the room was not working the way it was suppose to either like it was broke and not blowing enough hot air. There was a lady working at the front desk who was glued to the television so when Tammy arrived she was a bit rude to her almost like us checking in was to much hassle for her that is just the impression I had gotten. Nobody was hardly staying at the Jim Butler and they also said we would get a breakfast buffet which turned out to be a small 3' table with coffee and doughnuts on it so I just figured id skip that part lol.

The hotel provides each room with a portfolio which includes Belmont and other historic sites in the region. I spent a little bit of time going through it to read about the history, legends, lore and viewed the old time photos in relation to Tonopahs early years. Their was also information about Belmont and other gems in the region including petroglyphs. Keep in mind everyone this is Shoshone Country the tribe has been in these parts for over 10 thousand years!! Its some of the most remote but scenic areas in Nevada definitely beautiful country. The portfolio provided me with so many things that you just cannot find here online so I will give the Jim Butler some kudos for providing its guests with this great information. Another ghost town it talked about is Manhattan which eventually id like to get out to in the future. There are other ghost towns around here most are perhaps in better shape in central Nevada because they are so hard to get to at times.

After dinner and doing some research I stepped out into the night and did a little night drive through Tonopah. I just wanted to drive down the dark streets and see if there was anything we could check out during the weekend. I did find a couple abandoned old miner cabins but most of Tonopah downtown is either boarded up or open for business. Their is not to many abandoned sites unless you visit the mines, mills and check out some of the miner cabins found through the town. You might have a miner cabin next to a saloon and next to that might be a boarded up building. Near my hotel was this old shop and multiple story hotel which had boards on it. Some buildings have not changed for over a 100 years downtown still looks the same and head frames litter the hillsides were mining once transpired. I was photographing the haunted Mizpah at night when some drunk dude decided to pull it out and pee right in front of me while I was doing my work. What a great way to start off my ghost towning here with somebody pecker bombing me!

I pulled down this road pulled out a joint smoked one under the stars I never felt so alive in my life because out here you can see the Milky Way and stars that cannot be seen anywhere else on earth. The skies above Tonopah are very strange to say the least its not hard to see a UFO jet across the sky if you are looking for it. I have to also say downtown Tonopah at night is creepy the alleys and streets are very dark. You have all sorts of old buildings some made of brick others of wood or stone scattered among active businesses and residents throughout the hillsides with mines in these peoples backyards. Some of the worlds deepest mines reside here in Tonopah and today some of those miners that died in them still haunt there tunnels and the properties nearby. Before id head back to the hotel for some rest I did stop at the Clown Motel which you have to go here if you want to visit the two cemeteries next to it. I did pay a visit to the hotel seen this creepy Ronald McDonald life sized prop looking through the windows at me as I stood at the gates to the cemetery boy that was enough fun for one evening for sure LMAO!!! I was only a few hours away from heading out on the road to Belmont and called it a night.


Belmont Nevada
(Transylvania)


I had gotten up really early it was still dark out which is not uncommon for me to do when traveling to these remote locations. I might drive into the night as the sun is coming up but one thing is for sure I like to get an early start so that I can explore as much as I can. I have no issue being out during the day or night but with scenic ghost towns like Belmont you really want those day shots so you can show everyone how remote and scenic a location like this truly is. I made sure that I had fueled on up because again I was heading off into Shoshone Country through a vast expanse one surrounded by the Toquima and Monitor Mountains. Trust me once you enter between both ranges in this vast expanse you begin to realize that there is nothing out here really and that back in the day it must had been hell to pay for your average pioneer who came through here via horse and wagon. Also back in the day it was not known very much as Belmont folks called it Transylvania along with a few other names just something to keep in mind because they were trying to back in the day make this town sound more appealing!

Things were not looking good from the get go as soon as I turned off to the north and begin to journey north between the two mountain ranges within minutes I was driving in a snowstorm. How many people go exploring ghost towns in a snow storm think about it? For me it was to late to turn back I was on the road to Belmont following the old wagon road which connected also Tonopah Nevada. The last time I was out exploring this region was last April when I visited a place called Toquima Cave which is full of ancient rock paintings and petroglyphs. I came within a few miles of Belmont but unfortunately had to turn back last year ago because we had to get home and simply did not have time to visit here. So to have a second run at this location when the day was early and I had done allot of research on this location there was no giving up but rather to push on hoping the weather would clear.

Although first light came through it was very overcast and gloomy out as there would be areas along the road id hit patches of snowfall others just flurries. I could see the peaks to my left and my right from both mountain ranges. Many of the peaks were behind snow clouds and you could see it was clearly snowing hardcore on the sides of the mountains that surrounded me. The snow looked very fresh however I also noticed that the deeper I went into Shoshone country the worst the snow had gotten. The road to Belmont heading north was in good shape though its paved that is why they have each year a biker festival here because it is fairly accessible but no less its remote. If you break down on this road or get stuck in a storm there may not be any help for a long time especially in the middle of January.

 I was on a road that went a 100 miles by the time I reached Belmont I had nearly done the entire trek from Tonopah to Austin Nevada but my first time I did not have an opportunity to explore this location. Last year in April we stayed in Austin and let me add that semi ghost town has some of the finest churches ever to be built in the wild west however in reference to Belmont its known for its greatest landmark which is the haunted courthouse. So this is an area I have adventured at and it never disappoints. Their are ghost towns, mining camps, stage stations, abandoned ranches, ancient sites and geological wonders EVERYWHERE! By the time I reached Belmont it was still snowing but the storm tapered off. Mountains were surrounded with snow clouds and we were not sure if the weather would worsen but at least agreed that we would do as much as we could even if its snowing. Now if the visibility becomes zero to none we may have had a problem because for safety you have to be able to see there are mines and dangers everywhere at most of these abandoned boom towns.

I parked on the road which btw surprisingly was freshly plowed and only had about an inch of snow. However once you are on Main Street in Belmont there are roads that branch off to the left and the right. Now those roads were buried under snow which meant if we wanted to visit various haunted sites within the town we would have to push through heavy snow. We grabbed our packs and made sure we bundled up then we hiked out to the cemetery. Tammy had to turn around she was having issues struggling to push through the snow and told me she is slowing us down. So she went back to warm in up in the vehicle meanwhile I kept pushing on. It was not easy there are some drifts that can easily go up to your waste even for a guy my height plus it was still mildly snowing.

I could see about a quarter of a mile the cemetery off in the distance down this hill at the base of this peak with these massive snowy cliffs it was beautiful. Jarrod was with me and we decided if we kept taking the road it would take us twice as long rather then just cutting down the hill to the cemetery. The problem is ranchers today have kind of bought up Belmont property so there are areas that are fenced off with barb wiring and yes we had to go through it. I am not sure how many times during my years of journeying I have had to hop or crawl through barbed wire. Its like the Marines its not just a job but an adventure LMAO! No less we do what we have to do we came to far our legs felt like lead and we were hiking through high snow. I could not feel my toes at times snow was getting in our shoes I had to bust out plastic bags to tie around my feet to warm my left toes up. I was pretty sick breathing was difficult for me this virus was very hard on my lungs and the intense cold was not helping the situation so even breathing was a huge task as well as pacing myself.

When Jarrod and I were hiking towards the cemetery it begins to get more woodsy as some of you are aware Belmont may be up in the high desert but it also sits in the national forest so there are woods that surround most of the town site in that area. I found a series of large tracks the strides were always the same one foot out in the other with a 6' stride which meant whatever had made them probably was 12' in height. I know weird right?  There are bigfoot or giant creatures that live in the most remote parts of Nevada or at least the natives told tales about them. I tried to create a similar track next to the tracks we found and although I left quite an impression in the snow whatever made this had a foot twice my size and large stride. I cant say what it was I thought perhaps a rabbit since at times the tracks almost faded as it went under each tree but with as deep as the snow is and that large stride I have to at least question that what we might be seeing were tracks of a wild man that might roam the highest mountains of central Nevada.

When we arrived at the cemetery I was relieved they had a bench you could sit on and relax it was more like a park here then a graveyard. The cemetery sits beyond the rural outskirts of Belmont and downtown. When you are here you cant really see much of Belmont but a wooden water tower and a few homes up on the hill on the other side of the valley. There was allot of trees and what I noticed is that wherever the trees were the snow was not as deep under them therefore I tried to stick to the trees to move around the graveyard a little easier and keep my foot out of the intense cold. Despite trying to do this I was not having luck because the gravesites are very spread out and in order to see them you have to trek from one part to the next.

Most of the graves we found were half under snow not all but for example wood crosses were barely peeking out of the ground. Stones near trees were almost fully exposed while other stones were covered. There are a few wrought iron and wood enclosures here something you typically see in a wild western cemetery. The front and back entrance both have a giant wood gate which says above it Belmont Cemetery. Many of the wooden enclosures look newer I believe their are signs some restoration has taken place while other wood enclosures are starting to fall apart or the gates are all broken on them. I seen a few wrought iron enclosures the snow just resting on its bars and ornate work it was very beautiful especially with the older engraved stones.

There is a separate section to the cemetery but there was only a couple graves there and they appeared to be newer. My guess would be is that a separate cemetery was erected for newer interments since in the older section of the cemetery many graves are just simply not marked. Some of the people buried here were hung in Belmont while two men were illegally lynched and murdered by a mob of people. Their bodies were brought also here for burial. Many of the pioneers found here were children who faced epidemics passing away from illness while others were men who may have died in one of the local mines not to far from there grave found here. Their is also a famous gravesite of a man who lived here who went by the name of John Longstreet but people called him Jack. Every gravesite tells a tale about those who braved Belmont back in the day which not only had some of the worst storms in Nevada but at times was lawless and had its fair share of misfortunes despite how rich the mines were.

I have a list of those buried here and its quite scary when you read how many of these people died. For example there was a suicide, accidental gun shot wound and a few murder victims. While some had fallen to illness others may have had a terrible accident. I also read there are Chinese graves here towards the back of the cemetery and its possible since they were often segregated or given an unmarked burial. I cannot prove it but I have read from multiple people who visited here about there being a bunch of unmarked China men bordering the town cemetery. I also am aware of another cemetery its called the Anderson Shoshone Cemetery which is a couple miles away but in the winter its completely under snow so I could not find nor visit it.

I did take my binoculars and found two very strange openings up in the cliffs to the Monitor Range which nestles up to the back of the cemetery. I enjoy finding caves that never been explored of course given Belmont's reputation more then likely they may have already been explored. Sometimes something may look like a cave then when you get up to it its just a small coyote den or outcrop. One of the entrances was a giant crevice the other looked like a 7' cavern entrance. Being that there was to much ice and snow I was not going to chance climbing the cliff behind the cemetery to check it out. Although I am considering next time I am here when there is no snow taking a closer look and doing some rock climbing. You never know such caves may have been hermit dens back in the day or used for shelter by the Shoshone. Then again I might be entering the lions den or the lair of some hungry wild man bigfoot like creature who knows right?

The cemetery was worth a visit I did take readings and I did take some EVPs although readings were mild I think its possible that their is some energy here or residue of the past. I heard the cemetery is haunted but more or less I think I was just focusing on trying to bring circulation back to my foot which went numb. I have waterproof boots I brought but left them at the vehicle because I was so excited to explore. Jarrod and I we did really extensive work at the cemetery trying to read various stones then we had to make the trek across this hillside and expanse to get back to the road we were parked on. Those tracks we found kept weaving around trees and sometimes would cross some of the old wagon roads then go back into the woods it was just strange as if something was trying to be evasive. Since the snow was fresh the tracks were made probably an hour or two before we had arrived and at that time it was still dusk!

Eventually we would make it back to the vehicle where I had a drink and snack of course since we had to find an alternative route we once again had to make our way through barbed wire to get to salvation. I also smoked a bowl on the road leaned back against the vehicle and was just happy to have my feet out of deep snow. I mean when your trucking through the cemetery its easy to fall down in the snow or have your feet under snow for long amounts of time. At least on the road the snow was minimal and I finally was able to rest my legs. Ill tell you what hiking through that reminds me of back when we use to adventure up in Buffalo. I use to hike in cemeteries all the time and to old abandoned buildings in NY through snow past my waste. You have to work three times as hard to get where you got to go and that is if you do not freeze to death doing it. Winter hiking is fun and its beautiful but it will challenge you in every way. Being I run a para adventure group we are an all weather team therefore we never say die or that we cant we just do it! Sometimes its a good feeling to hike for miles get dirty or clothes ripped only to by the end of the day find something paranormal worth sharing because what that means to me is that I worked to conclude my research and therefore its a small sacrifice to pay for the price of the truth!

I did walk down the road a little bit to film and photograph the Belmont-Monitor Mill which today its smelter stack still stands right before you enter downtown Belmont. The mill was a few hundred feet away and some rancher owned this acre or two surrounded by fencing. Behind the small ranch is the mill off in the distance and you can see most of it just from the road. If you wanted to get to it there is a road you can drive to but the road was under deep snow and I just about had enough of it for a little bit anyway's. I ran into another ghost town explorer he was older probably 60's with his wife tried to take his jeep down the road and the first 3' was stuck in the white stuff. I could not tow him out I did not have my truck with me at the time so a local helped get him out of this root. The other thing is this mill your really not allowed to visit you have to understand that most of the sites in Belmont are now on private property since a few residents have bought up the land building newer homes here therefore many of the sites are now on peoples front lawns or in there backyards.

Before you enter downtown there is this windmill and as you come around the bend you can see the old brick courthouse with the cupola on top of it. The courthouse is one of the finest in the wild west I assure you of this. Belmont is known for its haunted courthouse so for me to just visit the site is really a treat being that we do so much research into haunting's and ghosts. Its not an easy structure to miss as it resides in the heart of downtown and it two stories tall. Men were lynched not far from here while others spent there days in the jail which resided behind the old courthouse. Belmont is one of the most beautiful ghost towns in the state of Nevada and its also said its one of the most photographed. So for me to come here during the winter is a rare treat and its not something everyone is willing to brave. I mean truthfully you would not want to get stuck anywhere near the town in a winter storm so one can imagine what the locals would have to endure traversing this expanse.

The town is very gorgeous it has views of Monitor Valley below and both mountain ranges. The town itself sits in this bowl surrounded by hills and canyons. There is national forest that surrounds it while off in the distance you can see the desert and if you look for a hundred miles to the south one can see a vast sandy desert afar. There is also this area before you enter town with a series of majestic peaks and below that are these beautiful red rocky formations and cliffs. I have to say Belmont is very picturesque the views here do not get old and the snow on the peaks just adds charisma to the town site itself.

I parked downtown next to a dance hall and saloon ruins of a place known as the Cosmopolitan. Today next to it is another saloon its called Dirty Dicks which appears to be its replacement since its practically next door to the heap of debris.  But back in the day the Cosmopolitan was used as a hotel, store, post office, bar, meeting hall and even a restaurant. Downtown is rather extensive as you have about six series of ruins some made of stone others made of brick while the wood roofs and support beams are just piled within them from the elements. Behind downtown are also more ruins mainly just walls and foundations. But back in the day these places were stores, saloons and businesses. There are two to three saloons today in Belmont that are open certain times of year but when we arrived it was closed so I would not be drinking the ale good thing I brought my own lol.

I started off at the old bank which is just today a series of brick ruins but back in the day when the basement was used as a jail prior to the courthouse being built two men were murdered here and illegally lynched. I did notice some EMF spikes and fluctuation near the old bank ruins no less whether its haunted or not it has a grim past lets just agree on that! If you continue to walk down Main Street there are ruins on both sides but if you cut down one of the city streets to your left there is an area with all sorts of remnants of the past. I seen an old tiller, fire truck, mining machinery, ore carts and wagons. I know my friends love the old rusty stuff so I photographed it all for our website and for others to enjoy these relics which still remain in tact today from the towns hey day.

If you go past the hillside of relics there is an old stone inn its one of the most beautiful buildings in Belmont and is completely original. Today it was an inn but back in the day it was the home and offices for the superintendent of the Combination Mining Company. This company extracted and processed millions of dollars in silver during the towns boom years. Today if you volunteer at the inn you get access to the inside of the courthouse and I do plan on doing some restoration work here so that I can physically can investigate this building along with the courthouse which resides below it. The Inn was closed so I could not talk to the owner but its a wholesome place with a stack of firewood on the porch and barns behind it. The stone work around the old inn is done by hand and its a rather extensive building which has two stories but also continues to extend out in a couple different directions if you walk behind this place.

Also I drove up on the hill above town there before I started hiking around there is this replica church that was built. Its not the original but it looks like it is however if you drive up near the church you can physically stand above all of Belmont looking down at the town. This is a good way to see what wall remains standing today and what is left of the town itself. From downtown and the hill you can see the ruins of the old schoolhouse. Today only a couple stone walls stand while the courthouse is visible whether you are below or above it! Behind Main Street but yet below the church is also a series of walls and stone ruins. Those were probably businesses afterall back in the day downtown would have consisted of an assay, post and telegraph office. Their would also be saloons, stores, hotels, boarding houses, black smith shop and some restaurants.

I had some issues trying to get up the hill and to the church although I did finally make it I would definitely not go further. Beyond the church are the ruins of the old Combination and Belmont Flotation Mill. The ruins are rather extensive and one of the finest smelter stacks resides at the old flotation mill that still stand today. However when you get to the top of the hill you see another vast expanse and steep descent that goes into it leaving the Monitor Mountain Range. Trust me if I would have gone down the road I am afraid I would not have been able to get back into Belmont as steep and icy as the road was. So I never had gotten to see the Combination or Belmont Flotation Mills. But they do reside above Belmont just over the range a little and perhaps when there is less snow ill be able to access them better.

There was something strange that did happen to me while in Belmont as I was hiking from the cemetery back to the vehicle I looked up to see ruins of the Flotation Mill on a hillside. What was eerie about this is that I seen the walls, archways and brick. I told my son hey do you see that and told him lets try to drive closer to it then will hike up to those ruins. When I came back with the vehicle to find them I could not see them nor did they exist where I seen them on the hillside it weirded me out allot I was not seeing stuff. I had gotten a map of the town at the courthouse but also printed one from google and both of them listed it being near the church not near the cemetery therefore what did I see? Was it a mirage? Phantom ruins? Was I seeing something not there or looking through some portal? If anybody and I mean anybody has ever been to Belmont and see these phantom ruins please let me know I just want to know and compare stories.

Trampling around Belmont was fun if you visit the in and cut to the left there is this road that takes you up this hill where you will pass a couple old wood and stone structures. One of the structures is the old Belmont Courier Newspaper which today is known as the Indian Maggie's Saloon . Next to it was an old horse buggy with all sorts of old and new bottles of liquor on the back side of it. Further up the hill is a three bedroom house which belonged to Governor Tasker Oddie who also was a prospector and took an interest in the rich silver mines in the area. His home had a work shop with additional rooms built on the house. As a matter in fact the house was built out of native stone, wood and bricks fired up right on site. The clay was very rich here and with a fresh supply of spring water all the bricks were made on site to construct many structures found in Belmont today including the mills and the courthouse.

My son had gotten this new jacket its kind of a very slippery material so he was sledding on his chest down the hillside near the old Newspaper and Tasker Oddie Home. It was good seeing him running around playing in the snow. These kids nowadays are stuck with their social media, tablets and phones. I like mine to get away from the technology and get outdoors enjoying what life has to offer them. Of course my son decided to nail me with some snowballs when I was busy filming and at one time he dropped an ice block on my foot which he may have thought it was funny but I told him if you injure me you will be camping in the snow in Belmont lol smooth move!!!

At the top of the hill you can see a canyon which btw was used as a hidden wagon route not to far from there is the Esser House which I believe was near a ranch. I did not bother to visit the Esser House then again not sure if I found it or it was just another set of unmarked ruins. Despite the fact that some ruins are labeled not all of them are in town some are listed as unknown. So all I could do is my best to visit all the main sites and film a brief history about it. But I am sure I did not see everything there was allot of snow some roads were inaccessible while other ruins were buried. No less I took my time exploring each site found an old wooden water tank and seen a ranch on the backside that had mules grazing within. Although its a ghost town some folks still live here I seen a family leave there home with a kid just to drive downtown then they went back home a few minutes later. Its very quiet you wont see many people drive through town I seen a guy and his dog pass through town probably offroading in his jeep. There is just miles of roads all around Belmont and the views are golden no matter where you go.

Jarrod and I once again hiked through snow on the backside of the old inn where we found a series of large stone ruins not sure what they were but there were a few structures which probably were saloons or mining admin offices or perhaps hotels. This was a big town but its been left in ruins today and not allot is known about all the sites or what was there. Jarrod and I found an old cabin with some fencing around it. The cabin had a couple rooms there was an old stove and fridge inside. Behind the cabin was a beautiful wall perhaps built into the side of the hillside to prevent it from erosion or collapse. This wall had this archway made out of stone built into it lets just say the stonework was a Masonic wonder. There was also a room built into the hill probably used during the summer to keep meat and other items from spoiling. The stone work behind the old Combination/Inn building is amazing all the way from the walls to some of the foundations back here. Not everyone that hikes around here gets to see what is back here but it appears that whoever lived in the cabin may have had some mules or horses grazing at one time on there property. If you pay really close attention there are also wagon wheels and other pieces of rusty machinery just scattered along the old roads and hillsides.

Next to the inn on the side street with the big old barn and workshop there is a place known as the Doctors House. Its just this wild western looking wood building where the town Dr lived and he was also a senator as well. Dr James Riddle lived here and perhaps used the home as an office. Its a decent sized wood structure and its all boarded up. It sits not to far from a newly built home which sits on this stone wall original to the town. There is just allot of little things found in Belmont but you have to explore on foot and you have to pay attention because what does remain is original to the town and may be locations that well known prominent residents once resided or worked out of at. Belmont had not only a governor that resided here but also a Senator and a famous gunslinger. The man that ranched and prospected in Belmont discovered one of the richest silver mining towns in the world known as Tonopah so when these residents in Belmont got word of it they moved there thus having multiple residents in the region.

After we walked back through downtown a second time we decided to veer off towards the courthouse by this time however there was a group of three people who parked in front of it and went inside. I thought that was a bit rude and ill explain as to why. This courthouse is one of the most photographed in the state of Nevada its a historic landmark. People from all over the state drive up here just to photograph especially on a snowy weekend such as it was and here they park this big GMC right in front of the doors. Lucky for me I photographed it from the top of the hill minutes prior to them showing on up but still there is other places to park just use common sense and be respectful towards other photographers. Nobody wants to photograph a historic site with a pick up blocking the way or photo bombing it!

Before you get to the courthouse there are two to three homes all abandoned behind some wood fencing and barbed wire. The homes are surrounded by brush and are very shady under some of Belmont's largest trees. At one time this part of town had fruit trees and groves as they had grown various crops in town to feed the miners. The fruit trees are gone well except for maybe a few but at one time corn, wheat, peaches, apples and quite a few other crops were grown here. The homes were very creepy I did not go in only because everything in Belmont is really fragile so walking through or on these sites could damage them period. The one home called the Ernst House was lived in by a man who helped survey the plans for the construction of the Sutro Tunnel in Virginia City. Next to it was the Leon House of a fairly well to do miner who was married to his wife for 50 years and both of them passed away eventually which led to the deed of the home going to new owners.

I finally reached the grand finale which was the courthouse standing in front of the two stories. I thought the lady walking back from the outhouse was my son so I said hey its you she looked confused. You have other paranormal groups who sometimes do restoration work here or investigate the courthouse. Over the years the Friends Of Belmont Courthouse have been trying to restore it to its former glory. I seen pictures back in the day when it had windows broke and walls down it was in peril but at least now the building has new roofing, windows and its entirely shielded from the elements except for the back entrance where the jail use to be. We had to be very careful there was chunks of ice and snow falling off the roof. A huge piece of ice fell onto the persons pick up who was parked there I seen the lady on the second floor look down at me giving me a dirty look as if I caused it. I guess if you have long hair and black nails they automatically assume your the devil causing chaos or the end of the world!

On the back side of the courthouse the snow was kind of heavy but I did make my way down to a couple of old jail cells with huge iron doors. This was a mobile iron jail anotherwards it could be moved to where it had to go whether it was inside the back of the courthouse or outdoors behind it. One of the cells was rather small looked more like solitary confinement while the other cell next to it was larger but appeared to perhaps sleep as many as six to eight as there were metal bunk beds built big enough for someone a foot taller then me. I guess back then the men were not as tall as they are today but in todays times most men who would end up in the drunk tank probably had his legs hanging over the edge. I know during WWI and WWII they used the cells as drunk tanks for the men who maybe had gotten a bit drunk and rowdy at the local saloons.

Behind the court house is a series of two walls that protrude out from the back however the roof and the one wall is missing. The one wall had a window with bars we have to assume this was the jail and that these iron cells just behind it may have at one time resided inside the building. Either that or these were temporary cells placed outside during the warmer months. Nobody really knows for sure I heard that the jail cells were moved to Gabbs but was so surprised to see some here in Belmont. Because from what I read everyone said there are no more jail cells well I put that to rest as if you do go on the back side there are two iron cells and yes the doors still work on them because I tried despite the snowdrift in front of them lol.Like I do with all my ghostbusting I took readings and EVP inside the jail cells also as most of you know I am thorough so it was worth climbing down a steep bank of snow to go in them.

The courthouse is amazing but there is nothing inside just empty rooms. There are no drapes or desk or seats like you would find in a courtroom. Its merely a shell but I hope one day they make it into a museum I mean it still has the original wood floors and these big tall glass windows in the front. Back in the day many of the counties government meetings took place here just as much as murder trials to the towns sheriff working out of this place. Its historic in every way and I heard good things about the ghost that haunt this location. I plan on trying to get our group in here with permission since id like to see the inside to the courthouse. I know that during events it is open but other then that you have to help out at the inn to get in this location. The people that were there probably were working on the courthouse inside I am sure that now that the outside has been renovated they are getting ready to restore the rooms within. I read a story that some caretakers have had to chase out vandals including one time Charles Mansion and his supposed family who were writing there names on the wall of the courthouse something common they did at many of the ghost towns I currently explore today.

I left town with a really great feeling I stopped at another foundation on the way out of town and the windmill. The man who was stuck was later dining that night at the Mizpah Hotel 50 miles a way which tells you how so very few people are out in this frontier. There really is not any gas or food for miles so explorers like me generally eat dinner in Tonopah then go to places like Belmont and Manhattan Nevada. Surprisingly some blue skies were coming out I was not sure because we had some massive snow clouds that were constantly coming into Belmont the entire time I was there but as I called it as the day went on it became allot nicer. It actually was nice enough that allot of the snow melted on the road heading out of town which was my route south back into the Tonopah area. It was turning out to be a nice day but our morning was very rough. We had to dry off our shoes and socks luckily for me I bring extra clothes and supplies for situations like this.


When I left Belmont I smoked a joint had eaten lunch and enjoyed a cigar while driving in between the mountain ranges. Since most of the storm clouds disappeared I could not see beautiful snowy peaks and it was very scenic out here. I was driving 80 mph through the desert seat back and chilling. Everyone else was asleep but I knew I had just finished braving the frontier one that killed so many in this region back in the day. I did not investigate just ghosts but I investigated history and I lived it just as the early pioneers would have had to also if they needed to get supplies at the stores or get up to the mills to process the silver. I have nothing but respect for the early residents of Belmont a mining camp that grew into a town in 1860 and never died. It does not get any more wild western then this and I cant wait to go back. I plan on staying at the haunted inn I have friends who had some pretty wicked ghost experiences and do up the courthouse more in depth. I also next time will visit the mills up close since they were not accessible at the time I was here. Its very vast out here anything could be out here the one thing I did not see are however mines there were no head frames or ore cart tracks but the mills along with there giant smelter brick stacks still stand today! Its fairly obvious I have more good things left to come although Belmont was called Transylvania in its early days today its fearless name as been reduced to nearly a few remnants of the past.


I would eventually move on to Tonopah we went from exploring one ghost town to getting ready to take on a location that is ten times bigger known as Tonopah. When Belmont lost the country seat it went to Tonopah. Most of the residents in Belmont literally abandoned there homes and moved there as well in the early 1900's. When the mines were exhausted and the town begin to lose its battle with county government it was over and today this is what you get it remnants of a city that once had thousands reduced to just a few residents. It was quiet here and very scenic its one of the more beautiful ghost towns I been to and I know for years to come our fans are in for a big big treat trust me when I say that! I will return and I will have an ale here when the saloons are open once winter tapers down. This place was a world in itself there are no cops or traffic hour or even amenities its just you versus the Nevadan mountains. I would open up our next expedition as we made our way down to Tonopah for the second half of the day starting with the old Tonopah Military Airbase.

Manson and his family visited the Courthouse in Belmont in 1969 more or less they probably stayed here a couple days squatting as at the time the courthouse was in deplorable shape meaning it had no doors or windows really. Its hard to even say if the Family went in and vandalized it further before renovations took place. But this was written on the door of the recorders office some folks think Charlie himself wrote it with his pocket knife. The Mansion family spent years squating in locations that they defaced for example they use to spend allot of time in the ghost town of Bellart. Which also houses some of Mansions graffiti. Nobody knows for sure but below I have posted an article about the etching found at the courthouse its worth a gander. Over the years rumors have swirled that The Family may have buried a few bodies on the courthouse property nobody can be sure though.
A mark of Manson
Cultist's name left in Nevada ghost town

 
Las Vegas Review- Journal Thursday May 22, 2008

Investigators just wrapped up a fruitless dig for bodies at Charles Monson's hide out in California in Death Valley, but you don't need a shovel to find what the Manson family might have left at one Nevada ghost town. If someone is around to let you inside the old Nye County courthouse in Belmont, you can look for it on a door frame on the first floor--a simple patch of graffiti that now carries haunting undertones. Many old-timers in  central Nevada believe the mark was left by a member of the doomsday cult, maybe even Charlie himself. And though state officials and historians won't confirm the notion, they don't exactly reject it either.  "I have more reason to believe it than I do not to believe it," said Eric Johnson, region manager for the Nevada Division of State Parks.

"It's hard tellin'," added Tonopah native and historian Bill Metscher. "To me, it's entirely possible."

Even State Archivist Guy Rocha, a man who has dedicated his career to busting fantastic-sounding historical myths, doesn't completely dismiss the story of the Manson family in Belmont.
For one thing, he saw the graffiti himself decades ago.

"There is something there that relates to the Manson family. Whether they put it there, I don't know," Rocha said. "It's a long-standing belief. It's claimed. I don't know how you verify it forensically."
Longtime Nye County resident Paula Kniefel serves as caretaker and part-time tour guide for the courthouse, now a state historic site.
She said the graffiti reads, "Charlie Manson + family 1969," with a peace symbol drawn in the O in Manson.

Kniefel said it looks like a pocketknife was used to carve the words into the wooden entrance of what used to be the county recorder's office.
Belmont, 255 miles northwest of Las Vegas, had one full-time resident in 1969, a woman by the name of Rose Walter.

Before her death in the late 1980s, Walter told several people about the time that Manson and his followers squatted in the abandoned courthouse for a short while.
"She swore up and down that it was them who lived there and left" the graffiti, Kniefel said. "She said they didn't bother her. I don't have any reason to doubt her."
Henry Berg grew up in Smoky Valley, one mountain range removed from Belmont. Now he and his wife, Bertie, own and operate the historic Belmont Inn, just up the hill from the courthouse.

Berg said he knew Walter a little and heard a different story about her interaction with Manson and company.

"She went over there with a shotgun and run them off," he said. "It's lucky. They could have come back and killed her."
They didn't, and Walter lived on into her nineties.

Now that she's gone, though, the only ones left who might be able substantiate the story are Manson or another surviving member of the family, Rocha said.
For that to work, you would have to find someone who was willing to talk to you and who might remember, through the fog of time and illegal drugs, a brief stop in central Nevada a few months before the Los Angeles killing spree.

Manson himself might be able to shed some light on it, Rocha said, but it would be hard to trust what he told you one way or the other.
"This has taken on layers and layers of lore," he said. "It's hard to know what's really there."

Similar questions have swirled around the Barker Ranch at the remote, southwestern edge of Death Valley National Park.
Manson and some of his followers were arrested there in October 1969, a few months after they committed a series of grisly murders in Los Angeles. For years, there have been rumors about unmarked graves on the property.

On Wednesday, though, a team of investigators put those stories to rest with the conclusion of a two-day forensic dig that yielded no evidence of human remains.

No one seems to think there are any bodies left behind from the Manson family's visit to Belmont. If there are unmarked graves in the area, they probably belong to American Indians from 100 years ago or more, Berg said.

For a time in the late 1800s, the silver mining camp of Belmont was Nevada's second-largest community with about 2,000 residents.

The two-story, red-brick courthouse was completed in 1867 and served as Nye County's central offices until the county seat moved to Tonopah in 1905.

The building stood open and abandoned for decades, falling victim to vandals and scavengers.

Kniefel said someone removed the flooring from the assessor's office, and the building's doors, windows, baseboards and crown molding were all carried off over the years.
The building was at risk of collapse when Nye County deeded it to the Nevada Division of State Parks in 1974.

Since then, the structure has been stabilized and sealed from the elements.

Last year alone, the state spent more than $500,000 to strengthen and "seismically retrofit" the courthouse, said Johnson, who oversees the far-flung Central Nevada-Fallon Region of the state park system.
There are plans to renovate the inside of the building someday, but based on the state's current budget situation, Johnson doesn't expect that to happen anytime soon.
"To be honest, it's not even on the radar," he said.

When the renovations do get done, Johnson said, an effort would be made to preserve some of the graffiti left in the courthouse through the years, including one carving reportedly made by prominent Nevada businessman George Vucanovich, the late husband of former Nevada Congresswoman Barbara Vucanovich.


Without a doubt, the Manson family mark will be the highlight of the collection, Johnson said.
We found these fresh tracks in the snow below while pushing through the national forest in the snow on the way to the cemetery. Its a bit offbeaten since their are no trails and the road had allot of snow on it therefore we made our own path coming across these unusual tracks. At first I thought maybe this is a rabbit but when you take the strides into consideration they are easily over 6' and I tried to replicate them but could not. Therefore for something to create such strides they would have at least be 8' in height so it is strange. I even posted a set of rabbit tracks below so you can compare even see the difference so make sure you check out the last two pictures. I have heard time and time again about giants and even bigfoot roaming the Nevada wilderness. People may think this sounds strange but tracks like this further validate such claims. Something big made these and it had one hell of a stride lets just agree on that factor! What do you think made these tracks?

Don't think it gets cold in Belmont? Think again this propane tank is completely covered in an icy shell. Belmont's elements plagued those that braved to live here. Imagine what it was like over a century ago when the locals did not have wind, solar or propane. They would have to depend on burning Juniper and Pinions to stay warm.
