Summary

The old frontier town of Tonopah, Nevada was home to one of the biggest silver strikes in the state’s history. But the boom ended and the bustling town packed up and left, leaving a sparsely populated ghost town. The town saw many deaths over the years- From mining fires to shootouts to mysterious plague outbreaks. Now, the small number of people who live there seem to be outnumbered by the ghosts of the past. The clown motel is one business that still operates and is one of the more unusual haunted locations in the town. Find out what makes this strange little establishment so violently haunted.
