Virginia Cities Boot Hill In Silver Terrace Cemeteries
I took this footage almost at the top of Boot Hill a place where hangings were said to have taken place in Virginia City. This is so that they could bury the dead after the hanging. The Pacific Coast Pioneers section only plays a small part in the size of the Silver Terrace Cemeteries which are said to be haunted as well as named one of the largest historic landmarks in the state of NV. This video isnt the greatest but it gives everyone a perspective of the size and history that surrounds this hill.
Road Trip to Virginia City Montana
I noticed the other day, my license plates on my van were two months expired. To get them renewed I drove 14 miles from Ennis, where I live, up over the Gravely Range into the Ruby Valley, into Virginia City, and the Courthouse where I get my new plate tags.
Virginia City where Calamity Jane lived for some time. In 1863, the area was part of the Dakota Territory until March, when it became part of the newly formed Idaho Territory. On May 26, 1864, the Territory of Montana was formed, with Bannack briefly becoming the territorial capital, Virginia City would quickly take that title from Bannack.
In May 1863, a group of prospectors were headed towards the Yellowstone River and instead came upon a party of the Crow tribe and were forced to return to Bannack. Gold was discovered on the retreat trip when Bill Fairweather stuck a pick near Alder Creek joking he might find something to fund some tobacco.
The prospectors could not keep the site a secret. They were followed on their return to the gold bearing site and set up the town in order to formulate rules about individual gold claims. On June 16, 1863 under the name of Verina the township was formed a mile south of the gold fields. The name was meant to honor Varina Howell Davis, first and only First Lady of the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. Verina, although in Union territory, was founded by men whose loyalties were thoroughly Confederate. Upon registration of the name, a Connecticut judge, G. G. Bissell, objected to their choice and recorded it as Virginia City. (In full irony, since Virginia itself had seceded, only to have West Virginia secede from the state and stay in the Union, it seemed an appropriate name for aDixie city in Yankee territory.)
Within weeks Virginia City was a veritable boomtown of thousands in the midst of a gold rush with no law enforcement whatsoever, except for vigilantism. Most of Montana became under the rule of aVigilance committee, the infamous Montana Vigilantes, which operated on both sides of the law. Their secret motto, 3-7-77 is still on the badges, patches, and car door insignia of the Montana Highway Patrol.
In 1864, the Montana Territory was carved out of Idaho Territory. Virginia City, claiming 10,000 citizens, was made the capital of the new territory in 1865. The first public school was built in 1866, but already the most easily accessible gold from placer mining had been exploited and development and population in the territory was moving towards Helena.
Ghost town
In the 1940s, Charles and Sue Bovey began buying the town, putting much needed maintenance into failing structures. The ghost town of Virginia City began to be restored for tourism in the 1950s. Most of the city is now owned by the state government and is a National Historic Landmark operated as an open air museum. Of the nearly three hundred structures in town, almost half were built prior to 1900. Buildings in their original condition with Old West period displays and information plaques stand next to thoroughly modern diners and other amenities.
Virginia City also has a Boothill Cemetery.
From Boomtown to Ghost Town - Virginia City, Montana
Virginia City was founded after gold was discovered near Alder Creek in 1863. The boomtown became the capital of the newly established territory of Montana in 1865, and held onto that role for 10 years. A number of Montana firsts took place in Virginia City.
Due to rampant crime, a vigilante group, the Vigilance Committee, took matters into their own hands until territorial law enforcement could be established.
Like many mining boomtowns, things eventually went bust, and Virginia City became a ghost town. In the 1940s, Charles and Sue Bovey started to buy up the town and began to restore it, resulting in the establishment of the Historic District of Virginia City and Nevada City.

C14A1888 - This shop was restored to its historic appearance

Silver Terrace Cemeteries - All Hallows Eve Virginia City Nevada
Silver Terrace Cemeteries in Virginia City is composed of 11 or more burial grounds. Over the years its developed a reputation for being haunted especially up at boot hill where the lawless were hung. The cemetery is surrounded by mines and very few people ever get to investigate it for the paranormal at night. This is our second investigation on Halloween night as ill take our viewers to the top of boot hill where Captain Storey is buried and down to Mt. St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery. Eventually darkness sets in and you can see all of Virginia City lit up including the giant V on the side of Mount Davidson. After dark ill take you through other parts of the cemetery followed by a gallery featuring some of our adventure in Silver Terrace and our awesome Halloween with some spooky music. The gallery will include pumpkin carving, five week old black kittens, spooks, scares, good times, treats and Halloween festivities. Silver Terrace Cemeteries date back to the founding of Virginia City and the Comstock Lode. They are said to be some of the most historic cemeteries in Northern Nevada. I will also touch base a little bit about Julia Bulette a madam that was murdered and the man that was hung on boot hill for his crimes. We are far from working with this location just a state of things to come and a sweet little investigation on All Hallows Eve in 2015!

Wayward Wind_Eddy Arnold_Lyrics_Virginia City_Nevada
This is my favorite town to visit in the United States...Virginia City, Nevada because it turns back the time to mid 1800's...This town was built in the gold and silver rush days where gambling and prostitution is still legal today...I collect Carson City silver dollars from the mint there from the 1800's as I love real silver and gold coins...I wear a 1911 five dollar gold coin ring...I make vintage real silver coin necklaces and bolo's taken from these mines and make crystal jewelry necklaces and earrings for friends for my fun and give them away...I was taught by Apache Indians in Arizona as I was friends with the Chief back in 1970 and all the men Indians make fabulous jewelry...I'm also into turquoise and Branch red coral...
Oh, the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And I was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
In a lonely shack by a railroad track
I spent my younger days
And I guess the sound of the outward bound
Made me a slave to my wand'ring ways
And the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And I was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
Oh I met a girl in a border town
I vowed we'd never part
Though I tried my best to settle down
She's now alone with a broken heart
And the wayward wind is a restless wind
A restless wind that yearns to wander
And I was born the next of kin
The next of kin to the wayward wind
The next of kin to the wayward wind

In Old Virginia City Montana - Through Windows Into Bygone Times
Took a little walking trip through Virginia City Montana today, looking through windows of a bygone era. The stores sealed in time. Shelves stocked, for ghosts of the past. Faces looking back at the present from a time when life, not quit as safe, but gentler in some respects.

Virginia City is the Wild West
Virginia City, NV may be set in the 1800′s but the entertainment is timeless! It is a town rich in history and the home to a lot of firsts and lasts. Mark Twain first used his pen name here, Janice Joplin joined what would be her first band and they have the last full speed stagecoach ride.
There is an ever evolving calendar of events and something different almost every weekend! There are wild west show downs, themed balls, silly parades and museums galore. You can walk the town and enjoy the shops and saloons or dig in your heels and try every adventure. I love costumes and you have to love a town where you can dress in 19th century attire and blend in. With so much to do, the only thing you will have to worry about is how many days you can spare to stay.

Wild West: Virginia City, Nevada
On a recent trip to Reno, I talked hubby into taking a detour up a winding mountain highway to Virginia City, Nevada. This place is so cool. Definitely want to go back and spend a couple of days to go through all of the town's museums. I did get to spend some time at the historic graveyard 'Boot Hill.' If you like old graveyards, then check out the two videos I posted of the cemeteries. mariacisnerostoth.com

Episode 26 Shadow Mafia Paranormal, The voices of Silver Terraces Cemetery Virginia city Nevada 2019
#spiritcommunication #ITCLegion This session was at Virginia City Silver Terraces Cemetery. We we're recording for about 2-3 hours but most of the footage was lost due to high winds ruining the audio. Over all what was salvaged was some really good spirit communication using It Legions Deadtime and Anomalies program.

Virginia City: Mark Twain, Haunted Hotels, and Suicide Tables!
History, Tourist Traps, Suicide Tables, Mining, Haunts!! All of it right here in Virginia City, Nevada. As a huge fan of Mark Twain and his book 'Roughing it' I've known a lot about Virginia City and the Comstock years, and always wanted to see the town for myself.
This was the place Samuel Clemens first worked as a professional writer under the name Mark Twain - and it was also the place where one of the richest mining booms in old west history took place. The comstock is legendary, and it left plenty of legendary attractions above it straddling the side of Mt Davidson in Virginia!
This video is the result of our first visit here together, but there should be many more, hopefully when I'm not completely sick! Thanks for watching!
