Historic hotel with old charm [Tonopah NV] After passing through the town of Tonopah several times on our way to Las Vegas we finally booked a room at the Mizpah Hotel for an overnight stay. Last year I had a chance to walk around the different floors and housekeeping was nice enough to show me the Lady In Red room on the 5th floor, Room #502. My original review has a more detailed account of my experience where at that time I did a solo self-guided tour while hubby waited downstairs in the huge sitting area. This time he came upstairs with me. He said he felt chills and smelled perfume in the air. As for me -- nothing. Smelled like air freshener to me. The Lady in Red is said to be a kindhearted presence, watching over the hotel as if still bound by her past profession. We were assigned a room on the 3rd Floor, supposedly this is the floor where heavy footsteps of children running up and down the halls could be heard. Last year during my visit I did see two children roaming around the floors (one in his early teen and the other younger), it was in mid afternoon after guest checkout so only housekeeping were in the building. It looked like they were helping with the housekeeping because I heard them mention something about a trash bag. This time I saw two kids again when we were on the 3rd floor. The older one told me that "the hotel was haunted" and started giggling as both ran down the stairs. I didn't think anything of it because in both experiences they looked very real LoL! I even asked the desk clerk if there were kids checked in w/ their parents and I was assured "yes" there were families staying that evening. Every time we meet people they would give us a fist bump to make sure we were real ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ At the registration counter there is a large book where guests can note down any paranormal experiences they've encountered during their stay. Wished I had time to read some of them. We did inquire about a ghost tour but we had to book 48 hours in advance so unfortunately we weren't able to do that. Mizpah Hotel is a historic landmark that dates back to 1907, built during the height of the silver mining boom, its name taken from the nearby Mizpah Mine that delivered the first silver lode. I did not feel any presence. Our room was cozy with vintage decor and I slept like a baby not feeling a single funky paranormal activity. Checked off my bucket list.
