Haunted Nevada
In the almost ghost town of Goldfield, Nevada is the historic and reportedly very haunted Goldfield Hotel. Reportedly there are several ghosts haunting this old grand hotel, the most famous of which is a woman named Elizabeth.
According to legend, Elizabeth was a prostitute that owner George Wingfield visited frequently in the 1930s. When she turned up pregnant, she claimed the child was his. Wingfield was said to have lured her into room 109 of the hotel, where he chained her to a radiator. Supplied with food and water, she was left there until her child could be born.
Some say that Elizabeth died in childbirth, but others contend that Wingfield murdered her after the child was born. Her baby was then thrown into the old mine shaft at the northern end of the basement over which the hotel was built. Afterwards, rumors abounded that Elizabeth continued to visit Wingfield and the sound of a crying child could sometimes be heard coming from the depths of the hotel. When Elizabeth has been sighted, she has been described as having long flowing hair, wearing a white gown, and looking terribly sad as she paces the hallways, calling out to her child.
