Perched in the heart of Tonopah, the historic Mizpah Hotel is one of Nevada’s most famously haunted landmarks. Built in 1907, this grand hotel is home to lingering spirits—most notably the Lady in Red, often seen wandering the upper floors. Guests and staff alike report unexplained footsteps, flickering lights, whispers in empty hallways, and playful pranks like items being moved or doors opening on their own. Longtime staff share stories of friendly—but unmistakable—interactions with the spirits, who seem to enjoy making their presence known to those brave enough to stay the night.

The Belvada Hotel, opened in 1906, stands as one of Tonopah’s most elegant historic landmarks from the silver mining boom era. Once a luxurious stop for miners, politicians, and travelers, the hotel reflects the prosperity—and hardships—of early Tonopah. Over the years, guests and staff have reported unexplained voices, shadow figures, footsteps in empty hallways, and doors opening on their own. Some believe the spirits are former residents and workers who never left, quietly roaming the halls as a reminder of the Belvada’s rich past and enduring presence in Nevada history.
