Summary
Nevada is the nation's fastest growing state. And one of the most haunted. From the bright lights of Las Vegas to the small town of Virginia City, some of the Silver State's former residents still linger long after death has claimed them. Nevada's ghosts are a colorful bunch. Gangster Bugsy Siegel's lonely ghost has been seen several times in and around the rose garden and wedding chapel of the Flamingo Hilton in Las Vegas. Hank Parish was a despicable hombre who thought nothing of killing innocent people. Now old Hank is thought to haunt the building near the site where he was hanged over a century ago. Little Jennie Clemens was the joy in her parents' lives. When she died she broke their hearts and that of her uncle Mark Twain. She may be forgotten, but she's not gone. These are but a few of the ghosts that you will discover in Haunted Nevada.
