In Goldfield, Nevada though the Goldfield Hotel does not exist today, it still experiences ghostly hauntings. It has been closed off and abandoned. The 154-room Goldfield Hotel was built on top of an abandoned gold mine opening for the first time in 1908, closing its doors in 1945. Many attempts to reopen the hotel have been met with problems due to unexplained incidents, thus hotel restoration has never been completed. The almost ghost town of Goldfield is hoping that one day the hotel can be refurbished so that a reopening could revitalize the town with new jobs and tourism. However, they’ve been promised and let down so many times, they’re not holding their breath.
The hauntings are said to have originated with the sad story between a prostitute named Elizabeth and the hotel manager George Wingfield during the 1930s. She became pregnant and told Wingfield the child was his. For awhile he paid her to stay away. However, when she could no longer hide the pregnancy, Wingfield was said to have chained her to a radiator in Room 109. He kept her alive until she gave birth. Afterwards, Elizabeth was left to die in the room and the baby was thrown down the old mine shaft at the northern end of the basement.
Soon, rumors ran rampant that Elizabeth’s ghost continued to visit Wingfield and the sound of a crying child could sometimes be heard coming from the depths of the hotel. Whenever Elizabeth’s ghost was seen, she was described as having long flowing hair, wearing a white gown, and looking sad as she paced the hallways, calling out to her baby. Others have reported her being sighted in Room 109, which is often described as being intensely cold, and on one occasion a ghostly figure appeared in a photograph of the room. Most people report that while their cameras function normally everywhere else in the hotel, SO they refuse to work only in room 109.
There have been reports of other ghosts as well. On the first floor, the George Wingfield Room is said to be haunted by his ghost. Both cigar smoke and fresh ashes have been found there when no one had been in the room at all! George's presence has also been detected near the Lobby Staircase (left), where the ghosts of a midget and two small children have also been seen. The Gold Room is haunted by a ghost that "stabs" people. High psychic energy is been detected in the Theodore Roosevelt Room and a southwest room on the third floor. Some psychics say that the Goldfield Hotel is one of only seven portals to the Other Side that exist in the modern world.!
Many say that behind every mirror is a different universe (not sure if it's 1 universe per mirror, or 1 universe accessible by all mirrors). This universe is different in every way from our own, with otherworldly creatures and even shapes and colors unfamiliar to our own universe.
There exists some harmony that keeps our universes from mixing, but if the harmony is disrupted, beings from either side may be able to pass through the mirror into either world/dimension to serve people of our own realm.
About 30 min away from Goldfied is Tonapah. Ask Eric and Angie . . . about the Mizpah Hotel and the “Lady in Red” room which is rumored to be haunted. The Lady in Red was a prostitute who conducted her business with Mizpah patrons in the 1920s. A wealthy man is said to have killed her in a room on the fifth floor in a fit of rage after learning he was only one of her many customers.
Legend has it that the ghost of the lady roams the hotel to this day. Some who say they have seen her have discovered a pearl on their pillows or nightstands. There’s more to the story . . . Another version of the tale says her husband caught the woman cheating on him at the hotel after he had missed a train. He then beat her to death in a room, now often requested by guests who believe in the paranormal.
