Chasing Spirits Through Reno-Tahoe Territory

With its historic hotels, storied mining communities and buildings that have witnessed generations of Northern Nevada history, Reno-Tahoe Territory offers plenty of places where the past still feels remarkably close.

To explore the region’s more mysterious side, Reno-Tahoe Territory recently welcomed Joshua Sterling Bragg of Haunting Season, filmmaker Bryan Starr of BStarr Cinema and paranormal investigator Mike Richey of Charm City Paranormal for a journey into the legends, unexplained stories and reportedly haunted locations found throughout the Territory.

The paranormal FAM tour invited the creators to experience these places after dark, learn about the people and events connected to them, and investigate locations where visitors and residents have reported unusual activity. Rather than simply retelling local ghost stories, the group approached each stop with curiosity, historical context and the tools used in modern paranormal investigations.

Bragg shared moments from the tour with the Haunting Season audience through a series of TikTok videos, offering followers a glimpse inside the destinations, stories and nighttime investigations that shaped the trip.

Starr and Richey took viewers even deeper into the experience with a long-form investigation at Virginia City’s historic Mackay Mansion Museum, documenting the anticipation, atmosphere and unexpected moments that unfolded inside a place where recorded history and local legend often overlap.

Together, their coverage reveals another side of Reno-Tahoe Territory. Beyond its mountain scenery, outdoor recreation and lively communities is a region filled with compelling stories—some well documented, some passed down through generations and others that remain difficult to explain.

Whether you are a dedicated paranormal investigator, a fan of ghost stories or simply curious about the history hidden inside old buildings, the Territory offers countless opportunities to explore after the sun goes down.

Follow Joshua Sterling Bragg’s Reno-Tahoe Territory experience through the Haunting Season TikTok series, and watch the complete paranormal investigation featuring Bryan Starr of BStarr Cinema and Mike Richey of Charm City Paranormal on YouTube.

Just remember: when exploring Reno-Tahoe Territory’s haunted history, you may discover that not every story has been laid to rest.
