As for me, I searched the cabin and left the camera in the empty cabin. I could not visually capture anything. But the captured audio appears, changes, maybe with a foot. It could be an old house that settles down as the desert cools. I still can’t explain it. Then I sat by the fire pit under the sky that takes the place of the beat on what Travel Nevada calls the park in the dark.
I’m not the only one confused. The Ghost Adventures The crew filmed at the saloon, the Sourdough Saloon and the Exchange Club for an episode airing later this season.
Ghost stories in the sourdough cabin
The Pahrump Valley Times Locals are said to date the sourdough from the rhyolite boom to the 1940s. His ghost stories are less controversial. There’s a Shadow Man walking around the corner (Derek, who invested in the bar, thinks it might be a reflection), upstairs is said to be an illegal brothel, and, according to Derek, several past owners who died in the building.
Bartender Hutch, who owns more than 200 sports jerseys and jokes like a pro, tells me about a bartender who looked in the reflection of the window as he closed and saw a man on the stool behind him. There was no one there. In the back room, where Chef Tim runs the kitchen, I sensed a heavy atmosphere at least twice. Not terrible, but heavy. When you leave, order a pizza and a sour bootleg sandwich.
Voices Exchange Club
Across the street, the Exchange Club dates back to 1906, every trip to Nevada, and now sports an ornate steam room facade. Inside, the stairs descend into darkness and the upstairs, said to be a former brothel, still has the original once colorful carpet.
My guide, Danny the electrician, had never seen a ghost. But he hears voices from the back shop. “It’s like people talking, like, outside my door,” Dan shares. He can distinguish between male and female, two or three different voices. He walks around the building, but does not meet a living soul.
