Beneath the boardwalks of Virginia City lies a maze of abandoned mine tunnels where thousands chased silver...and many never came back out. From phantom miners and cursed gambling tables to ghostly figures wandering century-old hotels, the spirits of the Comstock may still be haunting the boomtown they helped build.

Twenty miles east of Lake Tahoe, high up in the Virginia Range at 6,500 feet elevation is one of the best preserved Old West towns in America, Virginia City. Known to locals as VC, in the 1860s, it was once the richest city in the world, home to the Comstock Lode, one of the largest silver strikes in history. In fact, the gold and silver from VC in the 1860s built all of San Francisco. Today, VC still has wooden boardwalks on C Street, ornate Victorian-era homes, two dozen saloons, a cemetery almost as large as the town itself and an Old West vibe that's admittedly a bit touristy, but undeniably genuine.

Michael and I talk about Wyoming, Virginia City and Butch Cassidy

One chilly January night in 1867, a Virginia City prostitute was strangled to death in her bed. The murderer was caught and hanged in front of a crowd of thousands, and the citizens of the Comstock considered the matter closed. More than 150 years later, the murder of Julia Bulette has become a local legend. The man accused, John Millain, was suspected of killing before, but there would be no justice for those victims. Reduced to vague mentions in newspaper articles, little was left to tie their unsolved murders to that of Julia's. Did John Millain leave a trail of tragedy that stretched from San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood to Julia's untimely end in Virginia City? Joining me is journalist Robin Flinchum, author of "The Redemption of Julia Bulette: Murder, Myth & the Hunt for a Serial Killer in Early Virginia City", who revisits the case, tells Julia's story, and explores whether her death may have been one of several connected killings.

“BETTE vs MIRIAM: WHEN STARS COLLIDED” - 3/30/2026 (133) What would Hollywood be without a good, old fashioned rivalry. It's well documented that BETTE DAVIS and JOAN CRAWFORD were not exactly besties. But did you know that Davis had another rivalry that was even uglier and more intense? That's right, the rivalry between Davis and her co-star in The Old Maid (1939) and Old Acquaintance (1943) was one for the ages. Completely different in upbringing, temperament, and acting styles, these two grand dames of the silver screen kept the gossip columnists' tongues wagging with their petty, mean-spirited one-upmanship. And while Davis ended up the victor in the long run, as she had a longer and more successful career, Hopkins could give as good as she could take. This week, we explore the long-standing feud between these two great divas.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Miriam Hopkins: Life and Films of a Hollywood Rebel (2018), by Allan R.

Virginia City is an Old West mining town complete with a history of gun fights, explosions, brothels and mine cave-ins. The Virginia City National Landmark is one of the nation's largest historic districts and includes over five hundred buildings dating to the time of the great bonanzas, from 1859 to 1880. John Mackay was an industrialist who formed a partnership with three other Irishmen and operated silver mines on the Comstock Lode. They hit it big in 1873 when they discovered the "Big Bonanza." That find built Virginia City and kept it on the map for the next two centuries. On the original episode, we were joined by three listeners to share their experiences. We'll share a bit of those on this one and updates. The Washoe Club was given its own episode originally, but we are including it here to give Virginia City a complete exploration. Join us for the many haunts of Virginia City!  Check out the website: http://historygoesbump.com Music used in this episode: Main Theme: Lurking in the Dark by Muse Music with Groove Studios Outro Music: Happy Fun Punk by Muse Music with Groove Studios Other music in this episode: Title: "The Wastes" Artist: Tim Kulig (timkulig.com) Licensed under Creative Commons By Attribution 4.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0997280/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1

Life is short—go see the place you've been putting off. And if this episode moves you, I'd love for you to subscribe and share it.Our journey was filled with scenic drives, quiet moments, and memories of our sweet fur baby, Khan — always with us, always missed.We soaked up lake views and starry skies at Eagle Lake RV Park in Susanville, then rolled into Minden, Nevada, where mountain towns, great food, and a drive to Truckee reminded us why the open road never gets old. Reno surprised us with incredible meals, lively energy, and a standout dinner at Duke's Steakhouse — a perfect place to celebrate life's moments.Virginia City took us straight back to the Wild West, complete with wooden boardwalks, live music, and golden sunsets over winding mountain roads. Along the way, we discovered unforgettable food — from Detroit-style pizza in Reno to ice cream by Lake Tahoe after one of the most scenic drives in the country, especially Emerald Bay.Petaluma became our cozy home base as we explored rugged Bodega Bay, quiet Dillon Beach, and the dreamy vineyards of Napa Valley, where even the air smells like grapes. Towering redwoods at Armstrong Reserve left us in awe, and the fog-wrapped Golden Gate Bridge felt like pure magic.Some places tugged at the heart — especially returning to Coarsegold to reunite with the angels who saved my life. Yosemite humbled us once again among giant sequoias thousands of years old, reminding us just how small — and lucky — we are.We wrapped this chapter in Southern California, soaking up sunshine, time with loved ones, and peaceful moments before turning east again — grateful, inspired, and ready for whatever adventure the road brings next. 

In case you missed it, we are rereleasing one of our most popular episodes- Madame Mustache: The Wild West’s Most Badass Gambler In this captivating episode of "Rainy Day Rabbit Holes," we delve into the remarkable life of Eleanor Dumont, famously known as Madame Mustache, a figure who epitomized the grit and spirit of the Wild West. Prepare to be transported to a time when high-stakes gambling was not just a pastime but a battleground for power and prestige, where the stakes were as high as the mountains that towered over Nevada's frontier towns.Madame Mustache was no ordinary gambler. With her signature mustache and sharp intellect, she carved a name for herself in a male-dominated world, effortlessly outsmarting the toughest card sharks and swindlers who dared to challenge her. We explore her early life, where her cunning nature began to flourish, leading her to the bustling saloons of San Francisco and the rough-and-tumble gambling halls of Virginia City. Listeners will be captivated as we recount her legendary poker games, where she employed not just skill but also an unyielding spirit that transformed her into a local legend.But the tale of Madame Mustache isn’t just about winning hands and collecting fortunes; it’s also a gripping story of revenge and resilience. In a dramatic twist, Eleanor's life takes a dark turn when she discovers her husband has been conning her and others. Fueled by betrayal, she embarks on a relentless quest for justice, tracking him down with a determination that serves as a testament to her strength.

Sarah Gammon Bickford was the first Black woman in the United States to own a public utility. Born into slavery in Tennessee in 1852, Sarah's early life was marked by hardship, resilience, and a determination to carve out her own destiny. After emancipation, she moved west to Virginia City, Montana—where she reinvented herself in a place few African American women dared to go. Sarah's story is one of reinvention and quiet revolution. From running a boarding house and candy store to taking ownership of Virginia City's water company, she became a respected entrepreneur in a male-dominated frontier town. Along the way, she raised a family, overcame personal losses, and turned the hot springs and waterworks into symbols of both survival and success.

About a half hour from Reno, there's a place called Virginia City Nevada, where everything feels like it's 1859 and the US's largest silver deposit was just discovered. The bars say saloon and look the part. The cemetery is definitely haunted. And of course there's a custom hatmaker—who shares a space in one of Virgnia City's oldest surviving buildings with bespoke cowboy bootmaker Jake Houston. Jake Houston wasn't the first person to fall victim to the wonderful folly of “the boots I want are too expensive, so I'll just figure out how to make them.” One Lisa Sorrell DVD set, a few rodeos, and over a decade later, Jake has put together an impressively well-rounded business in Virginia City, making fully custom cowboy boots, while also finding vintage pairs to sell in the shop alongside his more affordable Houston Boot Company “shelf” boots made in Leon Mexico. Jake and I had a fantastic chat about his bootmaking journey, the time he glued the lasts into a customers' pair, the half-decade path to get those shelf boots manufactured, his insistence on sharing his bootmaking knowledge—for free—and why people sometimes get really, really upset when you tell them what bespoke cowboy boots cost.Here's Jake Houston, on the Shoecast. https://www.houstonbootcompany.com/https://www.instagram.com/houstonbootco/ Support the Shoecast, get full bonus episode access, and join the most interesting shoe-and-boot-loving community on the internet with a Stitchdown Premium membershiphttps://www.stitchdown.com/join-stitchdown-premium/Check out our site!https://www.stitchdown.com/2025 dates and location for Stitchdown's Boot Camp 3—the world's fair of shoes and boots and leather and more—coming soon.https://www.stitchdownbootcamp.com/

Then, listener Chad tells about his personal connection to the UFO over Lake Oneida, New York, in 1997. Occurring just a few months after the famed Phoenix Lights, this looked remarkably similar.

Today on the show I'm excited to welcome Deny Dotson, the executive director of Hot August Nights. Even as someone who isn't particularly interested in classic cars, I've always enjoyed that Hot August Nights is an event that doesn't just take place in one location but feels like classic cars and a sense of nostalgia are all over town. We talked about the history of the event, the appeal of classic vehicles, what makes a car a classic, changes to Hot August Nights since Deny has been leading the organization, his previous work as the tourism director for Virginia City and some of his favorite events there, and a lot more! This episode, and most of the episodes this season, were recorded at LCD Modern at 907 Moana Lane, near the corner of Moana and Lakeside. I'm so grateful to Linda, the owner, for letting us use this wonderful space filled with cute modern furniture. Be sure to check it out if you get a chance! You can learn more about the store and see some of her great offerings at lcdmodern.com There are still several excellent episodes coming up before the end of this season though! Upcoming episodes include a conversation on aging with Dr. Peter Reed from the Sanford Center for Aging at UNR, owner of Rising for People Coffee Sky Jones, and chaplain Chaz blackburn, president of the good shepherd clothes closet and vice president of the board of the circle of life hospice foundation. Of course, please be sure to subscribe to the show wherever you get podcasts and follow @renoites on Instagram.
