โœฆ Synopsis

Along the California-Nevada border lies a beautiful tourist spot—with a history of hauntings. Photos included!

Locals say the ghosts of the Donner Party haunt their doomed campsite in the Sierras. Wealthy recluse George Whittell is said to have never left his beloved Thunderbird Lodge, though he died in 1969. The ghosts of Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, and members of the Rat Pack are thought to gallivant in the showroom and cabins of the Cal Neva Lodge, a popular celebrity retreat. Prisoners from the past may remain in the old Truckee Jail, and the restless spirit of a murdered showgirl might linger in the Tahoe Biltmore.

Travel back to Tahoe's golden age and explore the spot where glamour meets ghoul . . .
