Goldfield Hotel Investigation

When the producers of Scariest Places on Earth television show called me and asked me to name one of Nevada's most haunted buildings I didn't hesitate. "The Goldfield Hotel" Next question; How would I like to be involved with an investigation of the hotel? Silly question..Of course I would! In a few weeks my husband and I were driving to Goldfield. The following are my field notes from the investigation.
The Goldfield Hotel was Built in 1908 and has been closed for business well over 50 years. And yet, some say there are still ghostly guests on the premises....Hopefully, we will find out if there's any truth to this during our investigation of the building. We arrive early in the afternoon and meet with members of our group, the shows director, and the cameramen. In addition to the five members of our group there will be Elizabeth who is a psychic, Mike, Cat and their dog Ripley.

We are all anxious to get inside the hotel, however after a quick look around, the director informs us that we will have to wait till dark to go inside the old building again.

Here and now I'd like to say that doing an investigation in front of television cameras is a lot different than doing one without the cameras. It's usually hurry up and wait...and wait..Then as the investigation proceeds there's no time for comparing findings with other investigators; and watch your mouth! So what if you drop your flashlight and your brand new 500 dollar camera; this is family television after all...of course you should expect to repeat yourself if you are startled by some strange phenomena that the camera doesn't catch the first time you encounter it.
