The $53,000,000 Ghost Town of the 1800s

[@FriendsofSutroTunnel]

Thank you for comming out doing a great video of our local history and our site.

[@GirlMomma]

Wow, this is incredible! Thanks EWU, you never let down. 💕 Fun fact, I grew up in Stead, Nevada. Right outside of Reno Nevada. Virginia City is absolutely amazing. It's a ghost town.

[@bryan565656]

Definitely covered way more than most videos I’ve seen on Sutro. Great video 👍🏻

[@mackaybeagles6541]

I love this! I was aching for more EWU content after binging most the good crime docs. Keep it up! I will consume it all!

[@madenabyss6981]

Love these kind of stories thanks EWU crew 👍👍

[@beepseatsfindingfoodtreasu8756]

Its great to see that the tunnel has not been forgotten. I was there in the 80's and we spent two days working our way along the rock falls. We estimated that we were less than a thousand feet from the other end. But it was a tough two days just getting enough room to squeeze through and only to find another collapse just ahead. It would be great to go back and walk through the portal this time. It was six hours of digging just to get inside. And what you saw in the video was the entirety of the tunnel. Not a spot where you didnt have debris under foot. Im definitely going to return and vist the tunnel. Thanks EWU crew!

I am working on restoring Sutro. I would love to hear about your exploration of the tunnel. How could I reach you?

[@kellyc6380]

It seems like it was run like a “toll bridge” Funny how the press hasn’t changed all these years later. Thank you for sharing this interesting history 🇺🇸

[@annamil3615]

Really, very interesting! I enjoy our "sinist " history . You should have your team do a deep dive in the Rockefellers. Really graceful has some good input but id live to hear yalls views. Thanks❤

[@michelleharrell8452]

Thankyou for this history lesson re The Sutro Tunnel in Dayton, NV. I see that the new building of the inside is really improved. But will require millions$ to complete & Mansion, etc.

[@elainelong5517]

"The bought out 'flunky' press"... Oh how the apple has not fallen far. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@debdeb5093]

I just watched Sutro Tunnel covered the report via the ghost adventures crew aired September of 2023. Both are good shows

[@FriendsofSutroTunnel]

Thank you! We've had a few others out with other experiences and offer ghost tours.

[@Oldnoitall]

Hay hay good family good video and glad that you guys are still around Happy New Year from Piney Flats Tn ! You must have a good sound board or some good editing tricks if this is crazy daddy’s voice lol ! I

[@VigilanceRifles]

WOW. That was very interesting and rather put together well.

[@bigchimptactical]

Awesome story! Love your channels!

[@shable1436]

Sutro mansion reminds me of the Bates mansion above the Bates motel in the movie psycho😂 Interesting if you look up sutros children, his son, grandson lived in haunted mansions in san Fransisco

[@pdlsprite]

The buildings and mine entrance reminds me of an episode of Carnivale, when they stay over at an abandoned mining town

[@bestbadcompany]

Awesome video Raven !!!... hey about 3 years ago you had a lady with a great voice and you and her got me thru some horrible xs and she seemed to be gone. Are her videos still available. Thank BBC

[@HuckBuddies]

Had zero idea of this side channel 😂 Love the switch up! 😊

[@Ddax-td7qy]

A story worth telling, and you covered it pretty well! Sutro a hero of mine. Just a tidbit: the experts said the air would flow down from his breach into the mines: Sutro (you mildly dissed his "engineering" credentials) predicted, no, when I break thru, the air will rush up! My dad taught California history, and I was raised with a sense of the Tunnel as "Sutro's Folly." The most terrible thing is, he brought back to San Francisco from Europe whole bookstores of ancient books and manuscripts, but he didn't want them stored at the coast risking damp. Burned in the fire of 1906.

[@FriendsofSutroTunnel]

He's also a hero of mine! We've got some great videos on our page about Sutro and the site, you might really like this video of inside the tunnel before we cleared the collapse kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYa0YZWkh9aDi7s

[@63DW89A]

I can see the possibility of a wonderful TV series being made about 1850's-to-1870's Virginia City / Comstock Lode, Nevada Territory that could be as popular as the incredible DEADWOOD TV series about the 1874 Black Hills gold rush to Dakota Territory.

[@BubbaD423]

Just found this channel and really enjoying the content....

[@slodrift4251]

Y’all should do more of these

[@falkenxx]

I went to see Sutro Tunnel about 20 years ago and there were all kinds of nasty signs about no visitors ever, etc. So I won't bother ever coming back. I live down the street too.

[@MikeCzenkMD]

People are vandalizing it

[@ghostlytavern129]

Just found this channel ugh I love EWU

[@snookiearriaga1474]

U upload what every 3 months? Now we would like to see u upload once a week! What u say guys?

[@EWUHistory]

We're working on it. 🐺

[@GirlMomma]

I mean, have you seen all the amazing channels that they put videos out on?? 🫶

[@GirlMomma]

Of course I could never get enough of them!! 😆💖

[@jamesnolanjones2994]

I don't think that commenters here grapples at the sheer gravity that most of these mockumentaries content creators' efforts is put in to "pumping" out weekly content. Some like EWU here takes their time and don their scuba gear and do deep dives into their R&D. So that their content is as clear and concise, and informative in lue of heaven forbid exhibiting Miss Disinformation. Other mockumentaries content creators are rushing their information, most of the time having to reupload for corrections to certain information being inaccurate. Due to rushed VU shared content uploading of dead end daily to weekly content of potential fallacy. So bi to tri-monthly content uploads is a good thing for the EWU Crew for the sake of the deep dive, spot on accuracy of informational content that they eventually put out. So do you want pinpoint accuracy of context and content, or rushed Miss Disinformation of frequently pumped out wkly/daily, potentially inaccurate content?🧐

[@GirlMomma]

@@jamesnolanjones2994 100%!!

[@Everythingallthetime666]

Sutor also had a massive mineral baths health spa in san francisco, and as his luck was, the great earthquake that destroyed san Francisco also destroyed his "sutro baths".

[@42Marica]

Yes!!

[@andrewward2010]

Never heard of this place before. Wonder if there are any of Sutros descendants still around the area?

[@karmafarbus160]

They are building Homes where the town used to be . I wonder if there were bodies buried there . they got rid of the horses and their water source and fenced the whole place in

[@shaunam7076]

Anything Comstock absolutely never loises its value.

[@timb7725]

In todays money a source said over $1 trillion were produced in gold and silver from the Comstock mines.

[@GirlMomma]

EWU crew! 🫶🫵

*WATCHING THIS WHILE TAKING A SHIT*

[@TammieR-B]

❤❤❤

[@1961jagman]

very interesting , but the logo you have ghosting in the background of your video is so annoying get rid of it

[@billw7213]

I would suggest that sutro had to leave Prussia because at that time, the Prussian's had enough crap.

[@tomgunn8004]

66 million years ago?hahahahahahahahaahahahahahahaha!

[@machinegaming6426]

But, but, scientism says so!
