Virginia City, NV Ghost Town & Silver Terrace Cemetery

[@bettyfourman5438]

Thanks, I enjoy the old west cemeteries ..seeing the graves of pioneer and early settlers is so interesting. Hearing more about their lives and the words of the tombstones is good

[@laurab1089]

This is AWESOME! I love old west cemeteries and towns! Such beautiful iron work, scenery and sad epitaphs.

[@graveexplorations]

Thank you for watching and and leaving such a nice comment! This channel was born in this cemetery... I plan to return someday to do a proper exploration... :)

[@doloresvargas6450]

I like the way the fence captures the elegance of this cemetery.Tony

[@barbaralamson7450]

I went with a friend. She just couldn't get her head around how young they were, especially the women. Life was harsh in this region. Thank you. By the way, you have an excellent voice.

[@Tatortot318]

We went to Cloudcroft NM years ago, we drove to Carlsbad Cavern.....we stopped at these lonely cemeteries, the stones, and the unkept graves along with prarie dust and tubble weeds where as you have filmed, was sad but educational, the small childrens graves, I found a good size clam shell with a stone child laying in it...Will never forget it!

[@themiccrazy]

My favorite place to be. Especially the cemetery!

[@graveexplorations]

It really is a wonderful place to be. I recently revisited and will be uploading a greatly expanded video. Thank you for watching 😊

[@ThatThrashGuy99]

I love this city, insane history. Reno boy here and I love your channel

[@whatsthedealwithdanny3913]

I've been there. Great place. The cemetery was the best part for me as well. When I got there , it was kinda late and during the week at the end of winter. Most of the stuff in town was closed or about to close , so I explored the cemetery instead. It was almost dark when I left, and drove to Reno for the night. Great place. I need to go back if I ever get the chance.

[@doloresvargas6450]

It looks western to the bone.It's historical atmosphere looks lovely.Tony

[@joshuabeatty7406]

Been there pretty awesome got pictures of the bucket of blood saloon

[@ohmeowzer1]

Enjoyed it again..I just love this so much

[@graveexplorations]

Thank you Beth. I returned there last September and took tons more video there as well as in many other locations in the area. Keep an eye out for new material.

[@user-rn3um8nf5j]

The video content is so excellent, congratulations

[@lowdog4399]

Thanks for sharing this. I've been there many times with my family over the years. It was always one of my Mom's favorite places to walk through and just wonder about the people who rest there. My Mom's been gone for over 6 years now and when I take my family to the Silver Terrace Cemetery and walk the grounds, I can feel her walking with me and it makes me happy. Thanks again and I'm glad I found this video here on youtube. John :-)

What a classic Wild West cemetery!

[@catwoman472]

Awesome video. I love your channel. Keep up the great work. I love this type of stuff. Thanks for sharing

[@edwardaustin740]

Love the historical aspect you bring. Thank you !!

[@ashleelarsen7765]

Ditto but the whispers were not great

[@tiff624]

Looks like I visited this cemetery a month after you did. I found it to be exactly what you said: much more evocative of the city/region's history and past compared to the downtown area. It was sad and beautiful place.

[@graveexplorations]

tiff624 Thank you for watching and commenting. The idea for this channel was born in this cemetery. Some day I plan to go back and film the rest of it.

[@annmoles3108]

Thank you ,so peaceful

[@mariemoore6406]

Need to come to Louisiana...Love these tours with the background info to go with them..

[@graveexplorations]

I would LOVE to make it that part of the country. I'm hoping to do it in the next year or so. Thank you for watching and commenting. :)

[@user-of9lz6sz8z]

I love Cemeteries LIKE THAT

[@eclecticadventurer]

I've been here. Spent the day at the Washoe and took the ghost tour. One of these days I'll make it back to visit the cemetery.

[@graveexplorations]

It's very much worth the visit. A couple words of advice if you do go, prepare to do a lot of walking and make sure to have a appropriate footwear and plenty of water handy. And even though it's a bit of a hike there are two more cemeteries behind Silver Terrace that are worth the effort. Thank you for watching.

[@victoriataylor5457]

Virginia City must have been quite the town in its day, so interesting to see. The place where the series Bonanza and the Cartwright family , was supposedly suppose to have lived. I love your videos, so very interesting. Mary Jane's epitaph was kinda foreboding.

[@graveexplorations]

From everything I've read, it was a wild place. This is where the idea for Grave Explorations was born... In the near future this video will be updated with more content and better audio.

[@doloresvargas6450]

This western city is historic.Tony has spoken.

[@cynthiarenfroe8004]

Ben ,,Adam Hoss and little joe ,,,,Bonanza,,some of the best shows ever to run so long ,,they just don't make them like they use too

[@sandraplonka5225]

Love the video. And history.

[@graveexplorations]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@vaniafernandes2441]

Favorite tour cemetery.

[@doloresvargas6450]

It looks religious and lovely.Tony

So quiet. Ready for mother nature to reclaim her treasure. And the circle keeps turning

[@sakibear4478]

The first Cemetery I ever visited with my Parents in 1959 at the age of 7. Thank You for taking me there again in your video. I thought I saw the tall statue of the Angel briefly in your visit, is the large Angel still there? I have watched several videos done by others and not seen the statue. I haven't been there in 15-20 years and I can't remember how far in the statue is in. I hope vandals or someone hasn't stolen it. Thanks again for your video, the best one I have watched so far.

[@graveexplorations]

Thank you for watching and commenting. I do seem to recall seeing a few angel statues in Silver Terrace. I think they were more in the upper part where the Masonic cemetery is. Some day I plan to return here and do a proper exploration. On this visit I was just a tourist and hadn't yet conceived of this channel. In fact the idea for it was born on the drive home. It's still one of my all time favorite locations.

[@megancallahan7173]

Using my moms phone but the Red Dog owner Sue was my old principal for Hillside elementary.I love VC and i believe its haunted and all that for fun.I love that old town and I live in Dayton thats near it so I visit alot.

[@jlambert6084]

Just saw your channel for the first time today. I used to come check out the cemetery in Virginia City in high school. Legwnd says it moves by itself. I saw it in differently places in fhe cemetery nof sure if humans moved it or actual spirit activity. I wish people would keep even the old cemeteries landscaped or at least remove the weeds.

[@vickibroussard5603]

Thank you for the lovely video! My husband and I visited Virginia City Nevada in Movement 2018. I didn't get the chance to see the cemetery since in was windy and raining. We plan to return and this is the 1st place I will visit. By the way Cobb Mansion B&B is a wonderful place to stay.

[@graveexplorations]

I have fallen in love with the area, I was back there last September (took tons of video to make an updated video). When you go back, be prepared to do some hiking, good shoes and lots of water. Also there are two other cemeteries beyond Silver Terrace that are hardly ever visited. I've heard of Cobb Mansion B&B, I think its one street above the Opera House, maybe on my next visit I'll stay over. Take care, and thank you for watching :)

[@donnascott1574]

I enjoy it very much when you’re talking and explaining the graves and that what you’re saying I don’t like it just walking through and filming it.

[@ohmeowzer1]

Thank you 🙏

[@GalaxyTheCharmingTurd]

Virginia City was like a childhood vacation spot when I was a child up until I was 13 years old and I even then felt the hauntedness and the creepiness of that City especially around the Silver Queen Saloon.. and it just gave me the total creeps going into that little wedding chapel they have in there and definitely Virginia city is haunted😲😱😨

[@graveexplorations]

I recently returned there and will replace this video with a new one that gets into the history and legends of this amazing place (with better audio). I understand how you feel, the past is very close in this place. Thank you for watching

[@ferdlc7757]

Grave Explorations no pressure, but when is the video going to be released? I live near the city and want to know more about it

[@graveexplorations]

@@ferdlc7757 I expect to have it ready in early 2019.

[@SoCalUrbex74]

Another great video !

[@graveexplorations]

Thanks again for your kind comment! The idea for this channel was born in that cemetery that day. Before long I hope to go back there and do it justice.

[@judykelley4603]

I love your videos, I find this stuff fascinating,and the stories and the history, please keep doing them, maybe you could go to other states,oh and I like your voice...

[@graveexplorations]

Hi, Judy! Thank you for your very kind words and encouragement! Actually I have a big trip planned to the Midwest in 2017 - I can't wait :D

[@victoriataylor5457]

@@graveexplorations That's great to hear . Where will you be going in the Mid West ? Theres some wonderful old, out of the way, cemeteries throughout the Mid West. With some rich in history. I love this walk, such history , of it's people ,these old fenced in gated areas, with the people who now lay at rest within them are so intresting to see. Do you know why they did that? I was wondering about it. Was it that members of a family, one family ,are buried there? Or is it just the way they did it back then? And I like your voice, it's so calming. It's nice to hear you explain as you go. Keep up the good work Matt ! Enjoy your walks through these lovely old cemeteries, learning about the history and about all their lives . Thanks Matt Well done.

[@graveexplorations]

Thank you Victoria! The Mid West trip I was talking about happened in 2017. I went to Central Illinois and explored some of the Lincoln Trail. The video I did of Oakridge Cemetery came from that as well as the one on Thomas Lincoln, and Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis. Believe it or not, I still have a few more videos to make from that trip. I hope to get to them soon. It was a great time. And there is so much to see in the Mid West, I really want to get back. I'm planning on 2 big trips in 2019, but I haven't nailed down where just yet... the East Coast is looking highly likely.

[@markpedroza7294]

The stories that can be told by these settlers. It was Sutro who made his fortune there and later became mayor of San Francisco. A model of his mining operation fascinating me. And the elder Hearst made his fortune there as well. Any plans of coming to the San Francisco bay area? Keep it going....

[@graveexplorations]

Thank you for watching and sharing your insight :) And I absolutely plan on visiting the Bay Area as well as gold country. I haven't set a date for it yet, but it will likely be within the next year.

[@sandinoyes3882]

So interesting. Was there back in the mid seventies. Surprised you didn't show the big giant winged angel statue marking one of the grave sites. Love the quiet whispering history of the cemetery. Love your videos. Keep them coming.

[@graveexplorations]

Thank you for watching and leaving such a nice comment on one of my early efforts. Some day I will return and make a proper video. I later realized that there is much, much more to see here. Stay tuned :)

[@sandinoyes3882]

Grave Explorations . You're doing a fantastic job. Looking forward to future work. Have been Watching all your work.

[@califdad4]

Thank you for doing the Masonic Cemetery, very interesting. I am a Mason and enjoyed it. I have been to Virginia City and enjoyed it, I toured the Castle, a lovely Victorian. The 1st time I was in it , the owners lived in it still Many years ago, I was in Columbia, Ca, with my parents as kid and my Mom had us tour the cemetery there, it really gives you the history of the old residents

[@graveexplorations]

califdad4 Thank you for watching and sharing your story. There are three cemeteries here and the Masonic occupies the highest ground. When I came here, I was a tourist and hadn’t thought about this channel. Some day I plan to return and film the rest of it.

[@califdad4]

I noticed several people wrote about the condition of the cemeteries and why the city doesn't keep it up, but usually that falls on a cemetery board and I doubt there has been one for many years and what you see is the natural landscape of the high desert, I bet except for the age of the stones the cemetery looked like this 100 years ago. You don't see lawns and beautiful trees in his part of the desert

[@L8Bird]

@@califdad4 Virginia City is high desert. Our water source is piped from the Sierra's, to the west of us, making it precious stuff these days. Back in the city's heyday, this cemetery was the finest in the State of Nevada. Locals would picnic amongst the tombstones and admire the abundant greenery. There is a cemetery board and they have made some improvements, but budget impedes desire. In the fall there is a walking tour featuring actors portraying ghosts from the past, delivering a variety of experiences and history.

[@Graphite42]

Inspiration for Paris Disneyland's Phantom Manor was inspired by the architecture of the Fourth Ward School.

[@coolmoodee]

I've been to this cemetery. about time for me to come back

[@viktorperez4079]

Dear fellow taphophile: I was just visiting Virginia City a few days ago, visiting the cemeteries of the Eastern Sierras. You have a great video. Have you been to Bodie, California? It is accessible only in the summer months because of the snowfall in that region. It is my favorite ghost town with a fascinating cemetery and I would love to see you make a documentary on it. The place also has a famous curse. I revisited there last week; Manzanar cemetery as well. Lots of interesting little cemeteries along California 395. They would make interesting additions to your filmography. Keep up the great explorations. Your fan!

[@graveexplorations]

Thank you for watching and your very kind words. You must also be reading my mind. Bodie is definitely in my sights, I also plan to redo the Virginia City video with better stories, video and audio. :)

[@L8Bird]

@@graveexplorations Manzanar is an amazing and sad place to visit. Well worth the drive. Bodie, as well.

[@josephespitia5084]

I will never forget my experience when I visited silver terrace in the summer of 2005. I came face to face with a snake. When the snake and I saw each other. We both got scared and ran opposite directions.. My brother though it was the funniest thing ever.. Then he started to kick dirt at me saying "The snake The snake"

[@mipuravida27]

🙏🏻

[@wishicouldshowmyname5815]

I want to find some sort of comfort. My step-brother slept at a very hantued hotel in Virgnia City Hotel to protect his Hot Summer Night car. Next morning he did not feel well and complained that he workers kept saying it was his time to go, He went to the the parking lot and immediately died of a heart attack. Incredibly strange, any ideas?

[@GOWHID5173]

The neglect is so sad. I know a historical cemetery. However, some city employee could be paid to maintain and contract repairs. Just an idea, one tourist town to another...

I was here on May 11, 2019

Being at the "TOP", you'd think the masons would be better kept.

[@graveexplorations]

Yes, I admit that this is a clumsy video to say the least. I have plans to go back to Virginia City in the not too distant future and redo it. When I do, I'll spend several days there and get better video, go into parts of the cemetery I missed, dig deeper into the research, and mostly, get better audio :) Plus I understand that there is another cemetery out there that is seldom visited. Thank you for watching and commenting, best wishes.

[@alankaufman385]

There is, also, a Jewish cemetery on that hill.

[@2snowgirl520]

Sound?!?!

[@graveexplorations]

My apologies, this is more like a rough draft for a video. I have plans of returning here and remaking it from scratch.

[@dorotheawalker7985]

Sad no one tending to the care of it and just leaving it to rot.

[@graveexplorations]

It's no lie that vandalism and neglect have really taken their toll out there. Today I think it kept in a state of preserved decay. They post signs that say "Smile you're on camera." I believe they use internet surveillance.

[@JohnDoe-px4ko]

Really difficult to hear you at times .

[@graveexplorations]

Yes, it is, and I do apologize. The good news is, I will be visiting there again next month and will upload an entirely new video. Thank you for watching and commenting. All the best :)
