In Ghost Adventures season 23 episode 8, titled "Beneath The Bonanza," the team heads to Virginia City, Nevada to investigate rumors of paranormal activity at the 150-year-old Bonanza Saloon. The building is said to be haunted by multiple spirits, including a ghostly woman who has been seen in the upstairs hallway and a male entity who is known to move objects and pull hair.
The team begins their investigation by interviewing local historians and eyewitnesses who have experienced unexplainable phenomena at the saloon. They learn that the building was once a hotspot for miners and cowboys in the late 1800s, and that numerous deaths occurred on the property due to gunfights, accidents, and disease.
As night falls, the team sets up their equipment and begins their investigation in the upstairs hallway. Using a thermal camera, they capture what appears to be a human figure moving through the hallway. The figure disappears before they can get a closer look, leaving the team stunned.
Next, they move to the basement where they have heard reports of disembodied voices and strange noises. The team splits up, with each member investigating a different area of the basement. During this time, Zak Bagans, the lead investigator, feels a strange presence and becomes physically ill.
The team regroups and decides to use a new technology called the Geoport, which is believed to allow spirits to communicate more easily. They are able to make contact with a female spirit who identifies herself as Maggie. Maggie tells the team that she was a prostitute who worked in the saloon and died of tuberculosis. She also reveals that there are multiple spirits in the building and that they all have different personalities.
The investigation continues into the early hours of the morning, with the team capturing numerous EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena) and other evidence of paranormal activity. They conclude that the Bonanza Saloon is indeed haunted and that the spirits there are at peace with their presence.
Overall, "Beneath The Bonanza" is a thrilling episode that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. The Ghost Adventures team is able to capture compelling evidence of paranormal activity and delve into the fascinating history of the Bonanza Saloon.
