Deserted Nevada Pet Cemetery Regarded As Most Haunted In U.S.

Southern Nevada is home to numerous centuries-old cemeteries and abandoned mining towns that locals claim are paranormal hotspots. One cemetery southeast of Las Vegas has been the final resting place for beloved pets for nearly 100 years and is regarded as one of the creepiest landmarks in the United States.

I've been all through southern Nevada during my travels back and forth from California to Las Vegas and Reno. I've spent nights in alleged haunted hotels in Virginia City, which is another area of Nevada that attracts paranormal investigators from all over. The desert has always fascinated me due to the harsh landscape and remnants of forgotten history.

Another reported haunted attraction that's close to Boulder City's celebrated cemetery is the Haunted Clown Hotel in Tonopah, which is about a three-hour drive northwest. Both sites would make for a fun weekend of investigating for evidence of life after death.
