Handsome Henry<\/h2>\n

Right here in Elko, the Commercial Casino was the site of a murder years ago.\u00a0 Handsome Henry was in a room on the second floor with his stunningly beautiful mistress, when her husband found them together in bed.\u00a0 Jealous, he shot them both.\u00a0 To this day, Henry still wanders the casino, looking for his lost love.<\/p>\n

Pyramid Lake Mermaid<\/h2>\n

The mermaid of Pyramid Lake, just a few hours from Elko, is rumored to once have married a member of the Paiute tribe.\u00a0 Their marriage, however, was deemed inappropriate by the elders and she was banished.\u00a0 In her heartbreak, she now swims in Pyramid Lake, drowning any who approach the shore in anger for being abandoned.<\/p>\n

Pyramid Lake Water Babies<\/h2>\n

Pyramid Lake and the Paiute have a lot of history.\u00a0 Another urban legend claims the Paiute tribe used to toss deformed babies into the lake, as they were hindrance to the tribe’s survival.\u00a0 The spirits have grown angry in being disposed of so callously, and now take revenge by pulling people from their boats and drowning them.<\/p>\n

Tessie<\/h2>\n

Lake Tahoe is a popular hot spot, so it comes as no surprise that it’s got a legend of its own.\u00a0 Tessie is a sea monster, along the lines of Nessie or the Kodiak Sea Monster, who lives in the lake.\u00a0 She’s spotted surfacing in June of every other year, with her next appearance coming up in 2020.<\/p>\n

Now that you know some of the supernatural happenings of Nevada, beware this Halloween!<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
