Ghost Story at the Clown Motel
Listen to Rebecca tell a ghost story inspired by the paranormal sightings at the motel over the years, while putting yourself in the position of a guest at this famously haunted motel.
History of Tonopah and the Clown Motel
Listen to Pat give the history of Tonopah as a town. The story of how it started is fascinating, as is the story of how the cemetery next to motel started. So many people were buried there in such a short time, it was only open for a few years. The history of the motel itself is also odd and a bit mysterious.
Time for the debate!
Join Pat and Rebecca for a good old fashioned debate on the paranormal activity reported at the Clown Motel by guests and employees over the years. Both lay out their best case, but who do you believe?
