đź”´ A HAUNTING in VIRGINIA CITY | INFAMOUS HAUNTED SPITE HOUSE
In Search of the Paranormal LIVE · November 5, 2026 · 2:08:34
Join Tim Wood, Lillian Alquist and the LiveSciFi team inside the Spite House in Virginia City, Nevada, for this November 5, 2026 investigation. The narrow gap between neighboring homes gives the location its distinctive setting, while resident Adam introduces a collection of antiques and oddities and recounts experiences associated with the house.
We follow the investigation through dowsing rods, tarot interpretations, REM-Pod responses and TriField readings. Recorder sessions and spirit-box sounds lead to playback and discussion, including responses participants interpret as the name “Matilda.” The chapter list identifies these as reports and interpretations and separates earlier stories from events discussed during the live session.
Later, a blindfolded experiment uses a bioacoustic sound device and a hidden-word test. Adam describes sensations and impressions, and the team revisits parts of the recording. The indexed moments let you return to the equipment demonstrations, participant reports and playback discussions in their original sequence.
For the location’s background, read our article on the history of spite houses and Virginia City’s Spite House. It examines competing origin stories and the surrounding Comstock mining district; those historical accounts provide context for the location, rather than a description of what happened during this investigation.
