Travel Nevada recounts that the Lady in Red is believed to have been a prostitute who lived in room 502, on the top floor of the hotel. The sophisticated Mizpah, with its brass fixtures and elegant oak tables, was still a frontier hotel, a bridge between modern Nevada and the Old West; the management seem to have been indifferent to their rooms being kept by ladies of the night. In any event, the Red Lady was choked and then stabbed by a jealous ex-lover, just in the doorway of her suite — or so the story goes.
Visitors to room 502, or to the Lady-in-Red-themed adjoining rooms next door, have long reported eerie, uneasy feelings as they approach the spot of the lady's murder. Men have reported hearing a disembodied voice in the elevator, whispering sweetly, "Hey, you." According to Buzzfeed, she may not be alone: a bevy of other ghosts reportedly haunt the rooms and corridors of the Mizpah. Two miners thump away in the basement. Unseen children giggle and run on the fourth floor. Perhaps the Mizpah really is the most haunted place in America.
