Reported Hauntings at the Black Monarch

The Black Monarch is reported to host a number of spirits. According to The Guardian, the building's owner, Adam Zimmerli, embraces the building’s reputation of being haunted by spirits of the past. Zimmerli reports multiple people have seen a woman looking out from one of the hotel’s windows, even though the building was empty.

Airbnb.com states the building is also haunted by the ghost of a miner killed in a gunfight.

The town of Victor itself is said to be home to a number of hauntings. The Guardian adds, "Strange sounds, moving objects, and the appearance of translucent miners or bordello sex workers are said to haunt the entire miniature town."

Other Explanations For The Town's Paranormal Activity

The hauntings may have something to do with the town's bloody past. When miners made efforts to organize, the mine owners reportedly turned to vicious union-busting methods. Zimmerli adds, "They hired gangsters to commit countless murders, train derailments, set fires, purposely collapse mines with people inside them."
