No funny business here, well..maybe, just a little bit with the Clown Motel that is chock-full of—you guessed it—clowns. But tear your eyes away from the grinning visages of the clowns, and you’ll soon see that Tonopah has more to its haunted history than the eerie, grinning entertainers. From a cemetery filled with colorful tales to a mine that has its fair share of ghost stories, Tonopah is full of character—both past and present.
