“Good morning ladies and gentlemen,” is the early morning greeting that bartender John Mitchell hollers to his empty historic Washoe Club.

The Washoe Club has a reputation in the ghost hunting community.

“After we were on the TV show ‘Ghost Adventures,’ our business has really picked up,” said Mitchell. “Everyone wants to see the Blue Lady.”

The Blue Lady is the resident ghost that appears as a blue smoky haze at the top of the back staircase. Mitchell hasn’t experienced the supernatural activity first hand.

“I still start every morning with ‘good morning ladies and gentlemen’ and end every night with ‘good night ladies and gentlemen.’ Just to be safe,” Mitchell said. “The supernatural activity is great.”

Resembling Buffalo Bill, Mitchell fits right in with this historic landmark.  Perhaps, he is channeling the famous western icon.
