From the column 'Photos From Beyond'Halfway between Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada, the Clown Motel is located in the quiet desert town of Tonopah. Long-rumored to be a hot-spot of paranormal activity, the clown-filled motel is set alongside a cemetery, home to dead gold miners–the victims of a plague in 1902, and a mine-fire in 1911.
