The Knights of Pythias Building, also known as the Knights of Pythias Hall is an historic Knights of Pythias lodge hall located in Virginia City, Nevada. It was built of cast iron and stuccoed brick in 1876 by Nevada Lodge No. 1 of the Knights of Pythias, which had had been formed on March 23, 1873. It was also used the by the city's other Knights of Pythias lodges: Lincoln Lodge No. 6 (formed in 1874), and Triumph Lodge No. 11 formed in 1879. It is one of the few unaltered false-fronted buildings remaining in Virginia City. The Knights of Pythias Building is a contributing property in the Virginia City Historic District which was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1961 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1966. Like many fraternal buildings, the upper floor was used for the lodge hall while the first floor was rented out.

At 7pm on Sat. 04-10-2010 we started the investigation of the Knights of Pythias In Virginia City,  investigators present at this investigation were: Bert (founder),  Emillio,  Nicole,  Chris (psychic), and guest investigator's Linda and Jessie Downs from Northern Nevada Paranormal.

We spread out and covered the main floor and the second floor (where the meetings were held) and proceed to take pictures and try for EVP, this continued until about 10pm when we tried using the franks box in the room next to the rear of the main floor and got some good response's from some "entities".  At about 11pm we decided to wrap it up and got the equipment packed in the van,   (we cut the investigation short due too the noise factor of the "Clampers" Initiation party that was going on next door).

Nothing was found on the DVR (IR camera set up) and only 3 pictures were of anything that was a possible "paranormal" experience, but we did get a number of EVP's some of which are below.
 

We would like to thank the owners of the Knights of Pythias building, (Steve and Catherine H) for the opportunity to do this investigation and look forward to doing another one there soon.

 

When listening to EVP's It is always best to use headphones
