Nevada Governor's Mansion (1908) · Former U.S. Mint, Carson City (Nevada State Museum) · Carson City historic mansion district
US Ghost Adventures, a multi-city ghost-tour chain, operates its Carson City program under the local consumer brand 'Carson City Ghosts,' with the specific tour marketed as 'Lanterns Over Lone Mountain: Carson City Ghost Tours.' Tours meet nightly outside the Nevada Governor's Mansion, 606 Mountain St, and cover about a mile of downtown Carson City on foot over roughly an hour.
The route covers the Governor's Mansion, a Classical Revival home completed in 1908; Bliss Mansion, built by Nevada timber and railroad magnate Duane Bliss; Rinckel Mansion, a Victorian-era home known for high-society entertaining; the Brewery Arts Center, housed in a former Nevada Brewing Company building; the former U.S. Mint, which struck coins from Comstock Lode silver and gold and today houses the Nevada State Museum; and the Ferris Mansion, tied to the family of Ferris wheel inventor George Ferris Jr. The narration situates these stops within Carson City's history as Nevada's capital and a 19th-century mining boomtown founded by Abe Curry.

According to US Ghost Adventures' own tour material, the Nevada Governor's Mansion's reported haunting centers on the Dickerson family and a child spirit the operator names June, said to have been born in the home. Bliss Mansion's reported haunting is tied to the operator's account of original owner Duane Bliss continuing to oversee his estate. Rinckel Mansion's reported activity is framed around the echoes of high-society dinner parties and a 'troubled daughter.' The Brewery Arts Center's reported haunting is attributed to a former brewery worker described as keeping the place running from beyond the grave. The former Mint's reported activity is tied to founder Abe Curry and an unnamed mint worker described as having met a 'tragic end.' The Ferris Mansion's reported haunting is tied by the operator to the family of George Ferris Jr. and a 19th-century wedding-day story.
