The route material describes the Lake Mansion, built in 1877 and relocated more than once from its original site at Virginia and California Streets, as unable to escape a violent past despite the moves. The Levy Mansion, built by businessman William Levy in the early 1900s, is presented as one of Reno's most haunted houses, with the operator citing multiple deaths on the property over its history. The Washoe County Courthouse is tied by the operator to Reno's only public execution and reported sightings connected to the condemned man.
