Visit the Clown Motel “America’s Scariest Motel”

Visit the Clown Motel, one of the most chilling places in the United States.

If you are driving on I-95 or I-6 in Tonopah, Nevada and you see in the desert a giant clown juggling (illuminated if you travel at night), don´t hesitate to stop because you are in front of one of the most chilling places in America, and not only for its gloomy facade and / or clown decoration, but for its ghost story …

The Motel is located a few meters from a cemetery, so it´s said that many souls are around, including the Clown Motel.

The spookiest ghost that only appears in the motel is a clown, as many of the guests have heard his macabre laugh and some others, seen his silhouette at night.

If you are one of the people who don´t fear ghosts, but you fear clowns, we warn you that more than 600 clowns live in the motel, however, you can get to rest without worry, because we have two good news, the first one, is that the owner of the motel Bob Perchetti says they only have “happy clowns” and the second is that the clowns are only in common areas like in the Lobby, which seems to be taken from a retro horror movie.

In the rooms are clowns hanging on the door, and inside, spooky paintings and portraits of clowns, but you can hide them or ask to be taken, however, what is a little disturbing, is that some rooms face directly the cemetery, so the view of your window are hundreds of tombstones.

The motel’s rooms have a minibar, microwave, tv, air conditioning, and free Wi-Fi. Most of the guests who give their reviews, say that it´s a motel that is worth visiting, because the price is cheap, and the experience is unique, fun and spooky.

Tonopah, city of ghosts

If you dare to visit the Clown Motel, it would be worth visiting the small city of Tonopah, which looks more like a ghost town, because of its few inhabitants and its desert location.

There are many attractions around the motel that you can visit, such as the old cemetery, Mining Park, Central Nevada Museum, Stargazing (a park designed to observe the beautiful stars of the sky), as well as delicious local restaurants. And of course, if you drive a few hours, you can go to the city of lights “Las Vegas”.

If you are interested in ghosts and haunted places, the Clown Motel isn´t the only thing that will attract you from Tonopah, because there are so many ghosts in the town, that many ghostbusters are going to look for paranormal activity.

Another place where it´s said that there is also an open portal between the living and the dead, is the Mizpah Hotel, where several ghosts inhabit, such as a lady in red, an ex-lover who walks the fifth floor, playful children in the Third floor and some miners.

After knowing the chilling legends of Tonopah and the motel, would you dare to stay at the Clown Motel?
