Joyce Cole is a descendant of the notorious "Donner Party."
While she was working in various stores in Virginia City, when she would tell customers stories about a sheriff in the past who would flat out shoot and torture his prisoners, cigar smoke would appear and follow around her, which would cause some customers to leave scared. Joyce had other experiences in a couple stores she worked in, including being tapped on the shoulder when no one was there. Joyce claimed that pretty much all of Virginia City is haunted.
