Telephone: 304-725-8019

WEST VIRGINIA PENITENTIARY
 
Location: 818 Jefferson Avenue                    location / map / directions
Telephone: 304-845-6200
What to expect: "Now serving as a tourist destination, this former prison once was housed some of the most violent inmates in all of the country. This ominous Gothic structure, built in 1866, stopped being an active prison in 1995 and has since been a historic landmark and tourist attraction in Moundsville, West Virginia. Touring is not the only popular reason people come to visit the West Virginia Penitentiary. Often called one of the most haunted places in America, those interested in the paranormal take advantage of the special events held at the Pen. Halloween becomes a very festive time inside those 5-foot thick walls, as guests test their mental limits against the Dungeon of Horrors. The penitentiary has proved to be a great place to learn, explore, excite, and entertain. All age groups find some value and amusement in our various offerings. You will find that there is something for everyone locked behind these doors."

See rare historical press clippings and photographs of the Silver Bridge disaster. Learn more about the historical figureheads of the Mothman legacy like John Keel, Mary Hyre, & the Scarberry & Mallete eyewitnesses. There is plenty here to be discovered.

Location: 470 Matoaka Road                    location / map / directions
Telephone: 304-921-1580
What to expect: "There’s something unnatural about this Mercer County attraction. A Native American burial ground. Violent deaths. Freak accidents. Who knew a simple amusement park could have such a dark past? Explore this creepy (maybe cursed?) land — ”one of the world’s most haunted places.” Arrange a private tour, join paranormal investigators to ghost hunt or brave the “Dark Carnival” in October."
