West Virginia Penitentiary 

The West Virginia Penitentiary in Moundsville is one of the state’s most chilling attractions. This gothic fortress housed inmates from 1876 to 1995, and today it offers everything from guided history tours to full-on paranormal investigations. Want to really test your nerve? Book an overnight ghost hunt, or try your hand at one of the themed escape rooms. Daytime tours are available if you’d rather leave the ghosts to someone else.
