Haunted West Virginia: Ghosts and Strange Phenomena of the Mountain State

Eerie tales from the Mountain State, including the restless spirits of Harpers Ferry, the legendary Mothman, the ghosts of Twistabout Ridge, and more.

Things that go bump in the night, disembodied voices, footsteps in an empty stairwell, an icy hand on your shoulder . . . let your imagination run wild as you read about West Virginia’s most extraordinary apparitions, sinister spooks, and bizarre beasts. You may know of the haunted Blennerhassett Hotel or the headless ghost of George Van Meter, but perhaps you haven’t you heard about: • The strangled bride whose ghostly visits led a jury to convict her husband of murder • Point Pleasant’s long history of tragedies, mysterious events, and natural disasters that have plagued the area ever since Scioto Shawnee Chief Cornstalk cursed the ground • A pretty blonde hitchhiker who died crossing a washed-out bridge and continues to guide drivers to avoid the same fate • Moundsville’s old state penitentiary, which is considered to be one of the most haunted places in West Virginia
