Moundsville Penitentiary’

Haunted Location Moundsville Prison
by ghostmap

The Moundsville prison was built  in 1866, just three years after West Virginia was admitted to the Union. The prison remained open for 129 years, finally closing down in 1995. During that time, the structure housed thousands of prisoners. Many lost their lives here, through both state sanctioned executions and during prison violence.

The first ghost I learned of that lives here is named Jack. He stays in the cafeteria and all in all is a friendly spirit.

If visiting after dark stay away from the Chapel. It has around 30 ghosts including a cousin of former inmate Charles Manson. These ghosts in the chapel are just plain dangerous.
