Officials for the West Virginia Division of Tourism are taking applications for a new Haunted West Virginia Trail they want to offer tourists.
From their site:
The Mountain State has its share of ghosts, spirits and supernatural stories. Reported ghosts of civil war soldiers, tragic deaths and murder victims seeking justice from beyond the grave. This is why we decided to develop a map to help visitors plan their haunted journey.
Do you have a site that you want considered for the haunted West Virginia Trail? Submit the completed application below for consideration.
To be considered for the trail, all locations must be open or accessible to the public and promoted as being a haunted or alien site by the property owners or local officials if on public land.
Applications are accepted online at this link: http://gotowv.com/haunted-trail-application/
Four Famous West Virginia Haunts
As far as freaky haunted places and creepy supernatural stories go, it’s no joke that West Virginia has some doozies to brag about.
It is home to four particularly chilling ones that you’ll often find on “Most Haunted Places” lists. Such as:
1. The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, as well as obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of healing, to learn how she channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.
