a mode of travel. The building has changed owners several times after unfortunate tragedies. There
have been numerous deaths on the grounds and locals prefer not to discuss its history. Self guided

During the excavation for the original mansion in 1871, workmen discovered bones from a human
hand. After further digging, they unearthed well over 70 unmarked graves on the land that was deemed
to be the Demon House. It is a Mansion that literally feeds upon itself. Following a horrible incident in
1894, the house was boarded up and it remained empty until 2004.
The new owners of the house discovered the land that the mansion now sits upon was used as a burial
ground for a civilization that once populated the land of Monongahela , Pennsylvania . Here’s your

The West Virginia Penitentiary was built with convict labor on a flat partial of land surrounded by

the prison. This Former West Virginia Penitentiary housed some of the most violent criminals in history.
You’ll be introduced to one of the scariest places behind bars! You will experience the fright of being
locked up in a cell, the fear of being lost in a maze and the terror of an eerie walk through the
underground dungeon of horrors! The prison is known to have one of the highest levels of paranormal
activity in the United States .
The producers of MHC toured the prison in August 08 and while exploring the basement; one person in
our group felt someone playing with her hair. Not only did she run out of the area, but she refuses to
go to the broiler room again!
We will offer a prison ghost tour of the upper floors in the afternoon, followed by a catered dinner in the
