Join Haunted Heartland Tours and author of The Haunted History of the West Virginia Penitentiary, Sherri Brake for an overnight investigation that is tailor made for the hard core ghosthunter! We secure the entire prison in Moundsville West Virginia for our own private investigation. Our prison adventure begins in Moundsville at 11:30 PM as we enter the gothic fortress that spans nearly 10 acres. We only take 45 reservations. This makes for a great investigation as some of the public hunts will have double this amount!
The price of $80 per reservation includes:
*Admission to this private WV Pen event
* Pizza at the Pen
*One hour guided Pen Tour
*Map of Pen to help you navigate
*Plenty of time to investgate on your own (about 4 hours)

*Bottled water and snacks
*Doughnuts in the morning
*Lots of coffee/pop/snacks all night!
WE ARE THE ONLY Investigators IN THE PEN ON OUR NIGHT GHOSTHUNTS
This mammoth building opened up for its first prisoners in 1866. The very first execution took place in 1899 with the end total of 85 being hanged and 9 being electrocuted in the "chair". The doors to the prison were officially closed in 1995. The Penitentiary has been named to the National Register of Historic Places and is being utilized for historical and educational tours. Numerous ghost hunts and tours have taken place throughout the years as well.
You will not want to miss this experience! Hear the history of the prison, the riots, the murders and the executions as well as stories of escapes . Join Sherri and bring a flashlight and nerves of steel!
