It was called Bloody Alley for a reason

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 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.

AFTERLIFE WITH NO PAROLE
998 murders
85 hangings
9 electrocutions
If you die in prison, your soul stays in prison. At least that's what many inmates believed. 998 murders and suicides combined with 85 hangings and 9 electrocutions all make for a dark and violent past. The Cincinnati Ohio Enquirer called it a "Hell On Earth" in 1886. The New York Times branded it as "One of the Most Violent in the Country". Inmates called it "Bloody Alley" and for good reasons. The Haunted History of the West Virginia Pen is brought to light by Paranormal Investigator, Haunted Heartland Tours owner and author, Sherri Brake. Get the book before you do your overnight hunt! If you forget to get one, we will have them for sale that night. Sherri can sign a book and personalize if you like.
