The Most Haunted Hotel in West Virginia
Augur’s mother recently regaled us with some tales of her childhood deep in West Virginia coal country, and inspired us to go in search of a few Appalachian legends.
We began our trip in Parkersburg, the perfect gateway to the heartland of the state.
It is adorned with a host of nineteenth century spires that make it impossibly picturesque at sunset, and its history as a rail hub explains the presence of the decadent Blennerhassett Hotel.
Staying there gave us an excuse to check out a place described as “The Most Haunted Hotel Room in West Virginia.”
Our thanks to the hotel staff who put up with us running all over their building looking for ghosts.
Did they engineer an encounter for us?
Maybe.
But, if so, we aren’t complaining.
Next stop, the Green Bank Observatory! win.
As always, a huge thank you to our staff, present and past, for indulging us.
