Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum Tours

Supposedly haunted and from the looks of it quite possible. Scary place to visit. #mybackyard #trovember

If you like creepy and history you must go here. The town of Weston is small, the Asylum is in the center of town. It was operated from 1864 until 1994 by the government of the U.S. state of West Virginia, in the city of Weston. If you would like to know more go here. http://www.trans-alleghenylunaticasylum.com

This place is very big, the tour took two hours and still did not see everything. We did experience some strange things like cold spots, being touched and a blinking ball that came out of no where. Ghost Adventures had just filmed their show at the Asylum before we got there. They had left tape X on the floors so they would not get lost in this huge place.

The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, subsequently the Weston State Hospital, was a Kirkbride psychiatric hospital that was operated from 1864 until 1994 by the government of the U.S. state of West Virginia, in the city of Weston.

A restored wing on the first floor. These would have have been single rooms until the population increased and they held 2-3 people each. The hallways and common areas were furnished in a way to make them look 'homey'. The residents in this wing would been the 'nonviolent' mentally ill
