Guest Tiger Lady Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Since were on the topic of Mothman, I thought I'd bring up a few more WV monsters such as the Flatwoods Monster. I've been there too. I'm positive I've covered the map of WV. WV is so beautiful that I've toured and stayed in several different counties and I've learned about a few myths, legends, monsters, ghost, and witches here and there. Definitely all up my alley and all of which fascinates me. This link, for all those that like to soak it up like me - lists various monsters from each county. And to anyone who would like to take a tour of WV. Here's a copied list: Barbour County The Philippi Mummies Berkeley County The Hammond Mansion Boone County Sheepsquatch Braxton County The Braxton County Monster Brooke County Sara Cabell County Ghostly Banjo Player Calhoun County The Tin Cup Clay County The Poisoned Wife Doddridge County The Headless Rider Fayette County Blume Haven Inn Gilmer CountySis Lynn Grant County The Headless Horseman Greenbrier County The Greenbrier Ghost Hampshire County Peterkin Retreat Hancock County Weirton Steel Mill Hardy County The Gamble Mansion Harrison County Flinderation Tunnel Jackson County The Pfost-Greene Murder Victims Jefferson County Screaming Jenny Kanawha County Capital Plaza Theater Lewis County Weston State Hospital Lincoln County The Harts’ Headless Man Logan County Ethel Coal Mines McDowell County Sid Hatfield’s Ghost Marion County The Witch's Grave Marshall County Moundsville State Penitentiary Mason County Mothman Mercer County Bluefield Amusement Park Mineral County Buried Treasure Mingo County Rt. 52's Ghost Soldier Monongalia County WVU’s Ghosts Monroe County Solitude Farm Morgan County The Haunted Castle in Berkeley Springs Nicholas County “Sally” Ohio County Tunnel Green Pendleton County The Purple Lady & The Peg-Legged Captain Pleasants County Ike’s Tomb Pocahontas County Droop Mountain Battlefield Preston County Kingwood Ghost Train Putnam County Scary Creek Battlefield Raleigh County Haunted Courthouse Randolph County Graceland House Ritchie County Burnt House Roane County Spencer State Hospital Summers County John Henry’s Ghost Taylor County The Telltale Lilac Bush Tucker County Darkish Knob Tyler County The Wells Inn Upshur CountyGhost Bicyclist Wayne County Ramsdell House Webster County Bighoot Wetzel County Bill White’s Wife Wirt County The Murdered Merchant Wood County Margaret Blennerhassett Wyoming County Burg Hammon Some of these spooks and monsters I know well. I've visited Droop Mountain Battlefield more times than I can count. Not only do I feel the presence of those that fought there, as I stand above there sunken graves, but I get this intense sadness that is overwhelming - if that makes any sense. And I can not contain myself at nightfall. I can't stay. Can't explain it - I just can't stay. A lot of people have heard of the Headless Horseman, the Blennerhassetts, the Hatfields and John Henry. I did have to research Big Hoot and Sheepsquatch because, well... I thought they were mispellings but there not. I am interested in Marion County Witch's grave (my county) because I'm not sure if I know that one. I do know we have a couple of ghost stories here but I don't know if this is connected to any I know. I will be googling it later. This is an amazing state with beautiful mountains but it is also a sad state with stories of abuse, depression, coal mining, and mysterious mountains - all which makes for a good ghost or monster. Oh and Dark Phoenix - the Moundsville Penitentiary is just a few counties above me. I hear its just as good as Lakin State Mental Hospital or maybe better. Actually is been debuted in several different television series when it comes to famous haunts. The most famous ghost there is the shadow man.

Guest Tiger Lady Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 On that same site that I placed a link to above is also a collection of pictures I thought someone might be interested in. These are pictures of popular haunts and some of the monsters http://www.wvspectralheritage.com/id5.html I've been to the Big Bend Tunnel - and no I didn't like it. I didn't like it at all. The energy wasn't good. Of course, anywhere there are tragic deaths - I'm not sure the energy could be anything but bad. Its not the only haunted train tunnel in this state. I do know of a couple of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
