59. Trans-Allegheny Asylum
Almost Heaven- definitely not Pennsylvania. This week we were actually in West Virginia, talking about another very popular haunt! The Trans-Allegheny Asylum is also known as Weston Hospital. It's old, it's sad, and so it's relatable. It also is supposedly haunted by a little girl, two murder victims, AND something called a creeper. We talk about its long history and try to suss out if a $100 ghost tour would be worth your while. We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podcast by rating and reviewing on apple and NOW on Spotify! Don't forget to check our show notes for our social links!
