The original purpose of Theresa's Haunted History was to provide the most accurate and comprehensive list of haunted locations and verified ghost stories throughout the state of West Virginia. In addition to historical and paranormal profiles, I've also tried to include links to additional resources where applicable. I encourage all who are interested to conduct their OWN research, and send me any corrections, updates, or new locations! As you know, this field is a dynamic one. Not only do my skills as a researcher continue to grow over the years, so does my access to previously unavailable information. This collection of haunted places in West Virginia is an on-going project, which is constantly being updated and changed. Also, HPIR and Theresa's Haunted History do NOT condone trespassing. Please be respectful and obey all laws and ordinances if choosing to visit these locations.
So have fun, and join me on a haunted trip around the Mountain State!
