Afterlife with no parole. If you die in prison, your soul stays in
prison. At least that's what many inmates believed. 998 murders and
suicides combined with 85 hangings and 9 electrocutions all make
for a dark and violent past. The Cincinnati Ohio Enquirer called it
a "Hell On Earth" in 1886. The New York Times branded it as "One of
the Most Violent in the Country." Inmates called it "Bloody Alley"
and for good reasons. The Haunted History of the West Virginia Pen
is brought to light by Paranormal Investigator, Haunted Heartland
Tours owner and author, Sherri Brake. Built in 1866 in Moundsville,
West Virginia and situated on 10 acres, this mammoth fortress held
some of the country's worst criminals. Explore Moundsville's bloody
frontier history, the Grave Creek Mound, the building of the Pen,
and the Wardens. Read first hand accounts from past guards and
inmates along with newspaper articles, some collected from over 100
years ago. Accounts of executions, torture, escapes and notorious
inmates are revealed. Examine over 100 ghostly accounts as
paranormal investigators look for Shadow Men, ghosts and proof of
the afterlife. Check out the Paranormal Directory and Vocabulary
section. Use the Paranormal Guide to the Pen to help you
investigate on site or simply read about the Sugar Shack, the
Boiler Room and North Hall, all from the safety of your chair. This
book is an excellent resource for gaining insight on the history
and hauntings of this gothic prison. It is a first hand look into
the dark dimensions of one of America's most haunted locations.
