West Virginia is famous for its mountains, nature, and scenery, but
it's also a treasure trove for tourists who prefer to visit
history's darker and stranger side. Hitch along with the author as
he visits over 60 West Virginia strange and spooky landmarks,
including the Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum and haunted
Moundsville State Prison. Learn about Charles Manson's childhood
hometown, the "Hillbilly Black Dahlia," and serial killer Harry
Powers, whose story inspired Night of the Hunter. Haunted houses,
colleges, and cemeteries, otherworldly alien encounters, cursed
amusement parks, and more are explored in detail. You'll even
discover Bat Boy's cave, Sasquatch's hideouts, werewolf country,
and read about the time Teddy Roosevelt went monster hunting. Each
location is complete with visitor information and a bounty of odd
history.
Here is a travelogue for those whose idea of a perfect vacation
doesn't involve amusement parks and tourist traps, a guidebook for
fans of horror and the macabre. Ride along with the author to
ghoulish destinations, such as where fright flicks like Friday the
13th and Jaws were filmed, Jeffrey Dahmer's childhood home, UFO
crash sites, and macabre graves, to name a few. See the sites in
over 70 vivid color photos. Fifteen states were visited from Maine
to Georgia in search of iconic filming locations from movies such
as The Exorcist, Silence of the Lambs, The Shawshank Redemption,
and The Evil Dead. Along the way, monsters were hunted, vampire
graves tracked down, a strange mix of paranormal and odd locations
across the Eastern US were visited, and Stephen King was met. Hitch
a ride, but remember that you never know what you might find--or
what might find you!
