North Walk
Guided Paranormal Walk through the some of the oldest and most active parts of our facility. This 45-minute tour is only offered during our haunted house season.

Ticket sales are LIMITED! We’ve lowered our customer capacity. Buying tickets online is the only way to guarantee your entrance into the North Walk!

The North Walk will take you through the oldest part of the former West Virginia Penitentiary.

It is also known as the area with the most paranormal activity, a place where murders, violence and brutality were common everyday occurrences. This was where the most dangerous inmates were housed, the maximum security area, North Hall; the inmates called it – The Alamo.

You will enter this part of the prison through the “Administration Building” and the “wheel” – these areas have been closed to the public for years and only opened for the Haunted House season. The North Walk is NOT an attraction, but a flashlight tour of an area that was once considered one of the bloodiest institutions in the nation.

The North Walk is not a staged attraction. You will not see Halloween props or have any actors scare you. The North Walk is a guided tour led by one of our regular tour guides. You will hear real stories of the prison and have the opportunity to experience real paranormal activity. There will be no lights on for this event. Just you, your group, our tour guide, and a flashlight.

This event is NOT wheelchair accessible.

IF you are late, you will not be guaranteed entrance. We will try to work you into another open group, but if we are sold out, there will be nothing we can do.

There are NO refunds on any ticket sales.

Escape the Pen: The Execution
In a surprising move, the Governor of West Virginia has ordered a one-hour stay of execution for an inmate at the West Virginia State Penitentiary. Inmate Lefty Lafferty was scheduled to be put to death today, but in a bizarre turn of events, the Governor halted the electric chair execution due to new information that was received just hours ago. Details are not available, but a source close to the administration has said that a special investigative team is being dispatched to the Penitentiary.

The Governor received an anonymous tip, rumored to have been sent via fax, that listed details about the crime Lefty is being charged with – our source indicated that there are details included that no one could have known. After brief consideration, the execution has been halted for one hour.
