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! Definitely check out our Instagram (@hauntedorhoaxpod). We post all photos and videos talked about in the show there!
