We thought as a fan of The Psychic Coffee Shop, you would be especially interested in knowing about this event.
Located in Weston, WV Trans-Allegheny is a gothic era 250-bed mental hospital that operated from 1864 until its closure in 1994.
In 2007 was purchased and has subsequently been a local tourist attraction for those both fascinated with the building itself, and the patients that were treated there.
Some of whom are claimed to still walk the halls.
Originally opened as the height of modern mental healthcare in its time, by the 1950s the number of patients housed there far exceeded its original plan by an order of magnitude, eventually peaking at 2,400 patients in the 1950s.
From hope for those suffering acute and severe mental illness, it eventually became a horror in its own right and a showcase of everything that was wrong with the mental healthcare system in the United States.
From SyFy’s Ghost Hunters to Travel Chanel’s Destination fear, the rich history of this building, and the experiences people have had there, keep this a popular destination for those who like to explore all things paranormal.
