Hey ev'ryone!! this is Katharine asking if Most Haunted has ever heard of the West Virginia State Penitentiary. The West Virginia State Penitentiary is a retired, Gothic style prison located in Moundsville, West Virginia. It operated from 1876 to 1995. Currently, the site is maintained as a tourist attraction and training facility. It is said to be haunted.From 1899 to 1959, ninety-four men were executed. Hanging was the method of execution until 1949 with eighty-five men meeting that fate. Beginning in 1951, electrocution became the means of execution. Ironically, the electric chair used by the prison was originally built by an inmate there. Nine men died in the chair until the state outlawed execution entirely in 1959. The original chair is on display in the facility and is a part of the official tour. Ya'll should come out and investigate while you are in the United States. By the way, love the show, I watch it every Friday night. Good Luck and God bless the whole Most Haunted team. Hope to see ya'll in West Virginia soon.

If the owners of WVSP ask MH too they might if they ask TAPS they probably will.

They probably won't ask either show. Besides, I think MTV's FEAR already filmed there.
