Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, WV
A ghost-hunting tour, the West Virginia Witches Ball and The Asylum haunted house are coming to the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston.
A former psychiatric hospital, the asylum opened in 1864. The main building is one of the largest hand-cut stone masonry buildings in the country. At its peak, the hospital was home for 2,400 patients. Some paranormal enthusiasts consider the site to be among the most haunted locations in America.
Scare Asylum is a special ghost-hunting event scheduled on Sept. 19. Participants will investigate the asylum with several ghost-connected television personalities, including Rob Demarest of “GHI,” Kristyn Gartland of “Taps,” “Ghost Hunters” and “Psychic Kids,” Chip Coffey of “Paranormal States” and Chris Fleming of “Dead Famous and Unknown Magazine.”
The activities begin at 7 p.m. with a one-hour question-and-answer session followed by group investigations of the asylum. The event concludes at 6 a.m.
As a premium option, Coffey will conduct a “crossing over” group gallery reading for a limited number of participants. Cost for the overnight event, including the gallery reading, is $240.

I am not surprised to hear they are doing this. I went on a ghost hunt there with my boyfriend, his brother and his brother GF last year. The website assured us that the group would be limited but when we got there it was obvious they had not limited the registrations at all.
Also the broke us into groups for the ghost hunt which meant you didn’t get any time to explore alone – all in all it was a big diappointment especially for what it cost.
Chris Fleming screaming FRAUD! Hahahaaaa LMAO! Isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black? Well, its all karma, Chris you cheat people in the paranormal all the time…how does it feel? I know asked your ghost box or the magic K2 reader, which goes off for YOU anytime the cameras are rollin. Suck it up and stop crying already.
We stand and clap our hands and cheer for Janice in California!! So true, so true! Whats the matter Mr Fleming they couldn’t cough up money that I’m sure you requested or was it just not enough money for you, so you call it a fraud. You my friend are the biggest fake out there. You’re a ghosthunter, now a psychic, whats it going to be next year, I know, you’ll be the one that captures the newest bigfoot or ufo video, or whatever is HOT at the time that you can milk for cash!
