Have you ever taken the tour? Creepy place. But fun. The Lunatic Asylum is another WV creepy treasure.

I grew up on the other side of the river, and took the tour almost 20 years ago. At one point in the tour, the guide locked us all 3 into our own cells to give us a taste of how it feels. The others in my group (my parents) were released after a few seconds, but the guide couldn’t get my cell open. I was hoping he couldn’t get it open without help, and then I’d be the lead story on channel 7 (Wheeling) and channel 9 (Steubenville). I’d be famous! He managed to force it open somehow after a few minutes. Otherwise, the tour was very interesting and well worth the money.
