The West Virginia Penitentiary located in Moundsville, West Virginia not only provides visitors with a wealth of history, but some also say it is called home to several resident ghosts.

At one stage of it's history the facility was ranked by the U.S. Department of Justice as one of the top ten most violent correctional facilities in the country. Conditions began to deteriorate even more in the 1950s when overcrowding once again became a major problem.

Three prisoners were often forced into a 5 x 7-foot cell!

During its 119-year life as a penitentiary, the facility held some of the most violent killers, rapists, and other criminals, many of whom never left the institution alive.

It comes as no surprise that this type of environment would leave behind more than a few wandering spirits.

Find out more about the wandering spirits of the Western States Penitentiary in this episode of the True Hauntings Podcast.
