No. 1: Trans-Allegheny Asylum

When Virginians decided to rid themselves of their "insane," they determined that moving them west of the Alleghenies would prove the best solution. And, so, at Weston, in what was soon to become West Virginia, construction of one of the most fantastic buildings in the U.S. began. The psychologically troubled brought with them a host of troubling energies, according to parapsychologists. Today the facility, which became the Weston State Hospital, has become a museum as well as a destination for seekers of the supernatural known as the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum.
