June 8 1984 i arrived as a inmate and i have experienced several sitings of floating light balls, light flashes, coldspots, ghostly whispers, and staring chills. Its definately a spirit filled place.

If you aren’t from West Virginia, you really need to check this place out. I went to there and felt presence and a sense of anger and hate! As I took the tour, it keep get really cold and once in a while I would get sick to my stomach. It was an intense feelings. I’m can’t really say if I saw anything or if it was something from the corner of my eye but I know what I felt.

To: Whom it may concern
Fr: Lt. Richard L, Littell Acting Cheif Correctional Officer Closeing the West Virginia Penn.I was the last one out of the door at the closeing.

Let it be known. I enjoy the stories that have been told. I would like to know where they came from. I worked at W.V.P. for twenty three years filling the ranks in numerous positions. I have been throughout the entire facility all hours of the night and day. I started work at the Penn, January 17th, 1973 and worked there until I sent the last inmate out of there. True you get feelings that someone is watching you. This was all the time you were making your rounds and security checks. I knew the so called maintenance man. His name was R. D. Waugh and this happened in 1979 before the twelve inmates escaped. He knew how the pistol came in and the other inmates were afraid that he would tell. His best buddies are the two that done him in. I can tell you true stories not something that didn’t happen that are being reported. Yours truely Rich Littell. (Retired)

@Kimmeh
Yes this is very possible. If a spirit/apparition is in much distress on getting a message across, it can send messages to/through those who are spiritually aware. Usually the person who is recieving the message is in some way related to the one sending it. Ask someone in your family, or look and see if there is someone in your family, generations back was a prison or any other type of guard. Also, which part of West Virginia are you living, for your family may also have been close to an older prison, maybe condemed or shut down. This would result in lost spirits roaming the grounds and reaching out to any one in the living world closest to them. If you have any more questions, please email me at poisonmg@yahoo.com. Hope this helps.
