"Will I see a ghost?"
-
At Haunted Parkersburg, we pride ourselves in offering an authentic ghost tour experience. No jump scares, no theatrics. It is unlikely that you'll see a ghost with your naked eye because that is quite rare (though your camera may very well capture one!) However, our spirits manifest in various ways - smells, sounds, etc.... and they often make their presence known.
-
We'll show you the major hot spots of hauntings around the city as well as filling you in on some of Parkersburg's spookiest and most unique history. Simply follow the guides, stay on the sidewalks and let us lead the way!
