Whitegate Cemetery
Aptly called “The Tombs of the Unclaimed Prisoners”. This is the final resting place for dozens of prisoners from the West Virginia Penitentiary who had no claims to their remains after their passing. Please note: Cemetery closes at dusk. Do not trespass on private property. Water crossing *on foot* to get into the cemetery.
The Ross House
Investigate during a 2-hour tour or stay the night, if you dare! The Ross House was built in 1895 and sits on a lae line. The area was an active battle grounds during the French and Indian War and later in history there was a tragic mine fire that claimed the lives of 42 men. Many lingering spirits make themselves known in the house.
