Join us, as we stroll over the quaint streets of downtown Parkersburg, West Virginia covering its haunted history and famous paranormal tales. Listen as the tour guides tell you stories of the Banshee of Marrtown, the East End Ghoul, tales of the West Virginia Mothman, the Men in Black and the November 2nd, 1966 appearance of the alien Indrid Cold (featured in "The Mothman Prophecies" book and movie) one mile south of the city limits of Parkersburg.

See actual places possessed by spirits, and haunted houses along the route, and pass by a haunted graveyard to hear to tales from within. Listen to famous accounts of railroad ghosts, Civil War spirits, Island haunts, and various supernatural stories unique to Parkersburg only.

The ghost tour takes approximately two hours and the walk is under two miles, but at a leisurely pace so you can enjoy the beautiful scenes and mysterious atmosphere. As always, the walk begins at the historic Blennerhassett Hotel in the downtown business district of Parkersburg. Tour meets at 7:30 p.m. in the lobby of the hotel. Haunted Parkersburg nor the Blennerhassett Hotel are not responsible for lost items or accidents. So join the tour at your own risk.

In 2008, Haunted Parkersburg was voted #10 in the nation by the Haunted America Tours. We are a small city in western West Virginia located along the Ohio River. We do want to strongly remind tour goers that since we do not take reservations (unless it is a privately booked tour) by early October the crowds are heavy. We begin our tour in the downtown section of Parkersburg which is noisy from large trucks and other traffic. Please do not get upset if it is difficult to hear the very first story. We will gladly repeat anything you miss. We do our best, but we can do nothing about noisy traffic. Please be patient as the noise will soon leave as we go into the older, historical and more haunted sections of the city. Be advised the walk is a long one. Also, we do not go inside private homes and neither does any other ghost tour. At times we pick and choose our stories according to the crowds. We cannot tell every story we have. So, if there is a story we missed and you want to hear it, just ask the tour guide. We will happily do your story. Our ghost tour is led by people who have studied history & the paranormal for years.

Here is what you need to know before joining the ghost tour. 1) No reservations are required for regular scheduled tours. 2) No alcohol allowed so this means absolutely no drunks. 3) Please keep in mind while the ghost tour is in full swing, it will be noisy and there will be huge crowds. If you do not enjoy large crowds, consider booking a private ghost tour for your family or group. You will need to have at least 8 people. 4) Bring a flashlight, wear warm clothing and comfortable shoes. 5) This is a long walk, so be prepared. 6) We don't recommend strollers, wheelchairs or crutches because of hilly areas. 7) The tour lasts 1-2 hours.
