The North Walk will take you through the oldest section of the former West Virginia Penitentiary. We will lead you to North Hall cellblock, the Boiler Room, Psych Ward, and Infirmary.
These areas are also known as the areas with the most paranormal activity, a place where murders, violence and brutality were common everyday occurrences.
You will enter this part of the prison through the original front porch and take a turnabout on the “Wheel”
The North Walk is NOT an attraction, but a flashlight tour of an area that was once considered one of the bloodiest institutions in the nation.
The North Walk is not a staged attraction. You will not see Halloween props or have any actors scare you. The North Walk is a guided tour led by one of our seasonal tour guides. You will hear real stories of the former penitentiary during it’s 129 years of operation and a few paranormal accounts after the decommission.
There will be no lights on for this event. Just you, your group, and our tour guide. Please bring your own flashlight.
This event is NOT wheelchair accessible. There are staircases, steps, uneven floors, and low ceilings in some areas.
IF you are late, you will not be guaranteed entrance. We will try to work you into another open group, but if we are sold out, there will be nothing we can do.
There are NO refunds on any ticket sales.
If you are planning on attending the Dungeon of Horrors the same night, you MUST schedule to do the North Walk first for timing purposes. When scheduling to do both events, you will want to give yourself at least an hour and 15 minutes in between each event. The Dungeon can fall behind schedule, so we highly recommend scheduling to do the North Walk first.
Tickets must be purchased online.

You will be considered a risk to yourself, other participants, and our property. If alcohol consumption is suspected, you will be removed from, or denied entry to, the event and not issued a refund.
