The North Walk will take you through the oldest part of the former West Virginia Penitentiary. • It is also known as the area with the most paranormal activity, a place where murders, violence and brutality were common everyday occurrences. This was where the most dangerous inmates were housed, the maximum security area, North Hall; the inmates called it – The Alamo. • You will enter this part of the prison through the “Administration Building” and the “wheel” – these areas have been closed to the public for years and only opened for the Haunted House season. 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. If you are planning on attending the Dungeon of Horrors the same night, you MUST schedule to do the North Walk first. Duration Groups go every 20 minutes! It will take you at least 45 minutes to get through this guided tour.
