Private ghost-lore walking tours
Take your group through stories of railroad ghosts and the Mothman era.
Haunted Parkersburg
Haunted Parkersburg offers private guided walks through the city’s ghost stories and local lore, including its Indrid Cold tradition. The experience is storytelling along a real urban route, not a jump-scare attraction. Founder Susan Sheppard died in 2021; the current team page identifies her daughter Scarlet as proprietor and names the local guides continuing the tours.
