June 6, 2014 Gillum House Bed & Breakfast Shinnston, West Virginia: Several years ago, guests booked the night tour and then decided to go back the next day for the day tour. When they returned from the day’s outing, we asked them of it (since they did both tour) was worth the money. They looked at each other as if to check the other’s opinion, and responded, “YES!” Last year I took my daughter who is “into” paranormal sites on the night tour – she loved it and I found it very interesting. (It was safe for me to go there now that “it is just a tour”.)#2 – Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum – Construction of the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum took place between 1858 and 1881. After the Civil War, the State of Virginia sued the State of West Virginia for the costs of the existing buildings – and won! Opened to take patients in 1864, the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum was in use as a mental hospital until 1994 under the name Weston State Hospital. The original name was restored when it was opened to the Public for tours. There are day tours, night tours, and overnight tours available.
