PARKERSBURG, W.Va. (WTAP) - The Blennerhassett Hotel is 133 years old and it has the ghost stories to prove it. They’re what spawned the creation of the Haunted Blennerhassett program.
Haunted Blennerhassett Founder Adra Johnson said of the hotel, “We were actually named ‘Most Haunted in West Virginia’ by Thrillest this year, which is super exciting….number six most haunted hotel in North America by Country Living.”
Inspired by her own paranormal experiences at the hotel, Johnson founded the Haunted Blennerhassett program, kicking it into gear this year.
One of the activities it offers is ghost tours.
The most satisfying thing to me is when someone is a little bit skeptical or not into it the first half during the actual tour and then we start the equipment and you can just see their face change. You can see it light up as they start getting those interactions
The Blennerhassett Hotel & Spa offer Deluxe accommodations, fine cuisine experiences, world-class spa retreats, event spaces for business or private gatherings and curated shops.
Adam's Floral Cart Pre-order perfection with signature vases, custom bouquets, and timeless rose arrangements.
