West Virginia Penitentiary

West Virginia Penitentiary (Moundsville, West Virginia)

PoetStar1979 recommends this site: “You really ought to visit the old West Virginia State Penitentiary in Moundsville, WV. I went there a few times and it’s fantastic! If you liked Eastern State in PA, you’d LOVE Moundsville! 🙂 MTV did an episode of ‘Fear’ there, as well, but it was sorta fake… like the part where they make the person go into the room with the electric chair and take the sheet off of it… that was totally set up. The Chair is actually on display in the main entrance! But, you have to see this beautiful building.”

About Comtesse DeSpair

The Comtesse DeSpair sits in sullen silence in The Castle DeSpair, obsessively reflecting upon the horrible void in which we exist. In her spare time (of which she has nothing but), she collects morbid trinkets and reads voraciously about the history of torture. She stores her trinkets in The Asylum Eclectica (http://asylumeclectica.com/). The Comtesse is hideously disfigured and thickly veiled at all hours. Once, an unfortunate servant caught a glimpse beneath the veil and was driven to madness. The Comtesse loves thunderstorms, darkness, and solitude.
