Many people might not know that www.wvghosts.com has been around since 1999. Long before it was "cool" or widely accepted to be a paranormal investigator. The founder of the site Jonathan Moore created West Virginia Ghosts. He was intrigued by not only his experiences but mostly from other's accounts of their greetings from beyond the grave, he wanted to find a way to showcase these tales. Being a computer programmer, he built and designed the site we log onto everyday. The site was to be a collection of ghost stories and urban legends for the state of West Virginia. It then grew from just those stories to a Message Board, collection of sightings, and paranormal advice. Then in 2003, the server crashed. Jonathan then had to rebuild this website even when others said it was not going to go anywhere, it has now grown to over 500 plus members. With the age of MySpace, it has grown on there as well with a friend's list of almost 1,500. He thanks the members and friends of West Virginia Ghosts for making it what it is today.
To provide the public with untampered with, unedited proof of the paranormal. To provide the truth and facts when reporting about a haunting. We do not condone nor permit fakes, edited (unless for enhancing or zooming to make the anomaly more visible in the photo), fabrications or non-accurate accounts. We do not condone nor use Ouija Boards or séances to communicate with spirits or entities. These devices are best left to those who can and want to take on that responsibility. We also do not condone nor permit any team member to trespass on private property without prior consent nor do we believe it is a good idea to be in a condemned building for safety's sake of all team members.
The West Virginia Ghosts website is full of true ghost stories submitted by those who have either lived in or been to the state of West Virginia. There are over 400 true accounts of encounters with ghosts, infamous monsters, aliens or encounters with the other realm. The website also contains a photo gallery with photos submitted by posters of the Message Board, book reviews, movie listings, daily horoscope, Ghosts 101 for those interesting in investigating, announcements along with paranormal news. The Message Board includes areas for Beginners to the Advanced. There is a place to ask questions on the board and through Dear DaVine which is West Virginia Ghosts' Dear Abby with a paranormal twist. We welcome one and all to join the board, where membership is always free.
