Ghost Tours 2010

Over the years since the Historic Battle of Guyandotte where the Rebs and Yankees met on the bridge. Stories of sightings, much stranger than our simple reality, have slowly emerged as the quaint houses sit with their narrow streets around the 200 year old town of Guyandotte, WV.

Stories of Rebel and Yankee soldiers, moving again in battle, across the roads and paths near the bridge where they once marched, fought, and died...?

Tales seen through a hole into time and the horrible scenes of Civil War confrontations around Guyandotte and perhaps beyond...?

Tales of hushed whispers and screams of men and women long dead yet somehow agonizingly held forever captives by their Civil War deeds?

Ghost Tours after Dark will be conducted by Huntington Paranormal Society in the town who just celebrated its' 200th birthday ...

A "Lady in Black", eternally trapped perhaps as punishment. Was it merely fate or a lost love that brings her back again and again? Maybe you can tell, visit Swinefest 2010's Historic Guyandotte's Ghost Tours to see for yourself September 9-10-11, 2010.

Could it be ghostly apparitions come back to remind and tell us, in one way or another, that they are not to be forgotten for what they did here. . . not forgotten,  no siree!

We heard tales of unexplainable sightings, entity activity, or maybe it was a ghostly echo from a time long past but when you put them all together they perhaps might mean that Guyandotte may very well be one of the most haunted towns in America or maybe not...?

Now, armed with these eerie handed down stories, some in and a few that aren't in books - our knowledgeable Swinefest Ghost Tour guides, from the Huntington Paranormal Society, will take you after dark through the sections of the ancient town that were once battlefields nearly 13 decades ago. Travel through the darkened narrow streets with old houses and buildings where it's been told is not as quiet as it somehow should be?

Hear about the Marshall University College campus just west of Guyandotte where the soldiers once passed or perhaps where the wounded lay moaning as they suffered horribly as some of them were waiting to become corpses themselves. Then their bodies might goto the old cemetery just across from the Methodist Church where the Civil War dead now lie. . . but sometimes not so peacefully ....or perhaps not? 

Tales of disembodied voices, a child has been spotted a century after his death to mention just a few in a 200 yr old Historic Guyandotte area nestled at the mouth of Guyandotte into the Ohio River. 

See the old clapboard 207 year old Methodist church where perchance field amputations were performed and blood ran freely on the old wooden floor...?

Maybe an undertaker walks the old Civil War cemetery just across the street form the little white church hunting for a spot standing under a Giant spreading tree where graves lie guarded under it's massive protective limbs…?

I hear the church was used by both sides, at different times of course, as an armory/hospital whose grounds became final resting places for the dead.
