Geocache Description:

ExploreWV's
Haunted Challenge


Morris Memorial


Photobucket



ExploreWV’s third geocaching series is Haunted WV, which takes geocachers to 20 of the Mountain State’s spookiest locations – that’s asylums, prisons, cemeteries, and much more. Some of these cache sites have even been featured on TV shows such as SyFy’s Ghost Hunters, TLC’s Ghost Adventures, and MTV’s Fear.

Keeping with ExploreWV tradition, there will be a challenge associated with the Haunted WV series. If you choose to complete the challenge, you must “collect the ghosts” in each geocache and place them on an official Haunted WV Bingo Card. The first 100 people to complete the challenge will be awarded a limited-edition Haunted WV t-shirt so you can let everyone know that you’ve been spooked in West Virginia. (Limited sizes available)

To register for the Haunted WV series and to download your Haunted WV Bingo Card, visit us online at Geocache WV. You may also add us on Facebook at Explore WV.

Morris Memorial Hospital, located in Milton, was completed in the late 1930s and was designated a home for children with specialization in crippling disabilities. The hospital operated strongly until 1955 when the polio vaccine was invented and the demand for the hospital decreased. In its later years, Morris Memorial was used as a nursing home until its eventual closing. Today, the structure sits abandoned with its future unknown. However, the few who have dared venture through its doors question if the hospital is really abandoned. Reports say that paranormal entities lurk in the hospital’s basement and shadow people and apparitions are commonly seen. Anomalies are also known to show up on photos taken on the grounds and inside the hospital.

Please use etiquette and be courteous when geocaching and place the container exactly where you found it. If there are any problems with the cache including maintenance alerts, please inform ExploreWV as soon as possible. Do not wander far from the cache site and be aware that some of these locations may not be suitable for the faint of the heart.

Special thanks to ScubaDude for placing and maintaining this geocache.
