Geocache Description:

ExploreWV's
Haunted Challenge

Laughing Boys


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.

Along the Cacapon River in the town of Cacapon Bridge exists the tragic accident of an 11-year-old boy who died in the river during a 1892 “Boys Washtub Race” that took place as part of a church picnic. According to a local newspaper, the boy drowned and his body was never recovered. Since then, stories have been told of loud thumping on fishing boats and the distinct sound of boys laughing. There have also been reports that a lifeless body is sometimes seen in the river, but when a rescue is attempted, the body disappears.

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 MagicFingers.usa for placing and maintaining this geocache.
