Monique Toosoon, the Drag Queen and Paranormal Investigator with a kiss of "sensitivity". It wasn't until Covid that Monique decided to combine two of her lifelong passions: Drag and Paranormal Investigation. At an early age, Monique discovered a love for horror movies where she discovered Elvira, which not only fueled her love of horror and the paranormal, but her love of beauty and eventually drag. She is known to charge a location with her infectious energy. She has investigated some of the scariest places in the country including The Conjuring House, Wilson Castle, Sweet Springs Sanitarium, Trans Allegheny, West Virginia State Penitentiary and plans to visit many more. I am super excited to chat with Monique today about her first paranormal experiences, some of the places she has investigated and some of her scariest stories. All that plus Lisa Morton's Ghost Report on this week's Ghost Magnet with Bridget Marquardt. #WilsonCastle #ConjuringHouse #SweetSpringsSanitarium #DragQueenParanormal #GirlsNextLevel

Hello and Welcome to the Two Scaredy Cats Podcast,On this weeks episode we are discussing our trip to Pittsburg and a visit to the West Virginia State Penitentiary in Moundsville, West Virginia.We were able to stop at Salt Fork State Park in Ohio.  This park is said to be home to the Ohio Grassman and Big Foot.  We hiked a trail where  Big Foot has been spotted numerous times. Later on we went to visit the West Virginia State Penitentiary.   This prison has been around for over a 100 years and was built in  a gothic style and had the look of a fortress.   Over 998 men have died inside the walls of this prison with 94 of them being executed.  The land the prison sits on is said to be cursed because it is an ancient Indian burial ground.  All kinds of paranormal activity have been seen in the prison.We will be posting photos of our adventure and some of the stuff we saw on our tour on our Instagram account. Make sure to like and follow us @twoscaredycatspodcastRemember curiosity didn't kill these Two Scaredy Cats!Support the show

The notorious West Virginia State Penitentiary operated from 1876 to 1995, but was never completely abandoned, when its door closed. In it's 119 year history, violence, executions, and heinous murders took place within its walls, as well as the infamous "Sugar Shack". Roaming the darkened hallways, we often stopped to wonder...

Today's story was sent in by a fan who had an interesting experience at the Former West Virginia State Penitentiary Moundsville, West Virginia. The facility officially opened in 1876 and during its 119-year life as a penitentiary the facility held some of the most violent killers, rapists, and other criminals. Many never left the institution alive. It comes as no surprise that this type of environment would leave behind more than a few wandering spirits.After the prison closed, the Moundsville Economic Development Council leased the complex for 25 years. Today it serves a dual purpose as a training facility and a tourist attraction. Today's story takes place during a tour of the facility.I grew up thirty minutes south of the former West Virginia State Penitentiary. My Grandfather worked there for a bit when he moved back to the area. My Father's first haircut was given to him by an inmate that was serving time for murdering his wife and mother-in-law by tying them up and pushing them into a wood stove. Because of my proximity to it growing up I probably toured the Penitentiary a half dozen times, each time I just had an uneasy feeling while touring it. Fast forward to 2019 I get an opportunity to tour and get some pictures with my then new camera. I was ready for a great tour, I had my camera, two backup batteries I had charged that morning, and a couple different lenses. The tour was going great until the guide let me go into the kitchen area. Typically it's off limits for tours due to the roof leaking and the wet floors being a liability issue. They made an exception because I was the only one on this tour. The guide told me I could explore the kitchen and freezer areas and when I was done all I had to do was take a left and I'd be back in the cafeteria. I took some pictures in the kitchen and started down the hallway the freezers are in. The hallway was pretty dark and when I attempted to take a picture my camera gave me a message that the object I was trying to photograph was too close to be focused on. I tried taking another picture and it tried to focus but then gave me the same message. I gave up and tried changing to my low light lense. When I tried taking another picture it didn't even try to focus, it just gave me the same ‘too close to focus' message. I turned and took a picture of the kitchen from the hallway, that picture was perfectly fine. I turned back around and got the same focusing message. I turned it out of auto focus and forced it to take a picture. For some reason it was super grainy and the lighting was weird. I tried to take another one and my screen went black- no error, no low battery warning- it just went black. I tried swapping out batteries for one I had charged that morning, it was dead. I tried the other backup battery, also dead. Eventually I made my way back around to the tour guide. He asked me if I got any good pictures. I told him my batteries died, and he looked completely unphased. All he asked was ‘how much power does your phone have?'I pulled out my phone that I had charged on my way there that had been 100% when my tour started an hour prior; it was now down to 8% and in power saving mode. When I told him about that he just shrugged and told me that was why he no longer goes into the kitchen area. Apparently it's pretty notorious for draining electronics. I still haven't been able to explain what happened and since then I have taken pictures in darker places without having a similar issue.Thanks to the fan who sent this in!

n 1876, the West Virginia State Penitentiary, also known as the Moundsville Penitentiary, opened in Moundsville, WV. This gothic-style prison was in part built by the prisoners that would be incarcerated in it, and also contained prisoner-ran shops that helped it become a self-sufficient facility. As time went on, the prison went through many changes and problems, especially with security, plumbing and overcrowding, that allowed for disease and chaos to run rampant. Over the years there were murders, riots, prisoner escapes and almost 100 executions. The prison shut down operations in 1995 and moved its remaining prisoners to other facilities.Many believe that the building was built on Native American burial grounds, which allowed for hundreds of spirits to still roam. Visitors have heard voices and whispering, heard the cell doors clanging shut, have felt cold spots and been touched by unseen hands, smelled unpleasant odors, and seen apparitions. There is one particular entity that is called the "Shadow Man" because he lurks in dark places and has no visible features.What haunts the West Virginia State Penitentiary?

Today, Stuart Schrader, a scholar at Johns Hopkins, joins us to talk about his book: Badges Without Borders: How Global Counterinsurgency Transformed American Policing. We go through the history of modern policing in America, how these tactics were spread around the world during the cold war, and finally the repercussions when they came home.Here is the video that we referenced during the interview:Excerpt from chapter 5 of Badges Without Borders, “Policing and Social Regulation”Policing the globe engendered new approaches to governance. The public safety project insisted upon the universality of its approach to crafting the first line of defense, uniting cops from across the United States and across the globe in a single fraternity. Advising police overseas differed from patrolling a beat at home, however. Innovation, flexibility, and patience were essential. The experience affirmed and reinforced police experts’ belief in the vital necessity of cutting-edge policing expertise as a bulwark against societal chaos.Many older public safety advisors retired from law enforcement when they left the Agency for International Development (AID), but around a hundred rotated back into ordinary police positions at home, now with a new outlook. Lee Echols, who initiated the public safety mission to Bolivia in 1957, was elected sheriff of Yuma County, Arizona, in 1960. A campaign ad included endorsements from Office of Strategic Services director William Donovan and the Office of Public Safety’s (OPS’s) Theo Hall. Echols lost a bid for reelection after one term, during which he spent lavishly and implemented rigorous FBI-led in-service training for his men, in effect imitating OPS-style reforms. This vigor was premature, however—the law and order craze still lay in the future. Echols was obliged to resume overseas advisory work.After OPS shut down, Adolph Saenz became a prison administrator in New Mexico, recruiting OPS buddies to staff his facility, and Donald Bordenkircher Jr. became warden of the West Virginia State Penitentiary. In the late 1950s, Bordenkircher had been a rising star in prison administration at San Quentin State Prison in California, and he became a public safety advisor in South Vietnam in 1967. He took lessons learned at San Quentin to Vietnam, like the rapid-response “troubleshooting squad” for prison rebellions and the “hole,” or solitary confinement, for disciplinary infractions. Bordenkircher eventually returned overseas, advising prison administration in Iraq from 2005 to 2009. Both Saenz and Bordenkircher put their counterinsurgent knowledge to the test when called on to suppress rebellions in prisons they supervised, earning national news coverage. The individual itineraries of returned advisors do not suffice to illustrate the domestication of counterinsurgency, however. Instead, the institutions they developed would reproduce the knowledge they created long after they moved on and their names were forgotten. In their travels, advisors designed, introduced, and tested universally applicable policing techniques and technologies. In the context of global counterinsurgency, information collection, sorting, and dissemination were essential, and its reliance on new technologies was consistent with the capital-intensive thrust of police reforms that professionalizers of the 1960s adopted. Technologies for surveilling and managing the population encouraged new forms of violence, like forced disappearance. And new weapons and new ways to use them also emerged. Through these developments, global security congealed.

Tracy and Jerry discuss the West Virginia State Penitentiary in Moundsville, WV. Author Duane Scott Cerny stops by to talk about his book Selling Dead People's Things

The West Virginia State Penitentiary is one of the most haunting structures you will ever see. Built to somewhat mimic a prison built in Joliet Illinois, The West Virginia State Penitentiary is a massive gothic structure that looks like it could be the set for a horror movie where the dead return feast on the flesh of the living as a group of hold-outs seek solace behind its strong walls... Oh, wait. That's already been done. The West Virginia State Penitentiary was home to countless famous inmates over the course of its life. The West Virginia State Penitentiary was also the site of countless murders, suicides, and unspeakable violence. It's limestone walls still hold much of this negative energy which can be felt from the moment you walk through its gates. Several riots occurred on the property during its life, many which ended in death and emotional devastation. Today The West Virginia State Penitentiary is used for corporate functions, meetings, retreats, weddings and of course ghost hunts. Today we hear the real ghost stories of The West Virginia State Penitentiary. See more at http://www.thegravetalks.com
