The Governor’s Debate And A Spooky Trail, This West Virginia Morning

On this West Virginia Morning, West Virginia’s gubernatorial candidates took the debate stage at Fairmont State University on Tuesday evening. Caelan Bailey was in attendance, and tells us what Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, the Republican candidate, and Huntington Mayor Steve Williams, the Democratic candidate, had to say.

Plus, Halloween is fast approaching. To celebrate, West Virginia residents and visitors alike can take part in the state’s Paranormal Trail, organized by the West Virginia Department of Tourism.

The trail includes 18 haunted or spooky locations around the state. Briana Heaney stopped by some of the sites and tells us what they have to offer.

Also in this episode, Election Day is Nov. 5, and early voting is ongoing. Briana Heaney went down to Mercer County to talk to voters about the state and local issues important to them.
