West Virginia Is Hiding Something Nobody Talks About

West Virginia might be the most overlooked state in America — and that's exactly the problem. From a secret bunker built to hide the entire U.S. Congress from nuclear war, to a 13,000-square-mile zone where wireless signals are banned by federal law, to a river older than the mountains it cuts through, this state is hiding more than almost anywhere else in the country. In this video, we count down 55 facts about West Virginia that sound made up but are completely real. Ancient seas, ghost towns that once out-shipped Cincinnati, a bog that freezes in July, pieces of Canada stranded on mountaintops, the birthplace of Mother's Day, and a court case decided partly on the testimony of a ghost. By the end, you'll never look at the Mountain State the same way again.
