Went to Beckley with my husband for his work. I had the day to drive around to visit antique…read morestores. This store had very friendly owners, was clean and there were a lot of things to look at, I was in there about an hour. (The bathroom was locked) Sadly, aprox. 3/4's of the store was crafts, new items, reproductions and yard sale items. Only a quarter of the store housed actual antiques and they were mostly behind locked glass. There were a few things I was interested in, but they were "not for sale", just for show. I didn't purchase anything.

Some great finds here. The prices are all over the place, but look around. You will absolutely walk…read moreout with a few items.

We recently road-tripped our way from Buffalo NY down to WV for no better reason than to visit a…read morenew place together. We stayed in Bridgeport WV, about a half hour from Weston WV, where Appalachian Oddities is located. Weston WV has many paranormal ties, including a huge historical asylum that dovetails with civil war history, too. So a mystic shop like Appalachian Oddities fits right in here in Weston. When we first walked in, we actually weren't sure if it was a shop or a museum, as the entry vestibule is staged so well as an undead parlor, haha. But we were soon warmly greeted by the shop owner, and welcomed inside to take a look around. Appalachian Oddities is inside a repurposed house that still has much of the original footprint and charm. So each area of the store is in a different room of the house, with lots of peculiar gifts to explore in each space. I ended up purchasing a couple gifts here, one a prayer-style candle for my horror-movie-loving brother that had a Freddy Krueger design on it. I also purchased a necklace for my daughter that had a lovely etched wood raven pendant. Our twelve-year old son went to town here with his Christmas money, and bought a board game called "Pandemic", and a local artist print of a painting of the Joker, Jauqiun Phoenix's rendition. As it turns out, the asylum in Weston is a short-listed film location for the next Joker movie. In addition to the shop, Appalachian Oddities has an escape room attraction. We did not participate in the escape room when we were there, but did see a family going in, and could overhear the screams, scares, and fun coming out of the escape room. I overheard the cost was $25 per person, and the people going through seemed to be having a great time well worth the cost. My husband spent some time chatting with the very friendly owner, who also runs a paranormal enthusiast group out of their meeting space in the back of the store. The group ghost hunts together in the area, and have had some intriguing close encounters! If you live in this area and are interested in paranormal sightings, definitely check out this group. If you are visiting Weston WV for the asylum tour or any of the other area attractions related to the mysterious unknown, (i.e., ghosts, aliens, cryptids, etc.), Appalachian Oddities is a great gift shop stop! Even if ghouls aren't your thing, it is still fun to stop in for a peek at the paranormal.

Their candles are the best I have found and I have had many different ones from other companies but they just don't smell as good. I don't use their body products much...occasionally their body mist. The hand sanitizers are a necessity at this point in time. Always friendly people to help you out.

I wanted a certain wallflower plug and the guy took his employee to the spare storage down the mall to check for me without me even asking. And....he brought back a plug he thought I might like it cuz was one I had never seen before. I had a dollar off 10 off 35 and the projector plug was 36.50. The other plug had intricate lighting inside on a little tree and the girl got down in the floor and plug each in to see how they looked. No one had ever done that. I would but she did for me. I don't live near this store only pass in travels but I would love to have these people help me again

I think she got hostile because a bad stone was sold to me. I was going to purchase another one after I asked a question she got rude like I was gonna ask her for a refund or exchange. I wasn't I had the money to purchase another one. But the way she spoke to me especially in front of customers she was not about to get my hard earned money.
