Discover the Eerily Haunted Side of the Bustling Steel City

Pittsburgh’s vibrant city life and tough working-class attitude, along with some generous philanthropy from 19th-century steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, have helped build it into the eighth largest city in the United States.

As you walk through Pittsburgh’s South Side on this tour, you will learn compelling facts about the city’s history along with some stories and happenings that nobody on the Pittsburgh Tourism Board would want you to know. You will visit interesting historical locations like the South Side Traveler’s Rest, as well as some storied modern locations like the George K. Cupples Football Stadium. You will hear stories about terrifying ghost clowns, paranormal paintings, and mysterious bloody packages. Find out how a ghostly child tries to contact his mother, and why you may not want to visit the bathroom at a local bar located on the site of a former industrial steel factory.

Not everyone who visits Pittsburgh will understand the darkness that lurks at its corners, but for those interested in exploring that side of the city, our tour is perfect. Your trip through Pittsburgh’s South Side will help you understand that even in the City of Bridges, a beacon of hard work and the American Dream, the insidious side of human nature can infect the edges of society. Only when you start to get chills and the hairs stand up on the back of your neck will you truly grasp the true terror of the Steel City.

What draws the supernatural to Pittsburgh?

Although Pittsburgh is known for toughness, even the roughest steel workers might cower at the city’s paranormal connections. Our tour offers an unflinching look at what makes the Steel City such a compelling haunted location. As the eighth-largest city in the United States, many people have come to the city in search of a stable way of life. As a result, Pittsburgh has a rich immigrant cultural history, which as only enlivened the city and added to its uniqueness. But not everyone is lucky enough to find success, even in a city like Pittsburgh, and those kinds of tragedies and failures are what drive the city’s darker connections. Pittsburgh also has a deep coal and steel history, and neither industries are known historically for their safety. The city is littered with stories of mining operations gone wrong and milling tragedies. Any city with a long history has run-ins with unexplained phenomenon, but Pittsburgh’s seems especially compelling, and that makes it all the more terrifying.

Join one of tours and you will experience Steel City history in a way that will haunt you forever.
