I had a summer camp at Sloss one year. Not focused on the ghostly side of things or anything but one time we were all on the stage/old casting shed and we heard what sounded like someone dropping a wrench in the boiler engine room. Nobody was down there and no explanation. Growing up there we took it as a given the furnaces were haunted some by good spirits who protected the workers and refused to leave their job even though the place was closed. One story I was told bout a guy who was pulled back on a catwalk where he would have fell to his death but all he could see was a figure in the heat that was too hot for any person to stand in. I would also assume there were some not so good but I am not versed in their stories. Grown up I used to drive over the viaduct every day for work and you could just feel something from the place. Can't say good or bad but the place does have a life of its own
Whoever wrote the narrator's script obviously has no knowledge about how a blast furnace works. First, there is no such thing as "molten ore". Ore is converted in the blast furnace to make pig iron, which in its molten state is transported in railroad cars that carry the ladles to the foundry or steel converting furnaces. Also, the forman was overcome by carbon monoxide, not methane gas.
When I was a little kid. Maybe 6 or 7 I use to have a re-occuring dream every few nights for months on end of a place like this. Then they started again around when I was 10ish... really weird. I've always had a fascination and obsession with heavy industrial buildings. But in my dream the factory was just called Hell.
Lol. Naw,wormwood ain't "lose his footing". My great uncle worked at that place. Ol Slag got his head stoved in and flipped over by the leg of his britches.
i saw a video about this place when i was seven years old, and it's been engrained in my head ever since then. hell, i forgot the lizzie borden house for a while, but i remembered sloss. this is what comes to mind when i think of haunted places.
its a museum and they have metal working art and blacksmithing classes/shops set up in one of the old casting sheds. my great grandfather worked there running one of the overhead cranes. he got paid in cold hard cash....
I looked up sgt stephen c austin in the north Avondale precinct. Hard as it is to believe, it turned up no one. Almost like that wasn’t a real police officer, but an actor that sounds like he is from anywhere but Alabama.
my mom took a tour last night, she was definitely freaked. the group she had with her experienced several cold spots and unexplained energy readings. once of her pics had over twenty orbs in it.. i love the place, i went to the halloween fright furnace tour and it wasn't scary till we got lost. the vibes from that place are amazing.
@ZorbaZombie you can go. nothing is stopping you. i'm here for the iron conference, if you want to work hard, drink beer, meet amazing people and make art come down. im from connecticut.
YO. Despite my attention being utterly engaged when viewing. I too could not help but notice that! When they panned unto the gent doing the documentary so early in the vid! Its always these moments i find most convincing of spectral anomalies. Because you dont see anyone talking about it. In or outside the video.
if i had molten hot steel and you tried to pay me in "clacker" you would have been eating clacker because im super nice and reasonable and should have fed you molten steel
@luscioussuicide hey when?? my team could go with you guys , we could help you guys know were the hotspots are! Of course i live in bham so please reply!
+Ed Weibe, saw your incredible video of the ghost at Sloss. It is certainly the most convincing video taken by an unimpeachable source. I would be very interested to know if you have captured other videos as well. Congratulations on your catch! Judy Listello -listello62@yahoo
+Ed Weibe where can I see them? I am really quite impressed that someone of you intellect and background is unapologetic and open about the paranormal. You are doing a great service, sir.
