▲VIRTUAL GHOST TOUR

In the comfort of your conference room, lecture hall, or lunch or dinner venue, one of Haunted Pittsburgh's Ghost Guides brings Haunted Pittsburgh to you!

Pittsburgh is a veritable treasure trove of spectacular tales of the unexplained. In just 60 or 90 minutes, depending on your group's needs, our Ghost Guide will take you on a spine-tingling, whirlwind tour through the city's most unusual, most terrifying, locations, complete with magnificent photos of the sites. Without ever leaving your chair, we'll tak you from the South Side to the North Side -- and we'll most assuredly end up on the dark side. This is the story of a great American city through the macabre lens of its classic ghost stories.

We'll take you up the spectacularly haunted Monongahela Incline where an evil presence taunts the staff. We'll zip over to  Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece, Fallingwater, where the ghost of Mrs. Egdar Kaufmann still roams. You'll thrill to the other-worldly tale, which happened to be the biggest news story in America at the time, about the attempt to kill steel magnate Henry Clay Frick, "the most hated man in America," during the Homestead steel strike, and about how, according to Mr. Frick himself, it was thwarted by a ghost. 

You'll hear the bone-chilling tales of the ghosts of the old Wabash Bridge; the cursed bed where three assassinated presidents slept; Mr. Frick's home, Clayton; the Cathedral of Learning; the John Heinz History Center; the Aviary; the Pittsburgh Playhouse; the Carnegie Libraries of Oakland, Lawrenceville, Homestead, and Mt. Washington, among others. These are tales that promise to get under your skin and give your spine a tingle.

You'll relive the story of Pittsburgh's greatest unsolved mystery -- the Mitchel B-25 bomber that crashed in the Mon near the Glenwood Bridge in 1956.  And you'll help us solve the mystery of who killed noted architect Stanford White (remember Ragtime?): several hundred witnesses saw Pittsburgh playboy Harry K. Thaw pull the trigger, but did Thaw really kill White -- or was it the vengeful spirit who took over his body?

You'll hear the story of haunted Macy's (formerly Kaufmanns) downtown where the tenth floor is home to the ghost of a soldier from the French and Indian War. You'll hear about the city's most famous ghost, the one who tormented internationally acclaimed artist Maxo Vanka as he painted the murals at St. Nicholas Church in Millvale.

You'll see the former Soffel home on Mount Washington, said to be haunted by the ghost of Mrs. Soffel (played in the film Mrs. Soffel by Diane Keaon), who became a national sensation when she helped two vicious prisoners escape after falling in love with one of them (played in the same movie by Mel Gibson). And you'll visit the former Allegheny County Jail where her spirit is also said to roam. 

Journey with us back to the Gilded Age of ragtime and of robber barons, of boastful mansions bathed in gaslight, and of a "Millionaire's Row" that was the most exclusive address in America.  This is Pittsburgh -- "hell with the lid off" -- as you never knew it!
