wonderful boyfriend
It was only before me and my current boyfriend started dating that he had told me that he had a great-grandfather that had died in the furnace. Of corse i did not belive him how could I. I then did some reserch and found it as a little family secret. His great grandfather had fell into a boiler of some type while triyng to save a blackman who had fell, they both died together. His family had never been re-embersed for their loss.

I never been there
I never been there before my mom dad and I are going on Halloween. I hope I have lots of fun. By reading all of your comments it seems to be little bit scary. I think its not scary any way. My grandmother has been there before but she did not go on Halloween. So I hope I have a lot of fun.

Very cool, but mom backed out. :////
Last night we went to sloss with my mom we went probobly 15 yards into the place and my mom backed .If ur going to go, bring a parent who likes very scary houses. Other than all of that what i saw was pretty okay, not that scary more creepy and pepole jump out and hit medal with stuff that's the worst.

Ok I live very very close to sloss, so one night me and some of my friend's went there, it was in march so no one was there, we were looking around the outside of the factory and i turned around and my one friend kyle only one was the only one there out of the six of us. When i saw him behind me he looked out of him self and he said "YES I AM HERE! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? (now he sounded sad) he hurt me and he didnt stop, he didnt stop. pepole came but didnt see me and im sill here, hes still here" and that scaed the shit out of me! its true!

Voices caught on camera!!
Ok so me,my husband and a friend where in the tunnel and we're asking the "ghosts" questions.While we we're there we never heard anything just akward feelings.When we checked the video at home we could hear what sounds like to be a woman or little girl saying help me.Then you can see something walking beside me and maybe 5-10 mins after that you can hear a ghastly moan.!! It's so freakin awesome..I love SLOSS!!!

the most frightening thing ever in my life
well some friends and I where checking out the engine room behind the water tower. I found an old locker room way in the back part. It was spooky to begin with, really cramped and dusty. I opened the lockers and looked inside I didn't see anything at all in them. then as I was turning around to leave I bumped into something really hard I dropped my light and when it hit the ground it went out. i was a little freaked out I have to admit, but I found the flash light and when i got it back on all of the lockers that I opened where closed again and there wasn't anything behind me to bump into. I ran out and as I did out of the corner of my eye i could kinda see silhouettes of people watching in the darkness.I wont go in any of the buildings at sloss ever again only outside during the day for me.

Chains
The whole time I was there, I could hear the sound of chains, just off in the distance. Probably the tortured leftover sounds of all those black convicts used to build the fortunes of corporate Birmingham. Evil deeds never go away. They simply return in other forms.

at one of sloss wheels

Pridefest
During Pridefest at Sloss we had a strange feeling about the place, there were more than just human spirits there that day. Something big and sad looms over the place.

Weird man seen...
I worked at Sloss Fright Furnace with a friend, and one night after we had shut down (like 3 in the morning) we we walking through one of the tunnels that was set up for the haunted house. We were working in the middle of the tunnel so we had to walk a ways to get to the staircase to get out. We were the only two working that area that night. As we turned a corner we saw a man in blue looking coveralls and they looked like they were burned or had soot on them. We just chalked it up to one of our cast memebers trying to play a trick on us. When we got back to the crews trailer there was no one in those type clothes. The next night we saw the exact same person walking on one of the catwalks above one of our areas. He looked as if he was watching us. Were he was we did not have access to at all. The whole night I felt as if I was being followed. I felt uneasy even if I was with other people.. I still have not went back there after that.

fog room/catwalk
the second year that sloss was open, i remember walking up the stairs to the fog room. i was always looking behind the barrels for the next spook, so when we got into the area at the top of the stairs with all the fog, i could see a dark figure behind a set of barrels. i saw it put its hand onto the barrels and they started to fall. me and my friend in front of me both put our hands out at the same time to steady the barrels. they did not fall. i figured the spook would eventually come out to try to scare us but he/she never did. i have always wondered if it was a careless mistake by a spook, or an attempt by a ghost to hurt us

After the MCR show...
I went to the April 30th, 2008 My Chemical Romance show and after the show was walking around some of the old equipment and something grabs my arm. It kinda freaked me out but I really want to go back and fully explore that place after dark. I believe that Sloss Furnace is haunted for real.

something in the dark
Last year when I went to Sloss Fright Furnace when my group was walking through the part of the furnace that has that big wheel and it was really dark, and all of a sudden in the distance I see this white thing moving and it looked like it was hiding but I could still see it, at first I thought it was one of the actors and I was thinking "oh he's gonna pop out when we walk by" but we passed by it and I noticed it didn't pop out and I looked to see if it was going to pop out at the people behind us and it didn't. I kept looking at it and it kept moving it looked like a white shadow that was looking at me but it had no face it was turned towards me.

a ghost brushed up against my arm
I LOVE Sloss Fright Furnace and last year was my first year and I went again this year because since I loved it so much last year I promised myself I'd go every year. This year when me and my friend were waiting for our group to be called I felt something brush up against my shoulder and It felt weird. I thought at first it was my purse strap that slid on my arm but when I looked at the place that I felt it the purse strap wasnt there it fact my purse strap hadn't even moved from the place it was before and I know nobody passed me so I know it was a ghost! Also when we had just finished going through the trail as I was leaving I noticed I had all these red stains that look like blood on the arm of my shirt it was all the arm of my shirt, I think it was the same arm that I felt something brush up against me. If you haven't been to Sloss you HAVE to go it's so much fun and it's the best haunted attraction and real haunted place I've ever been too!

Great Great Uncle
My great great uncle worked at the furnace and was there when "the accident" happened. He was thrown into the rafters. He was not killed, but badly injured. Soon after he went insane...

Burned
We were going through part of the tour where the steps come out from the tunnel and I felt someone grab at my ankle. At first I thought it was just one of the ppl working there to scare you, but when we got home and I started to get in the shower the warm water started burning around my ankle. I looked and saw a near perfect hand print from where someone had grabbed my ankle just a few hours before on those stairs. And this is not just some friction burn, there are two places on it that have started to blister up on it.

Weird.....
So a few hours ago I go up to Sloss with my girlfriend to do the whole haunted house thing because neither of us have ever been. So we get there and it's closed. (I was not aware that they're not open on Tuesday nights.) But, the gate is wide open and aside from some beer trucks, my car is the only one in the parking lot. No one else is there. Now I'm all in to ghosts and what not and I know that Sloss is supposed to be really haunted so I convince my girlfriend to go looking for ghosts with me. So we're walking all around keeping our eyes peeled for anything weird and we walk past one of these "electric chair" props with this weird looking dummy in it which I laughed at because it was funny-looking. Then we find this room that's pitch black inside except for a blacklight and I reach out to open the door and I could have sworn that I heard somebody cough. I turn around and look at my girlfriend and she says she heard it too and that she didn't think we should go in that room. So we turned around and started to leave because the weird cough freaked her out. We're walking back the way we came and I realize something is wrong. Then it hits me. The dummy I was laughing at is gone along with his chair. At this point I get freaked out and I can literally feel my heart beating in my chest. So we pick up the pace to try to hurry up and get the hell out of there and we turn a corner and BAM! There sits the exact same dummy from before in the chair. I'm not gonna lie... I screamed like a woman. And as if that wasn't enough, while we're high-tailing it to the exit we start hearing what sounds like people screaming and a weird whistling noise off in the distance. Needless to say, we are NOT going back to Sloss when they're closed EVER again. Bad idea.

There or... Not there?
My name is Rachel I'm 14 years old I went to Sloss Fright Furnace with my father and my best friend. My father lead our tour group there were about 10 people in our group including us, we would call out warnings to each other like if stairs, water, or monsters were coming up. We were walking in the furnace after the tessla-coil room. There were parts of the iron mill around us. I saw a shadowed figure (thinking it was a monster that would jump out and scare us) I warned everyone.... I was the only one who saw the man. As I rounded the corner coming closer to him we had to pass a metal pole which cut off our view for no more than a second. When I passed I looked back at the place where the man was standing expecting him to jump.....he wasn't there anymore. I'm basing him off my Dad so I think he stood about 5'9", heavy build about 200lbs., dark dirty looking clothes. He was standing with his feet apart even with his shoulders his arms slightly out to his sides. I could not see the man's face it was too dark in the room, upon seeing him though the room seemed to get colder. As we passed he was not there and everything was back to normal. ( As normal as it gets for a haunted factory. ) There was only one way to move out.. to step in our path or.... vanish?! I know you may right this off as a kid seeing things, after all this was my first haunted house tour, BUT this kid saw something.

Holy Moly!!!
The 2008 trail is unreal! At the very beginning, they have a crazy skeleton that has got to be 20ft. tall! The actors are totally NUTS! They will hang from the pipes in the ceiling, and scale fences to get to you. It's like they are all acrobats! In one of the rooms, there's a machine that shoots giant lightning bolts over your head, and lots of monsters with chainsaws. In one part of the maze, the walls start to close in on you. The group I was with was walking really slowly, and I almost started to hyperventilate! It was terrifying. I heard that someone actually peed on themselves earlier that night! I believe it. If you like a good show, and can appreciate skillfully crafted props...and you like to have the BEJESUS scared out of you, you should go! How will they ever top this year?

READ THIS!!! TRUE STORY!!!!
So I went to sloss last year. When I was just about to exit the tour, I lost my friend. I went back and saw him sitting in the corner crying.(I just thought he was being a little baby back bitch) When I got up to him, his eyes were red and he growled at me. I ran to get one of the workers and when they got there he was normal and not crying. He said he blacked out.

Footsteps, banging, nausea
So, me and my friends went to sloss furnace in May of 2008. We were so curious about the stories we heard about he old factory. So we decided to go. It was me, my friend Bubba, and Derick. We toured the whole site until we came upon this room called the Blowing Engine Room. Something definetly attracted us to this room. Reportings have shown that there are over 100 sightings in this area. As we roamed the site, we heard footsteps, banging noises, and also felt a blast of cold air as if there was an air conditioner in the room. But, the strange thing about it was that there wasno electricity at all, because it has been closed down for at least 30 years. I also had taken a picture of Derick in front of one the machines called the Wheel, and reportings also state that a man was crushed to death in this machine. keep in mind that i wasn't moving the camera, the picture was perfect, and he wasn't moving either. But, after I took the picture, we noticed that his body was see-through, and half of his head was cut off. That, we cannot expain. Another incident we occured was upon the catwalk; one of the most haunted places in that room. As we began to climb the ladder that leads to the catwalk, I began to feel weak, and lightheaded. I felt like someone was watching us. It was that sense of fear of the unknown. My legs were weak, my heart was beating rapidly, and i was beggining to lose breath. That was my experience on the catwalk. Now, my friend Bubba, had the same feeling I had up there. Now, that is a true story, and unexplainable.

not one of the monsters
my friend and i went to sloss in october for the haunted house we were walking around the corner laghing at some of the people dressed up and i saw a shadow in a dark corner we had been messing with the people there all night so i decided that i would go over there and tap the guy on the head but when i reached the corner there was nobody there

Wow!!
Okay..So the last 3 years I've gone to Sloss Fright Furnace for every Halloween. It's great there; Exspeially if you read the history of Sloss before you vist there. The shows there are wounderful. But beware of the wait. Last year I visted Sloss I waited 4 hours before I got the chance to go through it. But I promise, The wait was all okay after the exsperiace of the tour. Hope you come for 2008..I heard it's supposed to be better than any other year. -Hope to see ya there. ? Kelly!*

a show before the show.
we went to the My Chemical Romance show on April the 30th and my friend and i decided that we wanted to tour the furnace to kill some time and well we knew the story behind it and wanted to check it out but like there was a room under the back half of the furnace that has like a chair in it and everytime we tried to go in there it was like something kept pushing us back and then in the tunnel we took some pictures and its filled with orbs and my friend said she kept feeling something touch her. i'm now a firm believer that sloss is haunted!

Creepy Feild-trip
In October 2006, My Art class went on a feild trip to Sloss for a tour, around like 11am. When we got about half way we were on the cross walk. Me and my friends were in the very back of the line and the tour guy stopped to show us something. Me and my friend were taking pics with each-other and we felt like someone just blew on our necks, or like it was a breeze. It was very very cold in that spot. so we screamed and we ran up with the rest of the group. But it was really weird because it was only cold in that one spot, nowhere else. And the end of our tour the, tour guy said that the place was haunted that just freaked me out. That was the creepiest feild trip ever. <3 LaTeria

so much better than i thought it would be!
I went about a week ago, because i was forced to. I went with my mom, my sister, my cousin, and my friend. We ran into another one of my friends there with her sister. Well, we got in line to go in sloss fright furnace and i started getting really scared. i wanted to back out so bad, but my friends wouldn't let me. When we were finally about to go in, after some dead lookin dude screamed the rules. When we went in, i was on the verge of tears i was so nervous. one dude actually got knocked down by my momma, but it was an accident lol. anyway, i was practically on one of my friends' back lol and as we progressed, i acted like i wasn't scared, you know i was laughing at every dude who tried to scare me. now, i have to admit i did scream once, but other than that, the people who worked there, didn't pick on me much, because like i said, i acted like it all amused me. I don't think i wanna go back though lol i just don't like being scared.

clownin
sloss is past scary last year when i came i had an encounter with some of the people there i was so scared that when i got home i was still thinking about it its been a year in im still thinking about it. But i am gowing on hollow wing with some friends in i hope they pe there selfs
by bobby v
 
It was okay.
There where a few jumps here and there but in all it was pretty okay. But I expected the people and the costumes to be a little scarier you know? But the only reason why I had fun was because I had friends and these cute boys in front of me to hold on too. If you go though have fun because It might be a different experience for you then it was for me. You might even get to see a few ghosts ;D

I almost chickened out; however, after a little coaxing I went! It was really awesome! I will definitely be making it tradition!

Made a believer outta me!
Around 2002 or 2003, I accompanied a group of ghost hunters to Sloss. It was a suitably rainy night. I wandered off by myself with just a flashlight when I heard a small rattling following me. The flashlight showed a single empty soda can which rolled right up to my feet & stopped. It wouldn't have been so bad it I wasn't standing on a fairly steep walkway, but what REALLY freaked me out was when I stepped over the can, walked maybe 30 feet back down the walkway & heard the can begin to roll & it once again came right to my feet & stopped before touching me. WAY too far for the wind to be the only cause, so you tell me! What made that stupid can roll so far & follow me in two different directions? I don't know but it made me leave rather quickly without saying goodbye to my friends.

first timer
I just went to sloss last night on friday october 26 with a bunch of friends at the spurr of the moment.It was my first time at sloss and I didnt know what to expect.First off the effects were really good, second the enviroment hellped, but it really didnt scare me,but it scared my bf out of his mind.But the whole time we were there, Whenever I felt like there was someone following me, I would turn around and no one would be there.All in all it was fun. But maybe if I ever get to go back, it will be even better.

Nooooooooooo!!!!!
this was my first time going(2007), my brother wanted to go so bad, so we went on a thursday night. I was already shaking because i was nervous and didn't know what to expect because it was my first time. They finally called our letter and i was kinda pumped and ready to go. We were finally in our group of seven, and the man is telling us how dark it's going to be in there, and how close the monsters are going to get to you, really close in your personal space, and might even brush against you, or chase you. Yeah, that's when i was like i don't think so, and I started to leave, but my brother was like no, you're not leaving! So I stayed for a few more mins, and we went through to see these two dudes standing there all bloodied up and stuff, holding a chainsaw, and like a little hammer or something. They told us to get in line,well actually screamed, so we did. I was trying not look scared, so they wouldn't pick on me, but i guess it didn't work, cause the dude with the chainsaw was screaming all in my face, and i was like omg. They were both ganging up on me. he had the chainsaw right by me swuiping it on the ground, boy i wanted to get out there right then! then we started to move inside the building, and they kept following and taunting us, particulary me. then the chainsaw dude had the chainsaw right in front of me blocking me. And everyone kept walking and i couldn't move, so i had to let go and i was by myself. here comes another dude with a chainsaw that just jumps out nowhere. All three of them surrounding me in my face, with chainsaws, a little hammer thing, and something else.i was screaming really loud. i couldn't move anywhere, and i was not about to go through the ride by myself, so i decided to go back up to the front, they were still following me. so i went under the little chain thing they blocked off. and i started running, i stopped running for a minute, then i heard the dude with the chainsaw right behind me screaming and the chainsaw running, I shot out there quick, fast, and in a hurry! I think i'd try again, just for the fun of it because now i know what to expect, and hopefully i'll actually get inside this time. Ha! ha!

best freakin thing ive ever done!!!
I've never been into a haunted house before and i wanted to prove to my friends i was brave and i did stuff like thiss all of the time. So, i asked my best friend Leah to go. We went in and it was soo scary. All the people were picking on me and stuff. I thought it was the funnest, weridest, craziest, scariest, coolest thing ive ever done. I loved it and im definatly going back next year or again this year!!! Trust me, I will NEVER look at Sloss the same way again.

Help me!" but my friend pushed me on. i dont kno if it was just me or what but i know i saw something. his clothes were relle old,bloody,and torn. he looked like he was the one who had been thrown in the iron and burned to death. but thats just me.

AMAZING TIME!!!!
Ok, first off, this was so f'in scary! My boyfriend and me somehow got stuck at the very end of the line, which was CRAZY b/c they all targeted us. The first guy that talks about Sloss really freaked me out b/c he followed me SO CLOSE and I could feel him breathing on my neck! The person that scared me the MOST though was the very first woman I saw when your going down the cat walk thing and she's standing there. She got SO CLOSE to me and kept following me I thought I was about to die!! Plus, I did feel like, in some places, that someone was there, but when I turned around there would be no one. I do believe there are real ghosts there. It has that feeling all the way. You guys did a GREAT job!! I loved the vortex! That shit was AWESOME!!!! The whole thing was terrifying, which I loved!!! B/c if it wasn't scary, I would have felt like I wasted time and money...but I feel that it was worth it!! Everyone considering going....go for it! You will NOT be disappointed!! I PROMISE!!! Thanks Sloss for a GREAT time!!! Can't wait to go again!!
by Brittany
 
Sloss is GREAT!!!!!!!!
I found out about sloss before i ever went there for the fright furnace and the place is awesome! I saw Dj Irene there and Live! Never had any freaky experiences...yet. I met a Birmingham native and he told me about the place being haunted. After that I had to go to to the fright furnace. I have gone at least 3 or 4 times. I can't wait, I will be there this year to see all the new stuff. I am sooooo excited!!!!!!!
by Nitsirk
 
AWSOME!
My experience at the sloss furnace was terrifying and that's what made it so great everything was awsome i have never ever experienced somthing like this b4, from the scary movies to the interesting side shows and having under a bridge is a ideal location.
by Steven

by Lyndsay

by lize
 
Awesome experience
The first time I came to sloss , i wasn't too sure of what to expect. I came with several people, including: my mother,brother, and a "chicken sh!t" friend among many others. The whole time we were waiting I was excited and scared at the same time, being chased by a clown with a chainsaw into the ladies room really impacted me. My friend the whole time we were going through the maze had a death grip on my shirt as well as my mothers. To say the least it really made an impact on me. Every year I make an avid attempt to get my chicken friend to come. He to this day refuses the invitation. Thank You Guys for being the best in the biz. Much Love Lil_vampiress119

CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY
I was scared to death with I first walked in Sloss. I went with my boyfriend and a bunch of friends. We made it through Sloss but on the way out my boyfriiend looked down and saw a card with Matt written on it (which is his name) and then when we got to the car my friend noticed finger indentions in his shirt...no one followed behind him while we were there. So there was most def something in there.

by WILBURN
 
Busted Teeth
Well my sister went and while she was waiting in line the guy with the chainsaw was chasing her and she tripped and busted her teeth out. While goin through the tour she said some of the monsters were acting scared of her because her face was so bloody. I laughed about.
by Shorty

BEST NIGHT EVER!
i just went last night, and it was my first time ever to go to sloss. it was so much fun! i cannot even describe it! but i cant describe how scary it was either. before you enter at the entrance, there was this guy, who looked sooooo bloody, and has spikes sticking out of his face, and he was so scary, let me just tell youu. and i was like OH HELL NAW! i aint goin! and i tried to leave, and my friend was like no come on!! and i was like UHHHH noooooo. and then she convinced me, but i still had this like look of terror on my face, and i was turned to the left, and suddenly, on my right side, i feel this really warm,hot wet,sticky breath on my neck, and i heard a guy breathe like he had bronchitus, and i turned and not even an inch away from my face was that scary guy!! i think i peed a little. i was like AUHHHHHH!!! and then i remembered that if you scream or act scared, they wil just get in your face more, so i go HA HA HA! i was soooo just kidding!!!! ha ha ha! see im laughing right now, cause it wasnt scary! =] but wow. the whole expirence was just great!!

Looking Forward
I have been going to Sloss for the past 3 years. I was debating on going this year due to the fact that the previous years have been the same as before. After seeing the website this year and reading dome of the thoughts, I cant wait. Will post a thought after visiting the furnace tonight 10/13/07. Catch all you peeps later. DNK

Shirt tug
When I went to Sloss in 2005 I was last in line and there was a portion of the tour that took us across a long catwalk that was about 30 feet long,just as i reached the mid point of the catwalk I felt a pretty good tug on my shirt tail,when I turned around to see what it was there was nothing or nobody there and there was no way anybody could have ran away from where I was on the catwalk that fast,or reached up or down to do it because of the height of the catwalk or the distance between the catwalk and the ceiling.It really freaked me out.
by JEFF
 
i swear i saw something...
i went oct. 5, 07 and i was the 1st to go in with my group so i was a little freaked out but once i got inside i looked up and i saw a shadow or dark looking figure like to the right of the entrance of the trail and i thought it was just something freaky deaky! and someone is trying to scruuur me but once i glanced back up it was gone... talk about freaky shit!
by pimp daddy
 
really close encounters
my husband and i went a couple of days before halloween in 2006 after winning free tickets from a local radio show. i was a virgin to the fright furnace so i knew i would be scared out of my wits. but what was really scary to me was the fact that almost every person/creature i passed got so close that our noses could have touched. a good scare is alright but thats just down right invading someone's personal space when you get that close on purpose. then again, i dont think ive ever been that scared in my life. we are definitely going to go again this year!!!
by robyn
 
OMG WUT WAS THAT?!?!
I went 2 the sloss furnace and I was the last 1 2 go in I heard a freaky sound I turned around and saw A GUY WITH A CHAINSAW OMG!!!! that soooo freakin scared me he was running after me I ran as fast as I could then it was finally OVER Yes I was so darn lucky!!!!

The one in skirt & pigtails who crawled through but ran out...
You guys scared the s*** out of me. I've been going to SFF for the past 8 years or so, and it's always been a tad on the lame side. This year was totally different. I wore a skirt, stacked sandals and thigh highs, because for the past several years, it really didn't matter what I wore. I figured, what the hell, I'll dress nice. I really should have stuck with the jeans & running shoes that I started off in. I had my friend Scott in front of me and his brother Mike, John, and two other girls, (I'm sorry I can't remember your names! I'm a jerk!), were behind me. For the parts where I wasn't scrunched up like an accordion (with my legs around Scott's waist and my arms around Mike) while they were carried me, I was either riding on Scott's back, or running for dear life. Oh, this was amidst the cacophonous screeching that I did the entire way through. But every time I tried to look up, some crazy mother-f***er was following us, breathing down my neck! And, OH MY GOD, do these people blend into the background. Just when you think it's clear, there's some freak crouched in a dark corner, and I promise, they're virtually invisible, until they come after you. I wish I could comment more on the setup of the place, but I was so effing scared out of my mind, I couldn't keep my eyes open for most of it or had my head buried under someone's arm (the floors looked great this year). This one guy tried to hand me some of those 3D glasses for the maze, and after they finally convinced me to take them, I DID start off wearing them, but by the end of the maze, they were crushed beyond cognizance. Yeah, um, I'll pay for those. By the way, if management asks, I'm the one who requested to have the pads put down for the crawlers. My knees were so skinned up from all the crawling and falling I did (my own stupidity, yes). I did slam into the walls a couple of times from getting totally freaked out and trying to run or jump away. I also almost fell into some skanky-looking toilet setup, that was covered in this cobweb stuff, which we later found all over Scott's shoe. I really hope I didn't do any permanent damage. If I did, just let Mike know - it's all his and John's faults. &=) Some clown (literally) found us about halfway through, and that joker had it out for me. I totally hate clowns, as does the rest of the human population. This hooker was hiding UP IN THE CEILING, swung down, and managed to follow us all the way to the end of the trail. We got to the outside of the trail, and I asked if it was ok to look (probably not the question I should have asked), and everyone was like, "Yeah, we're out! You can look!" I start walking away, and I'll be damned if that clown is still next to me! I shot off like a rocket, went running through the grass, and managed to fall, pulling Scott down with me, ass-up, over a pipe, in a ditch, with my skirt up for the world to see. Sorry, Birmingham. That's more of me than you ever wanted to see, I know. I went in there, totally fine and all put together, but I came tearing out of there, pouring sweat, hair askew, pantyhose ripped and down around my ankles, hand bleeding, battered and bruised beyond recognition. You guys did a hell of a job this year. I'm totally impressed. It was friggin' awesome. And, John, I'm still pissed I didn't see Slag. I know most dudes never think this stuff is scary. So, for you guys who don't want some chick crawling and sweating all over you and screaming in your ear, this is probably not the place to bring her. I love to be scared, and yes, I'm a big weenie, so I had the time of my life! Thank you, guys! Even having been through once, I STILL don't think I could manage to go through, again, with my eyes open! You guys killed this year! &=) (*By the way, I'm really sorry about all the nuts that were damaged in the universal grabbing. I'm not normally that forward on a first date. You guys should really find a better place to put those things.)

Scarryyyyyyy
i tell you wat, when me and this group went through on Oct. 5, 2007, the day it opened, which was our first time, i got so damn scared when went through he first stage. i was so scared i was like wat the hell. but i went on and on and i tell you one thing, i was so scared. the people following us without u knowing they was following you, the chainsaw people chasing us, the people screaming in your ears, he man jumping from the ceiling, you know what, just go and where clothes you dont mind getting dirty, cause you will get dirty, me and my group made that big mistake.

Real footage
Some people who have a investigation group who go around to different ones not to long ago got approval to stay or go to Sloss one night. They seriously lucked up and got some good stuff. Pictures, footage on there camcord, ect. I am pretty sure the people of Sloss who gave them permission to stay there that night are aware of it cause I am sure they asked about the results as part of the approval to stay there. After all, they love hearing about things people witness. Hopefully when they get it together, they will post these things on here. I do hear they got some great stuff! Like a figure looking over the railing at one of the furnaces but couldnt make out a face or anything and then pulling back for example. Course, creepier seeing it then hearing about it. They did get it on camera and camrod though :) People send in messages to the Sloss people so they will post some of it. COME ON!

OMG!!
Ok, I love Sloss, better yet haunted places and attractions period. I love going around to these haunted places and trying to get paranormal activity for myself. Sometimes you get it, sometimes you dont. But from reading alot of these "Haunted" tales on here, mostly youngens around 11-14 talking crap. Sweeties, place dont try to make crap up. I know you think you witness stuff due to being scared but when you for REAL witness something, OOO you know it and an awesome thing. But dont try to talk crap trying to get people to believe in the tales. There are plenty of real tales to prove or get people interested on there own. PLENTY of footage, pictures ect people have been able to capure. Just leave it to them people. Not the youngen non sence. DOnt go in scared. Then your mind places tricks or you see nothing really and think it's something.
