"At night, this old building, now a national landmark, still echoes with noises from its perilous past. Screams are heard, apparitions are seen, and on the second floor of the Blower Building, there's the sinister presence known as "Slag," an overly cruel foreman who can still be heard belittling his crew." "There have been several apparitions seen at Sloss Furnace. In reviewing the picture that displays the workers that served at the facility in employment, witnesses to paranormal activity have been able to identify these two particular individuals in the picture. In addition to this, several other spirits are believed to linger around the facility. There are also several different other hauntings that are said to occur at this facility." "Numerous spectral sightings of a former ironworker who perished many years ago in this historic blast furnace have established Sloss Furnace as a major supernatural crossroads." "Sloss is a must-see for anyone
interested in paranormal occurrences, as it is fairly accessible
through public events held there, and it is seems to be something
of a hotbed of paranormal activity." "Sightings have been recorded year round,
as have phantom voices and footsteps. The violent attacks, however,
seem to happen during the months of September and October, usually
during the old graveyard shift hours. However, it might be best,
if one goes, to look busy. Slag doesn't like slackers." "As I stood next
to one of the gigantic machines, I sensed that someone, a male,
had lost a hand or an arm while working at this piece of equipment.
"Do you get anything else, like a name?" Patti asked me.
"Samuel," I answered quickly. Suddenly, Patti gasped and
said, "Look at your hand!" There was fresh blood on my
palm and yet, on close inspection, we found no visible sign - a
cut or an injury - for the source of the blood." "Make
no mistake, Sloss Furnace is spooky....many of our crew refused
to go back in...we encountered cold spots, orbs, and even machinery
that seemed to run on its own..." "Being
at Sloss is like standing before the gates of hell....Would
I every go back here by myself? No Sir. " "This
abandoned steel mill is haunted. It is filled with the spirits
of workers who, for whatever reason, have refused to move on.
Caution is advised for thrill-seekers who want to explore Sloss....Casper
the friendly ghost certainly does not live there." "The
power of the Fright Furnace is its haunted history. You don't
know if the ghosts are fake or real. A
30-minute stroll through this 1880s steel mill in downtown Birmingham
is guaranteed to chill." "Sloss
Fright Furnace has an environment & trail that is one of
a kind...In all Sloss is haunted by the souls of dead Furnace
workers." "Birmingham Alabama's
premiere haunted attraction! The Sloss Fright Furnace will leave
you horrified." "There
have been hundreds of sightings and reports of paranormal activity
in Sloss Furnace, and the infamous furnace tunnel, through which
the haunted house takes its final stretch, is certified by the
National Association of Psychics as one of the most haunted locations
in the world." "Considered by many to be the most
haunted places in the South....whether you are interested in
things like that or not." "Sloss Furnaces has been the focus of
numerous paranormal investigations, and has appeared on many national
television programs about haunted sites. The site has been billed
as one of the nation's most haunted sites with reports of hundreds
of unexplained occurrences over the years." "The
best thing about Sloss is that it takes a long time to get
through it. The atmosphere of the old foundry is awesome, and
the length of time roaming the grounds helps add to the tension." "Sloss Furnace is also one of America's
most haunted places (been featured on many national programs).
Reports of the paranormal began about 100 years ago after the night
foreman fell into a vat of molten iron ore. Since then there have
been hundreds of accounts of paranormal activities." "It
is nearly impossible not to feel the psychic energy that Sloss
Furnace emits like the factory fumes it once produced... Even
during the day, you keep looking over your shoulder, wondering
who, or what, is following you...." "There
have been more than 100 incidents in the police records of
unexplained events at Sloss Furnaces. There is something going
on out there that's not quite right." "This is just not some Halloween
house with a bunch of people running around with rubber masks. Several
paranormal investigative teams have documented that this place is
haunted with hundreds of spirit sightings…" The
only question you have to ask yourself "Are all the spooks
I will encounter only actors?" "Sloss
Furnace is a place with a silence that still speaks profoundly
for those with the ability to hear it." "Persons
working crews from parties have reported hearing footsteps,
seeing figures, etc...it is one bad-ass venue. " "I've
been here 11 years, and I can't say that I believe all of the
stories that I've heard about this place, but I do think that
something is here. I can't explain it. It's like a force or
something. I'll be walking around here by myself and see something
out of the corner of my eye, something like the shape of a
person. It will be here for a minute, then it will be gone.
I can't explain it. " "Over
the years many investigations have been done at The Sloss Furnaces,
among them by television crews and professional paranormal
investigators. Whether skeptics or believers, anyone who goes
into The Sloss Furnaces can agree on one thing: There is something
there, and it isn't friendly. " "Sloss Furnace
with it's haunted history is a creepy place, and well worth
the trip. " "Sloss

Sloss Furnaces, which has held shows for such bands as FEAR
FACTORY, MARILYN MANSON and RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, have

and footsteps." "Unlike the ghostly
voice of a woman saying "It's hot" captured a few weeks
ago at Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham, a review of the recording
at the Sykes building revealed no ghostly answers. " "There are reportedly over 60 deaths
on record at this plant, so it would be little wonder that Sloss

is about." "The
premiere fright event of the Southeast." "One
of the highest rates of unnatural energy ever encountered." "No

visiting Sloss Furnaces, possibly the most haunted location
in the United States."
