The dagger at the center of one of Pittsburgh's greatest ghost stories

This dagger -- now on display at the Senator John Heinz History Center -- was at the center not only of one of Pittsburgh's greatest ghost stories but of the biggest news story in America at the time it was used to try to kill a powerful steel magnate.

On the afternoon of July 23, 1892, while the greatest steel strike in American history was raging against the Carnegie Steel Company, an anarchist named Alexander Berkman burst into the downtown office of the man who ran the company, Henry Clay Frick -- "the most hated man in America" -- and shot him twice in the neck and stabbed him four times with this dagger.

Frick survived the attack, and Berkman later claimed his bullets failed to hit Frick in the head because he was blinded by light coming through the office window. The only problem is, there was no light coming through the window. Mr. Frick, by any measure the most level-headed of businessman, knew the real reason he survived -- and it had to do with a ghost.

Clayton: The Frick House

"Clayton" is the name of the Italianate-style home located at the corner of Penn and South Homewood avenues in Pittsburgh’s residential East End neighborhood that is literally the last remnant of Pittsburgh's fabled millionaire's row. It was the home of Pittsburgh coke and steel magnate Henry Clay Frick and his family. Mr. Frick ran the world's largest steel company and was at the center of some of Pittsburgh's -- and the nation's -- greatest tragedies, including the Homestead Steel Strike and the Johnstown Flood.

The Frick family lived in Clayton from 1883 to 1905, and retained the house even after they moved to New York. In 1981, Mr. Frick's daughter Helen returned to live there in her old age. Before her death in 1984, she arranged for the home to become a living museum. It is now open the public and is among Pittsburgh's greatest treasures.

Clayton was witness to far more than it's share of sorrow, and there have been multiple reports of spiritual sightings there. Join us and hear about them.
