Walking Tour Through Haunted, Historic South Side

Saturday: 11/7 and 11/14: 7:30 pm. Starting from the Carson Street Deli, 1507 East Carson Street. 412-381-5335. Tickets: 15$ purchased at the Carson Street Deli. The tour runs approximately one hour and fifteen minutes.

A UNIQUE WALKING TOUR THROUGH HISTORIC, AND HAUNTED, SOUTH SIDE, the "workshop of the world," on the picturesque streets between Carson and the Mon. On the tour you will hear the supernatural stories about the City Theater, Gypsy Cafe, Lava Lounge, and the Carson Street Deli. We've collected blood-curdling tales of the unexplained about private homes along the way (although we make a point not to intrude on anyone's privacy). And we can't forget the mills: steel is imprinted on our town's DNA, so it's understandable that the ghosts of the mills provide for some Pittsburgh's creepiest tales -- from the strange apparition of Slag Pile Annie to the downright ghastly apparition of Jim Grabowski. The walk provides a one-of-a-kind panorama of the Bluff, so we regale our guests with the amazing ghost tales of Duquesne University and Mercy Hospital. Journey with us back to the Gilded Age of robber barons and of boastful mansions and relive the terrifying story that can't be left out of any Pittsburgh ghost tour, the tale about "the most haunted house in America," 1129 Ridge Avenue in old Allegheny West (alas, there is no walking tour at that location because it's just an empty lot now).
