History & Paranormal Activity

These decommissioned 1882 iron furnaces are haunted by James 'Slag' Wormwood, a brutal foreman who drove workers to their deaths and eventually fell into one of the furnaces himself. Workers and visitors report being pushed near the furnaces, a shadowy figure on the catwalk, and the smell of burning flesh in the engine room. Investigators document some of Alabama's most aggressive EVP here.
