Slag Pile Annie

Alleged ghost in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Slag Pile Annie is the name of a ghost reputed to haunt the former Jones and Laughlin Steel Corporation mill in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. According to the story, she appeared as a rough-looking woman wearing a red bandana,[1] working or just standing in a remote and hard-to-access part of the mill. The steelworkers who warned her of danger did not know she was a ghost, until she replied, "I can't get killed, I'm already dead."[2][3][4]

The tale may have developed from the true experiences of women working dangerous jobs in the Pittsburgh steel mills during World War II.[1]
