Pittsburgh's streets hold more than steel and history. They hold secrets. On this downtown ghost tour, an expert local storyteller leads you through the city's most haunted corners, serving up chilling true tales and sweet treats at every turn. Begin at the Omni William Penn Hotel with your first treat as you hear how steel baron Henry Clay Frick still roams the halls. Cross to the Allegheny County Courthouse to hear how a warden's wife helped a condemned killer escape, then meet the Lady in White of the Pittsburgh Playhouse. Stroll past the old Kaufmann's department store, where phantom soldiers still march, and learn how Market Square sheltered freedom seekers on the Underground Railroad. Near the Point, refuel with a taste of local flavor, uncover General Braddock's lost treasure and the British soldiers who still guard the Fort Pitt Blockhouse, and hear the eerie premonitions that foretold Roberto Clemente's fate before ending with one final treat.
