Haunted Places Near Braddock, PA

2 reported haunted locations found near Braddock, PA.

Name	Description
J. Edgar Thompson Steel Works	This site (across the river from Kennywood Park) is haunted by the ghosts of British soldiers who were killed by the French & Indians during General Braddock's Campaign of 1755.George Washington observed many of the unfortunate wretches when he organized the retreat of the survivors.
Kennywood Park	This isn't so much a report of a haunting as it is the clearing up of a false report. The report of the Steel Phantom ghost is completely inaccurate and just not possible as the Steel Phantom was built in the early 1990's, whereas Kennywood was built in 1898. This makes the stories time line false. I have personally never seen a news story involving any death with the building of the Steel Phantom.
