The One With Slag Pile Annie

Sip, Spill & Solve – Episode 18

Grab your glass and your ghost stories — we’re heading to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, home of steel, smoke, and one legendary spirit who never clocked out: Slag Pile Annie.

According to mill lore, Annie was a tough-as-nails worker who met her end deep in the tunnels beneath the Jones & Laughlin Steel Works. Decades later, steelworkers swore she still showed up for her shift — same coveralls, same red bandanna — whispering,

“I can’t get killed… I’m already dead.”

This week, Kiki and Jeannie sip their newest autumn cocktail, the Golden Harvest Fizz — a cozy mix of apple cider, caramel vodka, and ginger ale with sliced apples on top — while unraveling the haunting legend that fuses Pittsburgh grit with ghostly lore.

So pour yourself a glass, cue the eerie glow of the furnaces, and join us as we ask: was Annie real, or just forged from the fire of mill-town memory?

🍷 Two girlfriends. One bottle. Zero qualifications.
