Pittsburgh is a city of contrasts: steel and smoke, wealth and hardship, joy and tragedy. And some of its most famous buildings carry both sides of that story into the present.

First, we step into the gilded halls of the Omni William Penn Hotel, where presidents, celebrities, and high society once gathered for galas and glittering nights. But behind the chandeliers and marble, guests and staff whisper about phantom laughter in the ballrooms, cold spots in empty hallways, and even the ghostly bleats of a panda once linked to a socialite who died there. On the 18th and 22nd floors, footsteps, whispers, and full-bodied apparitions remind us that even the grandest hotels collect their share of shadows.

Then, across town, we enter the stark history of the Allegheny County Morgue. For nearly a century, this was the city’s house of the dead. Every Sunday, families filed past rows of corpses in what newspapers grimly called the Parade of Death. Victims of floods, mine disasters, murders, and accidents all passed through these doors—over 30,000 in total. Today, staff and investigators report voices in empty rooms, drawers slamming on their own, shadowy figures in the basement, and a vaporous form that “slithers” toward the crematory door.

Together, these two places reveal the dual soul of Pittsburgh: elegance and tragedy, laughter and silence, life and death.

Join us as we explore the ghosts of the William Penn Hotel and the lingering spirits of the Allegheny County Morgue.
