1. Sloss Furnaces in Birmingham

Sloss Furnaces is more than just a place where teens go in October to have a good fright, it also has a chilling past to it that all started in the early 1900s. James “Slag” Wormwood was a foreman during the graveyard shift and he was over a crew of 150. He was known as a cruel man, who often put his men’s lives in grave danger. One day, Wormwood fell into a huge pool of melted iron ore and died. After his death, many of the men felt an evil presence among them. Two men saw a man who was badly burned coming toward them. Over the years, about 100 reports of paranormal activity at Sloss Furnace have been recorded by the Birmingham police.
