Stay Away From Pittsburgh’s Most Haunted Street After Dark Or You May Be Sorry

An unassuming road flanked by trees, Irwin Road in North Park appears completely normal during the day. But, when the sun goes down, the road – also known as Blue Mist Road – becomes shrouded in a blue mist and, if you believe local lure, teems with the paranormal. The question is: Do you dare travel down the most haunted street in Pittsburgh?

Terrifying tales of the paranormal emanate from Blue Mist Road, which beckons ghost hunters, those interested in the paranormal, and curiosity seekers.

A heavy blue mist descends upon Irwin Road each evening as the sun sets. Locals and paranormal experts claim the road, which tells numerous tragic tales, is one of the most haunted in the country.

A family - dad, mom, and their children - once lived along Blue Mist Road. The enraged father returned home from work one evening and slaughtered his family, hiding their bodies in a septic tank. Their spirits are among those that are said to still roam the haunted street.

Keep an eye out for the cemetery - and two headstones that lean toward each other - that sits near Blue Mist Road. Those two headstones, honoring a bride and a groom, touch each other and the apparitions of the two are seen dancing but only when there's a full moon.

Others say that the wooded road, shrouded in blue mist, was once the sight of activity - including brutal murders and lynchings - by the Klu Klux Klan.

Experience the paranormal yourself *if you dare* by driving to the section of Blue Mist Road that's closed. Stop your car. Honk your horn three times to awaken the spirits that lurk within.

Those who have dared to summon the spirits claim to have experienced such paranormal activity as being overwhelmed by orbs, chased by a human/dog hybrid, witnessed bodies hanging from trees, and...

One group of ghost hunters claim to have heard the faint beating of an Indian drum as they snapped pictures of the empty road. When they looked at the photos, they discovered an angry face on the images.
