Strangely a place with a record of horrific industrial deaths you would think would be haunted was not.

In the late 1800's early 1900's there existed the Pressed Steel Car Company  in Mckees rocks Pa.  Bottoms Section. A sprawling place with  some of the original buildings which can still be seen from the McKees Rocks Bridge .
It was a a horrific place to work even by steel mill standards of the time many a worker was horribly maimed or smashed and killed in this plant which made rail road cars and employed over 6000 workers at one time.
and yes there was an over priced company store and over priced housing just like you found in coal mine towns that took advantage of workers leaving them in virtual poverty  and which played one nationality off against the other.

A violent strike in 1909 would see 12 dead as workers finally had enough one day when wage envelops where short with no explanation.

The strike brought about changes but the plant did not last much past WWII and its buildings still exist to this day having been turned into an industrial park for multiple business

 Now such a place of death and despair you would think would be haunted by the ghosts of  past incidents and there would be all kind of paranormal activity but surprisingly it is not going on as far as I can tell.

How do I know this ? 

Well in 1978 while attending Connely Skill Center where I was training to become a Refrigeration Mechanic  I needed to make money  and went to work for Burns International Detective Agency as an unarmed guard and my first assignment would be at your guessed it the Mckeesrocks  in the old Pressed Steel Plant 

 I guarded several buildings with in the complex  on a rotating 12 hour shift  the buildings where leased by American Forge who made Crane hooks and ratchet binders for  holding down loads on trucks. 

The place was  a total shit hole and dangerous to work in One of the kids in my neighborhood dad worked there  and always talked about how dangerous the place was  but these where days when OSHA was first enforced and eventually the place would be forced to close after fires and numerous other problems etc..
While the industrial park did a good job keeping the park buildings maintained and secured tenants like American Forge did them no favors in taking care of there places they leased.

I knew the place was some kind of mill and heard from those who worked there they made railroad cars. 

 But it was not till many years later and the advent of the Internet that I was able to dig out all the details of where I had worked ,and how horrifying the conditions where there at one time. 

Now with all the deaths and despair and working overnight in this place all by myself you think I would have experienced some kind of paranormal event but nothing happened I would run across guards from Paragon Security who worked the place as well and none of them ever spoke of any spooky goings on and one of my customers who started his business out in the place also said he never experienced any thing as well.  

So strange as it might seem there are no ghosts at the place it seems and if there are no ones talking about it. . Unlike many other places I work where there is all kind of unexplained activity's. In some ways its good because people are hesitant to work in such places and it draws plenty of curious people around some with good intentions some not .

UPDATE: 
When I went past the plant this past weekend of 11/14 they have started the process of tearing down the old forge buildings .
