Seems some Railroad employees never left their jobs at The Former P&LE railroad station in Pittsburgh ?

 Now known as the Grand Concourse at Station Square the former Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad Head Quarters and Station  at Smithfeild and W. Carson St. has been a familiar Pittsburgh landmark since 1898

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh_and_Lake_Erie_Railroad

It served  Both Passenger and Freight Service and in the early 80s  the twice a day passenger service from beaver Falls Pa stopped and the line eventually became part of the enormous CSX Rail  Service.

 

But in 1970s the whole complex of  freight and office structures started transforming into  a retail Complex .

The massive passenger terminal which was huge ,dark and scary inside due to its beautiful stained glass windows being painted over during WWII to avoid light during blackouts was transformed into a beautiful Grand Concourse Restaurant with rental offices upstairs

and Railroad freight building turned into the station square shops. Which has transformed over the years to now mostly office space .

But it seems some of those who passed thru and worked at the station have decided to stay behind.

I went to meet with an individual from a 3rd party toll phone service  about getting better  toll service rates  for my customers their in 80s and He told me how often doors would open and close by them selves people could be heard in halls and no one there and other spooky things like in the restaurant area the water faucets would turn on by themselves.

Even further back when a friend of mine worked for the railroad in accounting he told of same type of  odd stuff happening so its not been brought on by the changes but has perhaps increased none of it malevolent. Just trying to get your attention.

I know of no tragedy in building or other activity's that would have brought about the activity ,but before it was a train yard it served as the site of the first  stone built  Pig Iron furnace in Western Pa as well as glass making works so maybe the ghosts are from that period as there where often 

many accidents in those times. 

The other possibility are the ghosts of those who perished in a horrifying trolley accident right in front of the property in December 24, 1917 a total 21 people died when a trolley lost its brakes and came flying out of the nearby transit tunnel.

 Whoever or whatever it is that causes the paranormal activity . There is very little to be found about it .

So go and enjoy a Fantastic dinner and enjoy the exceptional spirits the restaurant has on hand and if your lucky you might run into one of the others. 

 

A whole Steam Engine and tender goes missing in the middle of the night . The mysterious disappearance in Conneaut / Geneva Swamp

 If you have ever taken I-79 North to Erie Pa. before you get there you go over the famous Conneaut Swamp . also known as Geneva Swamp

The bridge actually floats over this section of interstate because trying to drive piles down into the swamp  to build a conventional bridge would not work  its muddy bottom keeps going and going . just like with one side of the Brooklyn Bridge in NY. in fact to anchor the floating bride pillars go down 200 ft

One of the more mysterious things to happen at this location is the fact a full size Bessemer and Lake Erie  Steam Engine and Tender  as well as tracks it was sitting on disappeared overnight into the swamp.in 1910

The engine was set on tracks overnight to help compact soil which had been placed around the tracks to help stabilize them which was a constant on going battle.

Presumably the train and tracks where sucked deep into the mud or the floating bridge sprang back up with out the locomotive  minus its tracks depending who is telling the story

One story goes the story was made up and railroad secretly  took engine during night  renumbered it as part of an insurance or tax scam  but that seems to not be credible story.

But the engine is still supposedly there some where deep in the swamp   along with lots of other equipment lost by those trying to conquer it. .

How deep does it really go no one knows.

How a connection between a lonely Reader in New Kensington Pa to the Philadelphia Experiment proves it was all just a story

 Yes the well known story about the man who saw the USS Eldridge disappear from Philadelphia  and reappear during an electrical experiment in 1943  seems to be nothing more than one lonely mans imagination

It appears that in 1955 a lone guy Carl Allen who lived with his parents  and was a prolific reader,concocted the whole story

 Carl had a strange habit of writing notes on margins and liners of books he read and making up story's lines.

He made up the Philadelphia story  while reading a UFO book tore out the pages and submitted them to author of  the UFO book who then submitted them to Naval Research Center to verify the story  and the story leaked out and the rest is History as they say.

 Using the name Carlos Allende  he claims to have witnessed the event from the ship SS Andrew Furuseth

 Only problem both ships where not there at time the event played out and there are no credible eye witnesses to come forward and those who have have been debunked. In fact sailors who would have been on the ship at the time have been questioned and say it never happened.

After all these years as we have lost the majority of WWII veterans many would have witnessed it and some one should have come forward and no one has and you cant hide something like that. Many veterans as they near end of their lives start telling what they did no one has in this case. There are no records of mass injury's etc either.

 Carl Allen Committed suicide in 1959 and proof of his forgery's came out in 1980.

But there are those who believe Einstein and Tesla where involved and it really happened well if it did it was not Philadelphia and not the the Eldridge.
