History & local legend
Codorus Furnace in York County preserves the remains of an ironworking site whose history began with a forge in 1765. The surviving furnace masonry and charcoal house belong to a later phase, around 1836. A path climbs behind the furnace toward the charcoal-house ruins.
The ghost story attached to the site is brief and specific. A woman dressed in white is said to move beside a stone wall behind the furnace. Some versions describe her walking, while others have her running. A photographer recorded the wall's association with the tale in 2010, and an Outta the Way account that year described sightings more generally around the ironworks.
