History & local legend

Park View Three, the apartment tower at 7 Allegheny Center on Pittsburgh's North Side, once housed Art Institute students. Residents gave it the nickname Agony Number Seven, which became attached to stories of unexplained activity throughout the building.

The Shadowlands collected reports of rapping sounds, cold patches, moving objects and figures seen by residents. The accounts did not concentrate on a particular room or floor. A student radio program invited callers to share their experiences around Halloween and reportedly received several stories from people who had lived there.
