History & local legend
Volunteers at Forward Township Volunteer Fire Company on Roberts Hollow Road reported occasionally hearing a child's voice over a two-way radio. They also described someone moving through the firehouse and opening doors when no visitor could be found.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reporter Kathy Samudovsky included both accounts in her October 30, 2008 article about hauntings south of Pittsburgh. The reports had drawn the attention of the Peace of Mind Paranormal Society in Finleyville, whose investigators were examining the radio voice and the unexplained activity inside the station.
