History & local legend
The Carnegie Library on Grandview Avenue has served Pittsburgh’s Mount Washington neighborhood since 1900. Its location near the Monongahela Incline and the city overlook made it a stop on Haunted Pittsburgh’s former Incline Ghost Tour, where guides told a story about readers who never stopped returning.
According to the tour’s account, a group of people who had loved the library in life continued to visit after death. They were described as friendly regulars, still at home among the books and the neighborhood they knew.
