History & local legend
Allegheny General Hospital's South Tower opened in 1936 and remains a prominent part of Pittsburgh's North Side skyline. The hospital's older ghost account concerns voices that seemed to be holding a conversation somewhere inside the tower, along with other unexplained sounds.
A local reader offered a competing version in 2008, suggesting the sounds were associated with a former funeral parlor on nearby Sandusky Street.
