Former ICM School of Business and Medical Careers

The Woman Who Walks the Halls at ICM

The eastern corner of Wood Street and Fort Pitt Boulevard near the Monongahela waterfront in downtown Pittsburgh.

History & local legend

The former ICM School of Business and Medical Careers stood near Wood Street and Fort Pitt Boulevard in downtown Pittsburgh. Its ghost story concerned a woman said to have worked there for twenty years and hoped to obtain a supervisory position.

In the tale, a dispute over that promotion remained unresolved when coworkers went upstairs one evening and found her office closed. She was said to have died there. Later reports described a woman walking through the halls at night, interpreted as the employee returning to the workplace where she had spent so much of her life.
