The Ghosts of Pittsburgh Tour

There's something about Pittsburgh after dark. The bridges stretch across the rivers, the lights of downtown reflect off the water, and the old buildings that seem perfectly ordinary during the day begin to look a little more mysterious.

It's a city with a remarkable past.

And, if you believe the stories, more than a few ghosts.

Welcome to The Ghosts of Pittsburgh Tour, Ghost City Tours' family-friendly walking ghost tour exploring the haunted history of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Long before Pittsburgh became the busy city we know today, the meeting of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers made this area one of the most strategically important places on the American frontier. Armies fought for control of the land, forts rose and fell, and a settlement began growing around the place where three rivers meet.

Over the generations, Pittsburgh survived wars, devastating fires, floods, and enormous changes. Neighborhoods grew, fortunes were made, and countless people left their mark on the city.

Some of their stories have been preserved in history books.

Others have become ghost stories.

On The Ghosts of Pittsburgh Tour, you'll discover the fascinating history and mysterious legends connected to the city's past. Your guide will introduce you to unusual characters, strange encounters, and stories of spirits that some believe still linger around Pittsburgh's historic buildings and streets.

Along the way, you'll learn about the people and events that shaped Pittsburgh, including parts of its history that even longtime residents might not know.

Some stories are based on documented historical events. Others come from local folklore and accounts of experiences that people still struggle to explain.

Which ones do you believe? We'll leave that decision up to you.

A little spooky? Of course. But there's plenty of fun to be had along the way.

The Ghosts of Pittsburgh Tour is designed for families, curious kids, and adults who enjoy a good ghost story. We focus on entertaining storytelling, fascinating local history, and the occasional mystery that might make you look twice at an otherwise ordinary building.

You won't find people jumping out to scare your children or theatrical horror effects. Just a fun evening exploring the city's past and the ghostly legends that have become part of Pittsburgh's history.

Whether you're visiting Pittsburgh for the first time or have called it home for years, you'll discover a different side of the city.

After all, millions of people have walked Pittsburgh's streets over the centuries.

Who's to say they're all gone?
