Ghost Adventures returns this week and takes on the Sloss Furnace, an iron mill in Alabama. When learning about the furnace the three guys were told that paranormal activity has been very prominent even before the furnace was shut down. Many men lost their lives working at the furnace due to the danger of the job. Two men fell into the furnace while several fell from the steps and platforms which are over 200 feet tall. One man was actually crushed with a large spinning wheel while two others were boiled from falling into a large vat of water. It was a very nasty job and many died doing it, creating the ghostly environment that the guys quickly encountered. One of the main haunts was Slag, an angry boss at the plant. They were told he was seen, and felt, in a hidden tunnel underneath the plant and they were curious if he would show for them. Two other researches who spent the night at the plant both said they were hurt from the ghost. One was slapped across the face while the others lungs were “squeezed”. Don’t know if I believe either but at least they built up the suspense.
As the nights investigation began things started rather early. While the guys were moving their equipment in Zak spotted a guy walking through one of the doors. It put everyone in the mood for the hunt and sent them directly into the hidden tunnel. There they heard footsteps but one experience beat any of them. Aaron was poked in the eye by, what they presume, was a spirit. He wanted to leave the tunnel right there and then but they made him continue only to hear more footsteps and freaking them out even more. They then decided to move outside for a bit and were surprised by a glowing light. They checked to see what it was but nothing was found. A mist was also caught on their one static cam, they weren’t there to check what it was though so it could have been anything. After moving down into the boiler room the guys starting hearing more noises but realized they should separate.
With Aaron in the control room Nick headed off to the hidden tunnel while Zak went back into the boiler room. Alone in the tunnel Nick was able to catch an EVP saying “I hate Zak”. Zak was having another spirit hate him at the same time as he pushed for Slag to show himself. He didn’t really show himself but did make himself heard. Zak continued hearing knocking on the pipes and caught an EVP saying “come here”. Back down in the tunnel Nick was having some more activity. He heard someone say “come on” right behind him, scaring him out of his seat and sending him running. Following that a mist showed on the screen with a prominent figure of an arm. It was hard to see but still very interesting and shows just how active the plant is. Following the investigation they took their findings to California for cleaning up. The guy who was helping them was able to make the EVPs sound much clearer and some of the mist clearer as well. Hopefully next week they find some more ghosts as they take on another penitentiary, this time in New Jersey.
