We returned to the haunted Dead Man’s Hollow in Pittsburgh, PA. McKeesport, PA.

1874 – Origin of the Name
A group of boys were wandering through a remote area
near the Youghiogheny River
when they discovered a man hanging from a noose in a tree.
The body was badly decomposed at the time,
making it impossible to identify the victim.
Many believe this tale is the reason for the name of the area.

1880 – Gunned Down
Robert ‘George’ McClure owned a dry goods shop
in McKeesport, PA, that had been robbed.
McClure went on a hunt to find those responsible for the crime
and discovered them in Dead Man’s Hollow.
McClure fired shots at the criminals who fired back.
McClure was killed in the encounter.
Seven years later, gang leader Ward McConkey
was convicted of McClure’s murder and hanged
for the crime in the courtyard of the Allegheny County Jail.
His alleged last words were, “Goodbye, all you murderers”.
Some believe it’s his spirit that haunts Dead Man’s Hollow.

1883 – The Explosion
In March of 1883,
four workmen at George Flemming’s stone quarry
in Dead Man’s Hollow were killed when attempting to thaw frozen explosives by an open flame.
The explosives ignited and the blast killed
at least two of the men instantly.

The Bank Heist
Two men robbed a bank in Clairton, PA,
and met in the hollow to split the money.
One of the men shot the other to keep all the money
and stashed it in a secret hiding place.
Legend says he was discovered at the opening of the woods
by lawmen and gunned down.
Some people believe the money is still in the hollow.

-1905-
Mike Sacco
was working at the Union Sewer Pipe Company
when he was killed in an elevator accident.
Some believe his spirit is still haunting the area.
