The ghostly Dead Man's Hollow
Dead Man’s Hollow Conservation Area, a 450-acre greenspace and trail system with thick woods and tons of wildflowers. The Hollow sits on the site of a former quarry and then pipe factory that was acquired by the Allegheny Land Trust in 1994 to protect it from landfill development. The factory structure has been engulfed by nature over the years, giving it an eerie, almost ethereal look. Its creepiness has made it a legendary spot to visit.
