The Industrial Smokestacks

The Industrial Smokestacks in Simpson, Pennsylvania is included on ODDKNOWN because a source-recorded haunting or paranormal story is tied to the location. Source-reported background: The place is closed and deserted now, but when the factory was opened, one worker killed another worker who was in a wheelchair in the basement of this place. Reported activity: When you are in there at night witnesses report hearing things moving around and for some reason there is a wheelchair at the bottom of the stairway to the basement, and it seems to be in a different place every time you look away and turn back. The Shadowlands/TidyTuesday entry is a compiled report, so the paranormal claims are presented as folklore or witness reports rather than verified supernatural evidence.
