The year is 1871, and Birmingham, Alabama, emerges from the ashes of the Civil War. Colonel James Withers Sloss, a visionary with iron coursing through his veins, erects Sloss Furnaces—a colossal beast of smokestacks and sweat. Its purpose? To forge pig iron, the lifeblood of a nation.

But within these rusted walls, a dance unfolds—a perilous waltz between mastery and catastrophe. Workers ascend iron stairways, their boots clanging against grates. Ladles heavy as burdens, sweat dripping into the inferno below. Sometimes, the gods demand a sacrifice. They fall—plummeting into the fiery abyss, their screams swallowed by flames.

Fast-forward to the early 1900s. Enter James "Slag" Wormwood, the cruel foreman. His eyes gleam with ambition, but his heart is as cold as the iron he commands. Nearly fifty souls meet their end on his watch. Allegedly, they rise against him, their hands blistered and scarred, hurling him into the searing furnace.

Today, Sloss Furnaces stands as a sentinel, exhaling memories. Brave souls tread its haunted corridors, hearing Slag's phantom voice—raspy, demanding. Shadows flit across rusted catwalks, and the air tastes of iron and sorrow.*

So, my fellow seekers, visit Sloss if you dare. Listen closely. Perhaps you'll hear the echoes—the whispers of lost souls, the clank of molten dreams, and the defiant cry of retribution.

And with that said, thanks for watching, my friends. Until next time, stay curious, stay brave, and may your nights be filled with both wonder and trepidation.

Feel the chill? The ghosts await. 🕯️👻
