Sloss furnaces is a National Historic Landmark located in Birmingham, Alabama that was open in the late 1800s to 1971. While it was operational it was a pig iron-producing blast furnace. In the early 1900s, James “Slag” Wormwood, was foreman of the “Graveyard Shift” and they had a skeleton crew of nearly 150 workers to keep the furnace going. Wormwood wanted to impress the bosses though, so he would make his workers take dangerous risks, forcing them to speed up production… In October of 1906, he was at the top of Big Alice, which was the highest blast furnace. He lost his footing and fell into a pool of melted iron ore. It is said that his body instantly melted. People say that he must have gotten dizzy from the methane gas but he had apparently never been to the top of the furnace in all his years working there. Ever since then there have been hundreds of reported paranormal experiences in the area…
Stay safe out there.
