For info, the very short side trail (maybe 200 yards long) has been upgraded with crushed gravel into/through Dead Man's Hollow about 20 miles outside Pittsburgh just before Boston, PA. There's not really much to see albeit there is a couple of remaining concrete walls of former buildings now covered by graffiti.

There were no ghosts to be found at the time I passed through today. :-)

Not familiar with Dead Man's Hollow. Any stories you can share?
