Sloss Fright Furnace is an annual haunted attraction held at Sloss Furnaces.
The event, held in October of each year since 1998, plays up reports of supposed paranormal activity at Sloss to help create its atmosphere. Marketers even created a new ghost story, about James "Slag" Wormwood, to lure people to the attraction. Wormwood is a fictional, abusive manager of the graveyard shift at Sloss from the early 1900s, who fell into the furnace and died instantly in October 1906. The story goes that his spirit continues to haunt Sloss.
