This week, we’re heading to one of Pittsburgh’s most iconic (and secretly spooky) landmarks: The Omni William Penn Hotel—a gilded, glamorous giant that’s been towering over downtown since 1916. We’ve been inside the speakeasy in the basement, but the deeper history? That’s where things get dark. Once hailed as the “Grandest Hotel in the Nation,” the William Penn has hosted presidents, high-society galas, and thousands of travelers. But behind its marble floors and sweeping ballrooms are stories of heartbreak, violence, and spirits who never checked out. We break down the tragic murder of two longtime friends—both hotel employees—on the 18th floor locker room, a Prohibition-era salesman who took his own life in fear of mob retaliation, and the mysterious death of the woman who brought the first live panda to the U.S. But that’s just the beginning. The 22nd and 23rd floors are rumored to exist in a different time—with guests reporting décor frozen in the 1970s, unsettling stillness, and a feeling that the building is slipping into another dimension. Add in phantom piano music from the ballrooms, icy cold gusts on the 16th floor, apparitions that flick on lamps, and constant footsteps in empty hallways, and you’ve got a hotel where luxury and the paranormal collide.
