On a remote hillside in Muhlenberg County, overgro

On a remote hillside in Muhlenberg County, overgrown stone ruins are all that remain of an ambitious dream in the 1850s to produce and sell quality iron.

In 1855, Sir Robert Alexander, whose family made its fortune in the Scottish iron industry, decided to build an iron furnace along the banks of the Green River. Barry Duvall, a local historian, says that Alexander brought over 200 people and the steam engine from Scotland to build the iron furnace.

“In the meantime, he had people out at Paradise sawing lumber, building houses. And before long you had a full-blown town called Airdrie, Kentucky,” he said.

When it was completed, the iron furnace was the largest in the world. Hopes were high. All the ingredients for success were there: a rich supply of iron ore, an energy source in the form of the McClain Old Bank Coal Mine, and easy transportation via the Green River.

Building the furnace was one thing; running it was another.

“The process they tried to reproduce was not good for the iron ore they had in Muhlenberg County,” Duvall said.

Three attempts to run the furnace ended in failure. The first attempt blew out one of the boilers on the steam engine. A second attempt failed with an engine house accident. Alexander’s patience wore thin. He set a deadline, says Duvall: “‘If this thing isn’t running by this date, we’re quitting. That’s it.'”

On the third attempt they broke the shaft on the flywheel on the steam engine.

Alexander gave up. After spending over $300,000, he walked away from it all – the men, the ironworks, the town.

“I couldn’t imagine what the men must have felt, ” Duvall said. “You know, they left their homes and families in Scotland. They came here to work for Lord Alexander.”

Alexander set his sights on a new industry: Thoroughbred horses. He moved to Woodford County, where he established the enterprise that lives on today as Airdrie Stud.

As for Muhlenberg County, more coal found on the 20,000-acre site eventually helped make the county the world leader in coal production by the late 1960s and early 1970s.

All that remains of Lord Robert’s dream are the smokestack, the furnace, and numerous majestic archways..

180 Day's till Halloween... And I finally dined at

180 Day's till Halloween... And I finally dined at the Haunted Formosa cafe. I was so enthralled by Bugsy Siegal's personal safe. I got up twice to see it. Of course stopping to talk to the hosts and servers about the hauntings. And how barstools move. Glasses fall. Shadows are seen very often. They all told me it is true... It's haunted!

Movie stars 🌟 📽 🎞 Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Humphrey Bogart, James Dean, Lana turner and Elvis Presley would all go into the Formosa. To this day they say Brad Pitt comes in undercover to drink. Once John Wayne got so drunk they locked him in... And in the morning he got up and was making his own eggs.. What a place ... Mobsters, Bugsy Siegel and Mickey Cohen did lots of business in the old railroad car. And Bugsy has his own booth where the safe is.... Even though it went under a renovation.. The owners have said they kept the ghosts... (le sigh)

Elvis once tipped a waitress a Cadillac.. (swoon)

We dined in the Elvis booth

The Formosa cafe.... Haunted Hollywood..

The Haunted Moss Beach Distillery 👻 A residen

The Haunted Moss Beach Distillery 👻

A resident ghost, racketeering, bathtub gin..a once upon a time speakeasy. Definitely My kind of place

The actual evidence that has been presented in this haunting is off the charts. They were featured on unsolved mysteries, which I have personally watched over twenty times...

They did set up some side show trickery for the blue lady. And that's the resident ghost, but it's all in fun. And it's not like they're hiding it it's actually there right in front of you...

I have been reading about the mosque distillery, and I watched the unsolved mysteries episode when I was a kid. And i'm absolutely fascinated by this haunting..

The fact that it is still there and you can go in and enjoy a beautiful view with your dinner is amazing! Totally worth the drive up from so cal..

Now whether the folklore is true or not. She left her husband for the piano player and was stabbed on the beach for another man is true. You know no one will really ever know. There is so many stories!

The beautiful lady in blue was reportedly killed while walking on the beach below the restaurant with her lover. He was assaulted but survived. Here at the Moss Beach Distillery some say you may find her still searching for her lover.

I believe.. or truly want to believe it is haunted!
