Among The Unknown returns to Blue Mist Road for the FINAL time while also first, investigating Crossroads Cemetery. This time, this was the most active visit we’ve encountered.
Someone on Facebook replied this on one of my postings about this place regarding its history:
“You want the real truth about that property? Well here it is. All the urban legend stuff about Irwin Road, you can find on the web is completely made up. The road is not haunted and none of the properties ever had witches living at them.
That home and farmstead was owned by a botanist who worked for Pitt and his family. He helped layout and plant all of the pine trees in North Park when it was being built. In 1977 Allegheny County forced them to sell their property by eminent domain. They were an elderly couple and didn't want to leave but the county was ruthless. They eventually got forced out of their home. The county rented that house out for years after that to a county cop. The county tried to do the same thing to my parents property but they fought it and won. If you walk up the driveway, it is uphill, when you get to the top where it flattens out the farmhouse was on the right. You can barely tell a house was even there now. Farther towards the back of the property there was a large barn. That's where the Pepsi machine is. It was beautiful big farmhouse with a stained glass window right it the front. The house burned down in the late eighties. People broke into it and set fire to it. One of the reasons I don't like the urban legends seekers. The county tore the barn down some time in the mid 90s. I was in contact with one of the sons of that family. It was his parents wish to have their ashes scattered on the property. They wanted their final resting place to be there because they loved it there so much. That's why I don't like it when people call it the witches house. They don't know the history or people who once lived there. It was truly a sad tale for them. So when you are trespassing up there, just remember that is someone’s final resting place. The properties along Irwin Road were farms. A far cry from the murder and witches cult legend bullshit.”
Please take note of the sentences shown at the bottom of the video during scenes.

Despite the urban legends spread online, the true story of Blue Mist Road/Irwin Road is this: The home and farmstead (the foundation) was owned by a botanist who worked for Pitt and his family. He helped layout and plant all of the pine trees in North Park when it was being built. In 1977, Allegheny County forced them to sell their property by eminent domain. They were an elderly couple and didn't want to leave but the county was ruthless. They eventually got forced out of their home. The county rented that house out for years after that to a county cop. The county tried to do the same thing to my parents property but they fought it and won. If you walk up the driveway, it is uphill, when you get to the top where it flattens out the farmhouse was on the right. You can barely tell a house was even there now. Farther towards the back of the property there was a large barn. That's where the Pepsi machine is. It was a big farmhouse with a stained glass window right it the front. The house burned down in the late 80’s. The county tore the barn down some time in the mid 90s. It was the couples wish to have their ashes scattered on the property.
