    Thanks for the video! Unfortunately, as an American, I can confirm this is not real and cannot possibly have happened because Pennsylvania doesn't exist. Loved the video very informative and very entertaining.

    Btw, my mother has a sister who lives in Stockholm with her partner and children, and gets a silly level of excited when Sweden is mentioned at all (and collects Sweden themed items) So i told her i was watching a Swedish youtuber. She was indeed delighted by this. However, she did feel your name, Jeff, wasn't "swedish enough." sincerest apologies for my mother's Swedaboo behaviour. (sweeaboo? sweeboo? sverigaboo?)

    Sorry for the comment so long after the video has been posted, but I just recently found your content and its delightful.
    I visited Centralia early last year, seeing the active vent and in the middle of Pennsylvania winter, got warm enough to have to take my jacket off because of the temperature difference (and a long walk down the graffiti highway wore me out lol) I also took a nice quiet walk around the Odd Fellows cemetery which has the old vents, it was really cool.
    This was a great watch and anyone who can make it out there definitely take a trip and see it, its really something.

  • @theartistb11
    @theartistb11 3 місяці тому +1

    I've been there! About 10 years ago. It was the most bizarre road trip ever. There were groups of people cooking hotdog and marshmallows over the heat coming from some of the bigger cracks. Couldn't have been healthy to eat that, but thats what they were doing. It was also cra,y to see the few houses, especially the ones that were "row" houses, that clearly were meant to be attached like town homes, but now stood alone. Lastly the cemetery there in town, was still lovingly maintained and that stuck out a lot to me.

  • @bandgeekforlife406
    @bandgeekforlife406 Рік тому +7

    My family is from PA (we moved when I was 4), and I have never heard of Centralia, so this was interesting :)
    Also, I got a good laugh out of, "You're feeling warm? Don't worry about it, it's just the Pennsylvania climate!" Truly, it can get upsettingly warm in the Summer- upsetting mostly because of the humidity, so you can't cool off via the evaporation of sweat because the air is so saturated very little is evaporating; if anything, it's adding MORE moisture to your skin- but I still wouldn't call it a generally warm climate. Temperate, at most.
    Then again, I now live near Phoenix, Arizona, so most places don't qualify as "warm" from my view. This may simply be a matter of perspective.
    Edit: I have asked my mother, and she knows about Centralia. I'm disappointed she never thought this might be something I'd be interested in hearing about :(
    Edit2: 10:40 PA residents can be remarkably stubborn about some things. This is one of the things that has lead to such events as the booing of Santa Claus at an American football game in Philadelphia, and the somewhat aggressive position that a Philly Cheesesteak is illegitimate unless it's actually been made *IN* Philadelphia. No matter how accurately it's made. (I know, I only mentioned Philly, but those are the most obvious examples I could think of.)

    My siblings has been there for a geology class trip. She said the famous road is gone. And there wasn’t much except sidewalks and trees. But it still was fascinating and eerie. It’s good that no one died there
    Also if you want to learn about another horrifying town look into Johnstown in PA. I had to learn a horrifying amount about it in a high school class for a day. 1889. The entire town flushed away. In the middle of the night in a rain storm that destroyed a large artificial pond that had dams owned by a hunting club that broke and there was no time to warn people. Oh and there is photographs of the rubble. It’s just everything is flattened….

Smoke coming out of the hills, bone white dead trees all over the hills, and then this....just immaculate cemetery. Just ignore all the shotgun shells all over the ground, the locals get bored.
