Join us as we explore urban legends from one of the world's most famous universities, and dare to uncover the dark secrets that linger within a monsterous historic prison. Are you sure you're ready to brave what lies in store?

    Centralia is super easy to miss if you don't know where you are, but it's really mostly the vapors from the coal fires. Honestly, the scariest part of Centralia is the fact that the fire is unlikely to stop for several hundreds of years and will consume several towns, including several my fiance's family have homes on before it finally has no more fuel.

As a history nerd, this was always a place I’d wanted to visit but Gettysburg had an affect on me that I’ve never experienced before or since. I’m good never going again.

    I worked in the Cat and it is haunted. I remember being down in the store room and I remember walking down the hallway past the women's bathroom and nobody was in the bathroom yet the toilet flushed. In the store room a sleeve of cups just randomly fell, I was eating my salad and I felt someone or thing sat right beside me in the cafeteria when I sat down the spot was smooth while I was sitting a butt imprint was very visable had appeared out of nowhere. I played it off calmly got up and moved over to this giant table. I've heard feet running up the stairwell when no students were in the building at all, plus at the rate of speed that they were going it would've been humanly impossible to move that fast a person would break their legs or fall going up the steps.

    I was born in Philadelphia and lived there for 52 yeards. I now live in the Poconos. I worked downtown most of my life in Philly in the historic area and the city is so horrible haunted that those who born there don't even pay attention to what we see walking around, or hear. When i was a little girl in S. Philly I saw and/or heard a few ghosts in the older house. That entire city, and state, is embedded with the spirits of all those centuries. I've encountered ghosts all over PA. We accept it as part of the history of the state.

    I went to Gettysburg last month and it was interesting to say the least. Me, my sister, and my mom walked up the stairs of a crystal shop up to the second floor, I got super dizzy and nearly fell back down the stairs when I first stepped onto the second floor. We walked around the battle field and we were by one of the monuments and I swear to god I heard movements from in the forest as I was reading the monument. Sadly Little Round Top was closed when we went but we are going back over the summer.

    I live in Philly and have my entire life and haven't been to any of these places. Not even Eastern State Penitentiary. But there's this old jail named "Holmesburg Prison" that I swear id haunted but it's never been investigated to show but I just know. Everytime I drive by there for some reason it feels like it won't let me take my eyes off it until I cannot longer see it. No other place has ever made me feel like that but there's something with that place

    Torrance State Hospital as well. My mom worked there for 30+ years they did some really bad stuff to patients back in the early days. There is also very creepy my dark tunnels under that place. My mom used to take me there when i was a kid to pick up her check. i’ve seen stuff there. Alot of it is mostly abandoned now but still state property.
    Also St. Vincent’s Church is also supposedly haunted.

      Thanks for tuning in @imsotiredzz! Do you remember anything particularly creepy you saw when you were there?
