I used to live near the area! I remember visiting before they put up the fence to keep you out... It was so eerie and I rarely get creeped out by that stuff. But a completely empty and evacuated town will give you the creeps when you stroll through
It's Centralia of the South! Nothing finishes off a place like a twister, believe me... That or a forest fire... Survived both in my time and it's really the heavens way of telling to you to move on!
Scott. I always enjoy your videos. I had a good friend who grew up and lived in Miami. Pronounced “ Miamah”” since it’s close to the “Missouah” border. I didn’t know about Picher and it’s a sad story. That part of northeastern Oklahoma can be very beautiful. I’m on the road traveling in a van and am now in the Sawtooths of Idaho. I’m taking videos and someday I’ll need your advice on editing. Cheers! Duke

Really cool presentation, as always. Thanks for sharing it, Scott! 👍🏼
Thank you! Been wanting to go for years!

The former residents didn't look at the bigger Picher

Indeed.
