I’m reminded of my late dad and his words of wisdom. Its not the dead that you need to worry about, it’s the live ones that will hurt you. 😢.
My grandfather told me that. He was a funeral director, and my two older brothers and I eventually followed in his footsteps. As a kid I had no problem going downstairs to use the bathroom in the middle of the night with the deceased down there, because I trusted Pop's words.
aww, i'm sorry♥
Mmm if only he saw what I’ve seen…the paranormal can an will hurt you
No atheists in foxholes.
@@blacksnapper7684can you elaborate?? For my interest not because I’m being mean 😂
Peter Santenello did a show on Whittier, Alaska where the whole town lives in one building. The town really isn't creepy and, as usual, his documentary was quite interesting.
No kidding, that’s not creepy, just curious and unique. I’ve seen much creepier abandoned buildings in downtown Detroit 😂
Yea, when it popped up I was like, its just isolated, not creepy.
That was a great video. The woman who gave him the tour was the sweetest!
Yeah, I saw that too. People seemed very happy. Neighbors all knew each other and socialized regularly
In summer they can enjoy the gorgeous outdoors of Alaska.
Saw that too!
I had an extremely weird experience starting in Kit Carson, Colorado. I was passing through on my way to Colorado Springs, and my GPS started turning me around. I stopped at a closed gas station and rebooted it. It wasn't that late at night, but it was dark and there were no cars, no people. I checked the map on my way out and had anticipated turning onto a particular highway for the last leg, and that was a few miles outside of town. My GPS turned me left while still in town, so I followed it, maybe it was a shortcut to the highway. No houses, no lights, really windy road, I only saw one trailer with a light on, and then a stoplight at an intersection in the middle of nowhere. Kept going, and in no time I was in Colorado Springs.
On my way back, my GPS took me down the highway I was anticipating taking, looked completely different than the way I came in. When I got home, I thought about it and decided to look on the map again to see which road I took to get to Colorado Springs from Kit Carson. I remember exactly where I turned in town, but there was no road there. Nothing. I also remembered what time I was in Kit Carson, and when I got to Colorado Springs. It should have taken me 2 hours, but I made it there in one. Where the hell did I go?
I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens.
There are actually a number of very small towns, abandoned places and old roads that might not appear on a lot of maps.
You can go on google maps and look at your location history. It'll tell you exactly where you were and at what time. Check it out and update us 😨

One of the things I love most about your family is that you guard your children's hearts. 💞
Overprotective, which isn't good. They'll show them weapons of war and the violence in sports, but not this silly "haunting" video? Makes no sense to me.
@@jaelynn7575good point
Yeah I totally agree. It's not that I have anything against them, but as a parent myself I do question their thought process @@jaelynn7575
Centralia PA is coal country. There are mines and large veins of coal underneath. Ever since it was set on fire, the fumes can cause releases of carbon monoxide and other deadly gas. After the coal is burned, a large empty space is left. So the ground collapses. Nearby places have had issues but not nearly as bad as the entire underground catching fire.
Visited there a couple years ago with my father but sadly wasn't any smoke and its turnpike was filled up with dirt but was cool to see anyway
Centralia may be dangerous and ran down, but it certainly isn’t “shut off” from the outside. You can still drive through it and it truly is in a BEAUTIFUL area of Appalachia.
The Marshall plane crash happened at the Huntington Tri-state airport. Its an hour away from Pt. Pleasant. Including it here is a stretch. Also, the floods happened on the Ohio river affecting everyone along the river all the way to Kentucky. Also a stretch to attribute it to the curse on Pt Pleasant.
I remember the Rajneesh thing. I lived in Oregon close to Portland and used to see them walking around my town,playing tambourines and singing. They also tried to convert my grandfather who is a pastor,it didn’t go well for them😂
When the guy started talking about Cairo Illinois and said it was at the confluence of the two rivers, it showed an image of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, not Cairo.
Whittier Alaska is beautiful! The people are friendly and the hiking is amazing.
I'm from WV and it is worth a visit, the town with a dead end road is a run down coal town. When the mine shuts down the town dies and the woods take over. Fall with the trees turning is a big time to view. The New River and Blue Ridge are two big ones to see. Also north of point pleasent close to parkersburg is Blenerhassett Island and on the other side at Harper's Ferry were homes of early revolts to the young US. Btw in Charleston the Craig Patton House was the home of the man who killed Washington and later the grandfather of General Patton III. Many civil war sites, rivers and hills. If you get lost just follow water downhill and you will find a town at somepoint. BTW the New river is the oldest river in the world and gets the name as it cuts through the mountains to flow a new direction than most eastern rivers. It enters the kanawha, then ohio then out the mississippi.
lol grew up in beckley.
go WV having 2 entries!
Don't pay no attention to the West Virginia back road towns. They are old coal mine towns. The people there just aren't used to visitors. My family is from areas just like that in Kentucky.
When I was there it looked like it did in the great depression photos. How do people in the US still live like this. Very uneducated, and no indoor water in a few places.
@LJBSullivan A lot of them live in those small areas because they want the peaceful life. A lot of them have good paying jobs also.
@@LJBSullivan maybe some people just want to live a calm and peaceful life away from the cities. That’s what’s so great about America, it’s diverse and allows people to have the freedom to live their life how they want to.
I really wish people would quit trolling West Virginia . It’s a great state. Check out Hatfield -McCoy trails. You can ride your own or rent out ATVs and ride all around the well marked trails in the mountains. ATVs are allowed on the roadways down there.
Absolutely! The media started that garbage during the Hatfield and McCoy feud. Made everyone look like savages that killed each other over a pig! It went deeper than that. It was a timber and land dispute that boiled over.
Well, the original video was made by some dork who doesn't like small towns, so he's not that bright.
@@jonalberts980 Yeah, the picture of the town in Illinois I think, was actually a night view of Pittsburgh. Lol
@@gingersnap22 I will avoid watching his videos...AT ALL COSTS!!! 😱
I lived in Bath Michigan for years. It had a single Main Street through town. Back in the 1920's a farmer who was on the school board drove his tractor to the school loaded with explosives and fire-bombed the school, killing 38 elementary school children and wounding many more. Then he murdered his wife, went back to the school, and smilingly, shot himself. He was angry because he lost an election for township clerk. It was known as the Bath school massacre. I walked past the school every day and you could just feel the anger and hate. This was all before the internet, so now I google it and I am amazed to find out what I lived with every day.
I grew up in Laingsburg! We learned about this in 8th grade, it was quite shocking! I never got any vibes going to Bath schools for sporting events though.
For the references to The Mothman, you might want to do a little more research on the topic. It is hard to explain in a few words. But, my mother grew up in the 1930’s on top of a mountain in WV, in a very rural location, and she never experienced anything the least paranormal. The only scary story she described was when she, and her siblings were out in the woods behind their house, avoiding chores and my grandmother dressed up in an 1920’s raccoon coat (pulled up over her head) and scared my mom and aunts into thinking a bear was after them, to get them back into the house to finish their chores.
There have been a few different stories of encounters with the Mothman, usually involving teenagers getting chased by a giant unknown flying creature. Weston, WV is a nice town to visit if you are into creepy stuff like this. They give ghost tours at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum and have events all year round. The nearby Jackson's Mill and Stonewall Lake State park are also great places to visit as well if you are in that area.
Just because your mom never had any paranormal experiences doesn't mean that nobody else ever has.
Maybe Mothman was created by moonshiners.
@@MarthaGonzalez-jm3vn Uh, no.
@@FaceAway-xb9hd Tell that to the hundreds of people who saw it.
Orlando has some crazy ghost stories like the haunted highway, the floating head of winter park, satan’s chair, the ghost of the fire house, and spook hill. A lot of ghosts here are connected with old unsolved murders. St Augustine is worse with ghost pirates haunting the river, the bride of the fort, and the ghostly soldier. Florida is a haunted place especially from its past.
I’ve been to Centralia. It’s that creepy. The fire is expected to burn for another 250 years.
I worked at a mom & pop pizza place when I was 18, and had a good relationship with the mom, she was like a mother figure to the young guys who worked there. I took a better paying job after a year or so, but still had friends that worked there and the place was a bit of a social hub, so I saw her occasionally after, but she sadly passed from cancer. A few months later some friends and I planned to go to a concert out of town, and we wouldn't get back until quite late. I was driving, but had them meet me at the restaurant because it was a good spot to pick them up on the way and drop them off after, as they lived on the far other side of town. The owner and staff knew their car as well, and I think one of them still worked there, so it was cool. Anyways, after the show I park in front of the restaurant to drop them off, and there was a pop machine out front, so I got out and had a drink, they did too, and we stood around chatting about the concert for a minute before going our separate ways. One of my pals brought up the lady who passed, saying something like it's weird going in there and she's not around, when I shit you not, at that moment a car alarm went off at the used car dealership across the four lane street. Horn honking, headlights flashing, we were in shock. Then after a minute it just stopped. There could be a rational explanation, a security guard messing with some punk kids at 3am or a stray cat triggering the alarm, but because it happened right after she was fondly mentioned I like to think she was just saying hello.
From what I read the Penna coal fire is not only growing but a second fire 75 miles away will eventually threaten another town.
Those fires are devastating.😢
While driving cross country decades ago, I stopped for food at a small rural town in Ohio. While waiting for my meal, a creepy old man approached me & asked me if I would be interested in modeling my face for a mannequin. Just for giggles, I said sure. After my meal, I went to his studio, which was occupied by hundreds of creepy mannequins. I turned around & walked out.
Do you mean mannequins?
I can't believe you went! I would've been too scared. 😱 My first thought was that he wanted your face ON the mannequin! So creepy! Glad ya made it out!
@@tabithathompson5 Indeed thx
One of my childhood best friends dated someone who was related to the family murdered at the Ax House in Villisca, Iowa. She says he took her there to tour the house. Creepy! Also, hello from Roswell, New Mexico, the UFO Capital of the United States. You should bring the kids to our annual UFO Festival one year. It's held around the 4th of July. Our family loves your videos. Keep up the good work!
The only time we drove through Roswell, back around 1990, your town hadn't yet adopted it's UFO reputation, so there was nothing to see. I just wish the Festival was not during the hottest part of the year, or I would have visited.
Another great reaction!
When you are in Florida, it would be great if you could visit St Augustine. St Augustine is the oldest city in the continental US. Founded by the Spanish in 1565. It's on the top of so many list of favorites and most haunted cities in the US.
Some of those creepy towns are for real. Point Pleasant WV is ok. There’s a great scary movie called the Mothman Prophecies with Richard Gere that’s great, all about the story of Mothman. One thing that bugs me about this video is that when they show Cairo Illinois they show a picture of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania which is a nice city but no where near Illinois. I don’t know why they do that. Centrailia PA has a mine fire that they can’t put out which is sad. It continually burns but it’s underground. Good one guys!😄
I have a freaky story. My sister and I ran away from home to get away from our abusive father when I was 10 years old. We stayed in an abandoned building and put an old coffee can outside the door to catch the rain for something to drink (It started raining shortly after we found the abandoned buildings). We stayed the night. The buildings were in a large area under a long footbridge that kids used to get to the junior high school. Anyways. We decided to explore the place the next day. In one of the abandoned buildings was a rolled up tarp that looked like it contained a dead body to us young ones. We got outta there real quick. To make a long story short. We got caught when we snuck home and we’re peaking in the window. We were running back to the abandoned area, when the cops caught us.
You got away alive. That's a good thing.
You and your sister are very brave.Stay strong
@@ARRCEE618 … Thank you 😊. Not so strong anymore though. My sister got put in a horrible girls home and I had to wait ‘til my brother would go upstairs to go to the bathroom and stuff like that, so dad couldn’t catch me alone. Our mom was gone for four years during that time. She came back and took me away. My brother stayed with dad. Anyways. After my sis left the girls home, she lived with mom too. Her and I traveled a lot from our teens on, mostly hitchhiking where we went. We even hitchhiked across country from western N.Y. to California. That was fun. Now I’m 70 years old and hardly leave the house anymore (health) and my sister went to our maker in 2019.
@@nemo227 … True.
@@dianefiske-foy4717 RIP to your sister. May god be always with you.
My friend and I were driving through Colorado City, AZ on our way from the Grand Canyon to Zion National Park. We saw no people except the police car that stopped us to ask what we were doing there. We answered, the cop let us go, but followed us until we left the city limits. It was sooo uncomfortable.
Because of the FLDS CULT THAT LIVES THERE their leader is in prison for child exploitation charges
If you look at the things that the police get away with in big cities, with millions of people around, just imagine what they get away with in towns like that.
Any town can be creepy... I live in a city that dates back to colonial times. The first city to have gas street lamps. If you drive around wgen it's foggy, and the moon is perking at you from between dark clouds, it can look creepy. And lots of old mansions, like the one that was used as the façade of Barnabas Collins' house
Collingwood! How cool is that!!
@nicolethompson8613 yeah....the university used to rent it during the academic year. So some people can say they've lived there. I think it's a B&B now, so you can, too!
@@LindaC616 that is awesome!! I am going to have to tell my bestie, we started watching it this year and absolutely love it, silliness and all 😁
@@nicolethompson8613 enjoy! I am barely old enough to remember it. My brother took me to one of the films in the movie theater when I was 5 or 6, way to young to be watching that stuff! I may have to try again just for the local value. But the only thing to my knowledge that they used was the façade of the house. Still, it is creepy inside and the stories abound.
Estes Park Colorado is home to the Stanley Hotel. The Shining was inspired by Steven King's stay at the Stanley and is reported to be haunted -- never experienced anything there myself. The hotel itself is amazing to visit if you ever go to Colorado.
I've been there it is beautiful. I didn't stay just stopped and looked on the way to Estes Park which is AMAZING.
I saw a documentary about Centralia and I saw the news story of the woman who had the baby cut out of her! Creepy af! 😱 Thank you for sharing this with us and the world! 👍 Much love from Oklahoma My NZ Family! ❤
I live in Ashland which is the next town over from Centralia and the whole 'baby being cut out' story is completely untrue. That's a lot of other weird rumors about that town that are completely false. Centralia was a normal town like anywhere else until the underground fires got out of control. People were evacuated and the town burned except for the white church on top of the hill, which is what really inspired Silent Hill. Centralia was a nice little town with a certain charm to it.
@@Whats-It-To-Ya The baby being cut out of the mother is from Missouri, not Centralia. 👍
@@paulvamos7319 oh ok that makes sense now because I never heard about that before.
Been to Centralia when you could still drive through it. It was a little weird that most of the homes were gone. I personally wouldn't live there.@@Whats-It-To-Ya
@@sheram5949 I know, it is weird. Centralia is about a 15 minute walk through the woods from my house. Sometimes I'll take the dog with and take a walk thru there. Most of the houses either sunk into the ground or caught on fire and were tore down and the debris hauled away. It was just another mining town like most towns around here but it was well kept. I was just a kid when the town was being evacuated and some of the people that refused to leave ended up dieing from smoke inhalation and a few even burned to death. It was tragic.
It’s so peaceful watching you guys
💯🇺🇸Albuquerque New Mexico in the house with love and support for our honorary American family🎉🎉🎉 tell a friend about this channel
I can't think of creepy places but I can think of odd things happening around people. My folks have a friend who when she takes photos, there're extra people often in the photo. 'Course there are a lot of photos of my family with those orbs and even on digital cameras or smartphones. A particular story I like is that according to my mom I used to babble in my crib. Babies usually babble, true, but I, when alone, was apparently quite silent so it's strange that I'd just start talking when no ones there. I stopped doing that when I slept in a real bed. But even a little after that, I can recall vague memories of my mom asking me why I kept saying goodnight to grandpa T. as opposed to grandpa R.; in other words the one I couldn't've known as he had passed away over a decade before my birth.
Aloha NZ Fam, hope yall have a good trip, love the videos
If I’m not mistaken, the building in Whittier was built for the U.S. Army to house soldiers during the early days of the Cold War
Unfortunately they dug up Graphitti highway in Centralia to prevent curious visitors. I miss the parties out there. Also, couldn't stop staring at the Bug-a-salt gun in the floor :) so fun
I just saw there was a shooting at the State Fair in Texas. I hope y'all aren't scared to go now. What a terrible thing to happen while you're here. Please don't think less of us.
They would not have known about it if you didn't open up your big trap
@@jeffhampton2767 no need to be rude.
@@Suprachiasmatic Truth hurts
Me, my husband and our two children who were around 3 yrs old and 15yrs old went to Point Pleasant, WV intentionally about 13 yrs ago to check out the Mothman stuff. It's actually kind of cool. The paintings they are showing are painted on the stone walls along the river where the bridge is. It's actually quite beautiful there. If you decide to stop there remember to check out the small shops. There is one with a small museum inside with videos about Mothman etc.
The opening pic in the video for Cairo, Illinois was Pittsburgh Pennsylvania not Cairo.
Thanks for not exposing your wonderful kids to that video! Again come on up to New England upstate NY during the fall! Salem ma would be great for the kids in October- Halloween time!
The best place to be in the fall🍁🎃👻
Point Pleasant is actually nice
I love Point Pleasant. If ya wanna know more about the mothman. Watch the movie. Its sorta accurate. Its actually is laid back and cool.
I live about 45 minutes from Brodhead, WI and I've driven through it several times. It doesn't come off as that creepy to me from the little I have seen of the city. It's not a place I would want to live since it's out in the middle of nowhere, but I think there are worse places than Brodhead.
Famous last words.
Near my town of Reno there's a town called Virginia City. it's a long drive. it's close but it's atop a long twisty turney mountain road... it's EXTREMELY haunted, and I was there a few years back and went on the ghost tour. I am FASCINATED with the paranormal. LOVE IT!
I grew up about 20 miles north of Centralia, PA, and we drove through there many times each year to visit family near Lancaster. In the early to mid-70s, you had to look for the pipes coming out of the ground to see the smoke. Centralia was a pretty town, and the best times to drive through were near the Fourth of July and Christmas when the houses were decorated the whole length of town. Things got dangerous in the 80s as the fire made the ground unstable, so people started moving out. It was startling to drive though town and see where houses had been torn down and brick buttresses built to support the remaining houses. Eventually, there were only a couple houses remaining; then they closed the highway, and the bypass was always smoky. Through the winter and rainy weather, the heated ground made the roads dangerously foggy. It was said throughout the later years that the holdouts in town were convinced the government was waiting until everybody was gone to dig it all up, put out the fire, and make money on the coal, which was totally unfeasible. Beautiful countryside, sad story.
I love how the picture for Cairo was actually a picture of downtown Pittsburgh PA....
I live across the street from a graveyard and there's a house in ruins on my property. I see unexplainable stuff almost everyday. My niece also found undeveloped photos on the property of a boy in chains.
Woah! I hope she turned them in. Yikes!
Hey Sam. In your story at the end of the video you might be describing the Starlight Inn & Restaurant in northeastern PA. It really sounds like it. I don’t know what the place looked like in 2004 unfortunately.
Great video!!! Whittier, AK is a neat place to visit and learn about the area. If you live there, hopefully you're one of those people who gets along with everyone.
Point Pleasant has had more than it's fair share of bad instances, but it's a beautiful place, and it has nice people.
Centralia, PA is a crazy place. I've been there a couple of times (before they closed off some of the roads). It is very eerie to walk around since you know there's 99.9% chance there's fire under the ground you're currently standing on. The smoke wisping up from the cracks - especially near the cemetery - is creepy! Definitely see why it would make someone think about a horror movie!
Auburn, WV is simply a tiny mountain village where most, if not all, of its residents fall below the poverty line. State route 74 is its one main road, but it doesn't just end. The person in the story probably took one of the old country roads within the town. The people standing on their porches looking at him weirdly silent is probably because they don't get many people on that road.
More of this. LOVE y'all so much! God bless!
Concerning the small town where people watched the guy ride through, to be fair, if it is like the small town I currently live outside of, we watch out for one another and each other's kids and such. when a stranger comes down our road ( it's a dead end), of course we look to see. It doesn't mean it is some horror movie type town or that the people are bad. I live on a dirt road in a log cabin in the woods and I have literally been sitting with my morning coffee on the porch and watched a tourist toss a McDonald's bag out of their car window as they passed and it landed on my neighbor's property. Unfortunately for them, they did not know it was a dead end, so my neighbor waited for them to turn around and waved them down so he could return their garbage. It happens all of the time out here and so yes, locals keep a watchful eye on visitors because sadly some of them ( not all but some) visit and trash the area instead of just enjoying the outdoors.
I love how the first image shown for Cairo IL is actually a picture of Pittsburgh PA It's an arial of Three Rivers/The Point.
Having lived in Alaska for a decade, I LOVE Whittier! The tunnel is so neat going in and out of town. Yall HAVE to visit AK sometime.
I agree with you! It’s just too freaky. I haven’t visited any of these these towns but I had to take care of my grandmother for a whole summer before I entered 8th grade. She had dementia and a broken arm. I was always taking butcher knives away from her because she would try to cut her cast. One evening I couldn’t get to sleep so I got up, went into the living room to read. I was really into the book when I heard footsteps on the back steps . I listened closely because the back screen door had opened and then I heard the big door open. I was terrified and halfway between fight or fright when I heard the footsteps coming down the back hall into the kitchen. There was a heavy swinging door between the kitchen and the dining room and grandma wanted it closed at night. The footsteps stopped right at the kitchen side of the door when I got ahold of a baseball bat and put my face right at the area where the door would open. I tried to make my voice sound older and menacing and said, “Mister, if you don’t turn around, go out the back door and take off I’m going the bean your head like I was hitting a fastball. Get out of grandma’s house! I heard a nervous laugh and heard the person running down the hallway . The back doors opened and closed and I heard the person running around the house. I was so scared I couldn’t move at first but I had to go lock those doors. So I asked God to go with me and my bat to go lock the back doors. Imagine how I felt to find the doors locked and bolted! Both the screen door and the heavy wooden door. I called my uncle Henry and asked him to please come over and check the house. When he got to the house (he only lived a couple of blocks away) uncle Henry ask me to tell him everything that happened and don’t leave out a thing. Them he told me about the ghost of the son of the family who first lived there. He said who it was because he’d seen the boy before he died and after too. My uncle told me th boy wouldn’t hurt me. And I did the right thing to call my uncle, and that the boy likes to stay in the attic too. After uncle Henry left, I said I was sorry I scared you and threatened you, too. You know my uncle Henry and he promised you wouldn’t hurt me because I scared you.when I think about it now, I was just scared as I have never been since that night. I have also seen the ghost of a young lady from the Civil War era, a priest who stays in my church. My daughter saw him once, too, and although I don’t see my mom, I know it is her because she she’ll rub my upper arm to calm me, but she will grab a handful of a hair on the back of my head a give it a swift tug that doesn’t hurt. I’m happy that she visits and let’s me know it is her. Have a great time on your trip.
I went through Point Pleasant a few months ago and it wasn't weird at all. I stopped and walked around a little bit, checked out the Mothman statue. Seemed like a nice little town.
Point Pleasant WV is a lovely small town full of rich history and really good pizza. The Mothman Festival attracts thousands of people every year
We Are Marshall movie with Matthew McConoughay is a really good watch.
I've been to Whittier, and I live in Fairbanks. Alaska is so amazing
I was just in point pleasant not to long ago on a trip!! It was such a beautiful city. So is the surrounding area!
I really enjoyed this almost as much as your daughter’s cooking videos ( although I do love all you guys do ) I would really like to see more videos like this. I’m in Cape Girardeau Missouri, and around a half an hour from Cairo Illinois. I drive through there every time I go to Nashville and I try to get through it as quickly as I can just because of how rough of an area it is.
Many years ago I was visiting San Francisco and I took a tour of Alcatraz and I took a photo down the cell block over top of everyone's head. When I developed the photo (yes I actually still print out my photos) there was a white wispy haze in the middle of the cell block. It was so weird. The entire time we were there I felt something strange sort of following the tour group as we walked along especially in one particular area. As soon as we left the jail and got back on the boat the feeling left me.
America is so big, you could run into Patrick Bateman or a Norman Bates within the same town, and they know each other.
Yes!!!! That Suns sweater!!! ❤
Destination Adventure visited Whittier Alaska a couple of years ago. He posted a video where he talked to residents and explored the old building.
I grew up in Savannah, GA - family's been there for 250 years - can vouch - haunted to the teeth!!
Love Denzel's Mustang metal sign. One of (if not THE) best fighters in WWII. It's at every airshow and at the end of the movie for Top Gun II - That one is actually Tom Cruiz's plane that he restored (or paid to have restored). Maybe you should do a Movie reaction to "Maverick" :)
It looks like I have 10 towns on my bucket list.
I’m from a town called Shamokin, Pa and Centralia is just about 30 minutes away. We driven through there and it is very eerie because the forest swallowed the buildings but it’s true there are still people who live there. The nearby towns like Shamokin, Mount Carmel, Kulpmont and Ashland claim that the coal fires will reach them in about 7000 years I think was the estimated how long. But the road you saw with graffiti it’s very popular place for nearby communities. But last I read is they do plan on destroying the road to prevent people from driving and graffitiing the road.
Thanks ❤️ Much Love!
In southern New Jersey (South Jersey) is an area called the pine barrens, it's miles upon miles of mostly pine trees. There is a large forest called Wharton State forest. The New Jersey Devil was born in this forest and haunts South Jersey. I grew up in NJ a little over one hour drive away. When I was about 12, the mid-80's, one night I had a friend sleeping over and we heard a loud scratching noise on the back of the house. We ran down to my mom who heard it too, but didn't go outside, it was dark. She called the police station who said they are getting calls from all over town from prople who heard the same noise. My mom said there are weird noises in NJ, she was from Illinois. The next day looking at the back of the house there was no damage whatsoever. Not a scratch.
I've been to Centralia, PA a few times. Quite sad really, but very interesting to explore.
I went to Whittier in March for a temporary fishwry job. There was a blizzard going in, and it looked like a hirror movie setting. Me and my coworkers all said "Okay, wheres the monster?" Once we got out at the docks
There is actually a movie about "Mothman".
I grew up in a haunted house in New Hampshire. We had moaning, groaning, whistling and voices. Sounds of shattering glass, stuff would move/float, the cats and dog didn't like certain parts of the house either.
A friend & I had a ghostly encounter while in Las Vegas, Nevada. My friend had a time share that she wanted to use before the year ended, & chose to go to Las Vegas w/me for a week. We stayed @ the Marriot on the 21st floor. We had adjoining rooms since she requested we have separate beds. Since she was the one who had the time share, she got the suite, & I got the standard room. Her room was big. It had a cabinet w/a small stacked washer & dryer for clothes, a kind of great room which consisted of a full kitchen, a dining area & just passed that a small living room area. The door to her bedroom, which was completely separated from the living area, was to the right between the living room & dining area. The bedroom itself also housed a jetted tub & the bathroom sink & mirror. You had to go passed them thru a door to get to a very large shower & the commode. I mention the bath & sink area because it comes into the story. Anyway, the connecting door between our rooms opened @ the dining area on her side, & 3 feet away from the foot of the bed & just to the right of it on my side. Ok, on the 3rd night, strange things happened. We had just finished watching a program on TV @ 10pm when we decided to go to bed. She went to her room & I went to mine. She left her bedroom door open & I always left the connecting door open. Although I was in bed, I decided to watch UA-cam on the TV in my room. Around 1am, I shut off the TV to try & sleep. A couple of minutes after lying down, I thought I had caught some sort of movement on the white connecting door. Ambient light was coming in from the widow in the living area because we never closed those curtains. I stared @ the door waiting to see if I saw something move again. As I watched, I saw a person's shadow move one way & then the other way across the door. It was like someone was pacing back & forth in the living room area. Logically, I thought it was my friend, & that maybe she couldn't sleep. I noticed the shadow had stopped moving, & then it moved one last time to sit down in the chair in front of the living room window. I sighed & got out of bed heading to the connecting door. I was about to say "I guess u couldn't sleep either..." , but the words never left my mouth. I was peering into the living room, & no one was there. Although it was dark in that section, enough outside light came in for me to be able to see. I went thru a few seconds of confusion. I was now standing in the dining area scanning the living room & then the kitchen, still no one. I quietly walked over to my friend's bedroom & peeked in. She was in bed asleep w/her television on. I scratched my head. I walked over to the kitchen flicked on the light to get a better look around & I double checked the slide bolt on the door & the knob lock. Everything was as it should be. I shrugged my shoulders, shut off the light & went to bed. Next morning, I went to my friend's bedroom to wake her. We had plans for the day. I sat on the edge of the bed watching her put her makeup on. As she was applying her foundation, she glanced @ me thru the mirror & said "Did u notice anything weird last night?" I looked @ her w/surprise & replied "Now that u mention it..." I told her about what I witnessed during the night. She said "That really is something, if it makes u get out of bed to check it out." I asked what happened to her since she was the one to bring it up. She said she was asleep when she heard a clattering noise in the bathtub sink area of the room. She got up to investigate, only to find the hand towel she draped across the edge of the sink & her hairbrush on the floor. She told me she could easily explain away the hand towel being there, but not her hairbrush. She said she placed the hairbrush to the back of the sink counter below the mirror. There was no way it could have just slipped off the sink counter falling in the same spot as the hand towel. When she went back to bed, she picked up her phone putting it in night vision & began filming around the bedroom. After reviewing the footage, she found that she caught an orb quickly darting across the top of the bedroom heading to the bathtub area before disappearing. That's that. I have few strange experiences like that @ different places & times. Sorry I was so long winded, so to speak. U asked for a weird experience story, & I told one.😊 Anyway, happy travels when u come here to the USA.😊
Check out the Water Gardens and Fort Worth Stock Yards when yall are in Fort Worth TX yall will definitely enjoy the experience.
Point Pleasant is actually a pretty nice town. I used to go there all the time, as I live maybe an hour away. It's definitely creepy, and yeah they have a big statue of Mothman right in the center of town. They even have a Mothman festival every year, it's pretty fun. Also, the 1970 Marshall University plane crash didn't happen anywhere near Point Pleasant, it happened in Kenova, West Virginia - over 50 miles away. They made a decent movie about it called "We Are Marshall" and filmed parts of it in Huntington, where Marshall is located. Matthew McConaughey is in it. A few of my friends were in it as extras as well. Also, they physically have no way to put the fire in Centralia out. It's set to burn for the next 200 years or more. And MrBallen did a story on that guy from Skidmore. He wasn't just shot in front of the entire town, he was basically surrounded by the entire town so he couldn't leave, and two of them shot him to death when he got in his truck. Literally everyone in Skidmore denied seeing anything, and the police were forced to give up because no one would talk. He had it coming.
Yes, you should believe your husband about the orbs. We went on a tour of the Stanley House in Estes Park, Colorado; the hotel that they filmed the movie "The Shining" in. And the tour guide told us to take pictures of ourselves with our camera and that when we got the film developed (this was before iPhonea), that we might be surprised with what we saw. So, we got our film back and yes, there were different orbs all around us, different colors and sizes.
I just watched MrBallens latest video and came straight here. It was crazy to hear that reference
Paranormal teams stay overnight in the Villisca axe murder house. Not tourists.
You folks are very cool. Thank you for really appreciating what America really stands for. Thank you very much.
To me, I think the creepiest challenge are Charlotte, South Carolina and Savannah, Georgia, and there's a couple small towns in North Carolina but I just got the chills with all the time...
They mention Silent Hill being based on Centralia but Nothing But Trouble was based on it first in 1991. It's a creepy comedy with Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, John Candy and Demi Moore
As a resident, of Oregon and someone who has been to Analope Oregon. Yes, it is very strange there!!
Omg! The Mr Ballen shoutout!
Some more paranormal type creepiness includes the Ozark Spook Light in Missouri, the Devil's Tramping Ground in North Carolina, ( also home to the famous Brown Mountain Lights) , and the Winchester Mystery House in California. Nice different video, guys.
I've been to some real haunted locations a few years ago when I was on a paranormal team as their videographer. At one location in Bountiful, Utah we were hosting a community event with 15 other people to come along. The house is called, The Viewmont House (Anson Call House). It was built back in the mid 1800's. I was down in the basement with 2 of the guest and we smelt a strong sulfur smell that lasted for like 3 or so minutes. One dude decided to walk into a closet down in the basement and the door slammed behind him. He screamed so loud and pushed the door open and ran out of the basement. He didn't go into the house the rest of the night. I don't think the paranormal team and I saw him at anymore public investigations again after that too. He told us he saw a goat headed figure pop out from around the corner in the closet when the door slammed. I don't blame him for being terrifying. I have many more experiences from other locations that are pretty crazy as well. But it would takes hours to tell them all.
👍👍
6:07..... I live about 30 minutes away from Centralia.
Until the mine fire, it was your typical small Pennsylvanian town: quiet, peaceful, and happy! In fact, rarely do things happen. Say, the town gets a new red light/traffic signal, it'd be the talk of that town for weeks.
Centralia was once a progressive beautiful town.
They had always burned their trash in a pit next to one of the coal mine veins.
The last time the wall between had crumbled enough to allow embers to pentrate the mine.
Yeah I admit that would be a creepy thing to encounter at a hotel.
@ 8:13 They actually show Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Can't mistake that skyline, yellow bridges, and the 3 rivers.
The tv series "Forensic Files" did an episode on those cult poisonings in Antelope, Oregon. It's actually a pretty insane story.
There's a pretty nice fish and chips shop in Whittier Alaska, the first town mentioned. If you search "Eating in Alaska's Hidden One Building Town" you'll find a video that makes the town seem more quaint and charming than creepy. I wouldn't mind visiting there tbh.
I’m sure there’s storytellers in other towns across the USA but I will saying being in New England we have some really great stories so much so I remember multiple folklore storytellers coming to my school just to tell stories and after school as an adult there is always one at a festival
I've seen vloggers go to Whittier, Alaska. It's very interesting and not creepy at all.
I live in Anchorage, Alaska. The people in Whittier don't all live in one building. There are so many more haunted places here than Whittier. I've never really heard very many storeies about the town. We are about to be in many hours of darkness, starting about 4 pm. Utquiavik (formerly known as Barrow) will see their last sunrise soon, for about sixty-five days. They are at the very top of Alaska. I'm from the Aleutian Chain, much warmer there then up north. Hopefully we'll be going to Chena Hot Springs at the end of this month. It's going to be a very long trip. Its in the interior of AK. I want to see if we can stop at a couple of haunted locations otw there. So many miles of dark and lonely highway, with a few small towns in between. The northern lights are always beautiful up there.
I call shenanigans. The video of Cairo Illinois had the audacity to show a picture of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania....600 miles away
I would not be surprised that Mr. Ballen did a video on one of these towns. His videos are very good but make it hard to sleep sometimes. Mr. Ballen has many freaky stories!!! LOL
I have family from Brodhead, WI and use to spend a lot of time there in youth. The park where the children were killed is eerie, even during the day. there are several places around that town that seem off and wouldn't go to by myself when I was younger.
Been To Antelope Oregon for elk season,seemed normal to me and that was in the early 80s
Nice shout out to Mr Ballen. I can only listen early in the day. 😱
I work on a alkaline lake an hour south of Lubbock, Texas where I live. It is called Cedar Lake and used to be a place the Comanche would camp. There are also 2 native burial grounds on the land. The salt lake is about 3 square miles and us supposedly the birth place of Quanah Parker, one of the last Comanche Chiefs. But there used to be a small town called White City on the lake that was just abandoned in the early 1900's. So I work as maintenance/security, fixing the salt pumps when they go down. But mostly my job is to drive around with my coworker (just us two in the middle of nowhere) from midnight to 9 in the morning. When it rains hard, which is rare here, remnants of the old town wash up. But the creepiest part is the ghosts. We here native chanting and drums almost every night. We have heard old musket shots, there was a small skirmish in 1877 with cavalry and the natives. One night I was by myself and a dark figure that looked like an old cowboy or cavalryman was 10 feet from my truck, I took a picture and he wasn't in the picture but still in front of me. Once I got out of my truck to approach him he disappeared. And then my very first night on the job we were in the middle of the lake on the salt flat and on the shore we saw a torch light moving slowly. We drove the truck over towards the light and as we got closer we saw a silhouette of a short man. When we were about 20 yards from him the light just went out. We still walked over to check, in the soft dirt we didn't see any signs of footprints or a torch being put out. As a history buff this excites me, so I'm hoping for even crazier stuff in the future.
Back in the late 80's me and my girlfriend used to drive the country roads looking for old towns and cemeterys and one time we came across a town that looked like a real town, houses stores cars street lights and stop lights worked but it wasn't real it was like a movie set the buildings were just a shell nothing inside. We found the cemetery and a tomb had a door and stair case that went very far underground, we tried to comeback to the town the next weekend and we never found it again, and we mapped everywhere we went but never found it.
Always makes me chuckle a bit when these lists come out and Skidmore and Villisca are both on them (they are about an hour drive apart), and if you want creepy bonus points about 2 hours Southwest of Skidmore is Stull, KS which is probably the creepiest IMO but never seems to make these lists.
