Graffiti Highway got bulldozed during Covid when a bunch of dumb New York kids decided to break quarantine and come party on it. Still bitter about that, it was a super cool place to explore. My family was originally from the coal mining regions of PA and my dad would always make a stop in Centralia on our way up to Knoebels when I was a kid. It's not known to be haunted though, spooky inspiration for the the Silent Hill games, yes, but not haunted. Was there plenty of times night and day and nothing remotely weird happened. Might just be the general odd atmosphere that makes the mind play tricks on itself.
@@lizn4303 or the fact that it's been abandoned without any warning and had it happen due to a tragedy that could've been prevented if people had thought about the possible dangers of trying a burn a landfill over a state that has an abundance of coal
100% - So creepy when it still stood in NE Philly. And people were still living there in an abandoned neighborhood former alsyum. Complete with morgue and tunnels. Anyone else explore in the dark of night. One of the most unsettling places to be. So quiet. And you could feel the eyes on you as you walked down the main shuttered road.
BYBERRY is completely gone now, an over 55 community was built where Byberry once stood. I've been inside Byberry late night yrs ago. Just a scary place in general the tunnels were nuts.
During the Early 80’s we would explore Byberry day and night, you could feel the anguish of the tortured souls , we would gain entry off of Route 1 and Burling Ave, long since sealed off by the City, it’s still there, but no access.During the 1600’s, it was a Dutch farm called “Birberry farms”, it’s now now a sprawling industrial park, as you might be aware of. There is still a cemetery back there somewhere where they buried the unclaimed dead bodies(duh?) and you can find it somehow from Benjamin Rush State Park, I have never seen it but I plan on finding it whenever our lousy weather breaks in April, just rain,rain, and below average temps. Perhaps you can find it before I do, yep, the tunnels were something else,min have a few pics when me and my Brother there in October, 1982,:just a few months before I entered the military.
It was built on solid rock ...a blessed place,l live about ten minutes away . My relatives lived there and also in Aristes a neighboring town .l was told that two young children drowned in Centralia in a stripping pit before the mine fires 🔥@@davidpancerev9658
I agree, man, that place is a trip. I used to go at night to explore with friends 20 some years ago. Super creepy, but maybe not mentioned since it's super illegal to go explore there? At least it was back in the day, we had to park crazy far away, then hike up through the woods in pitch black hiding from the police/security that would patrol. I'm not sure if you can easily get in now that they've turned it into a haunted attraction.
The Black Cross near Butler Pa is another place that’s very scary.The place is totally haunted .Theres a lot of paranormal activity there .We would ride out there at sunset and see who could stay the longest! Of course..I never won!
HELLO! Pennhurst, a former animal testing lab, ALL of Gettysburg, Penn State, Rehmeyer's Hollow, I could go on and on with even creepier places. At least you mentioned Byberry and Eastern Pen
Agree with all of Gettysburg, I live a few minutes outside of Gettysburg. There have been many places I have been to in Gettysburg and although I have not seen anything, I can feel it and it can be a very uneasy and uncomfortable feeling. You know someone is watching you. The history there is so violent, gruesome, and sad.
my dad worked at a warehouse in Chicago that capone owned during the 70's, in the back was a silo where he found an underground tunnel. on break he and a couple guys he worked with would explore it but never found the end it was so long. One weekend they broke in and followed it for about an hour and it was collapsed, they turned and got the hell out of there and never went back. I wonder to this day if it was loaded with guns, money, and booze just beyond that point.
Byberrys been gone for years. Its 55/older community and a new factory is being built. The only part of byberry still there is the rehab/recovery across the street from main building.
Pennsylvania has more hauntings than most other states. I grew up here and have experienced many. Centralia is a ghost town, but it is more dangerous than scary. It's blocked off now. My family is from up there and my grandfathers, father and uncles worked in those mines in the 40s nd 50s. Devil's Den is truly spooky as is all of Gettysburg. I have a blade of rock from there, inadvertently taken and to be returned as a ghost came with it. I was in the old Byberry and I had a great uncle who died there after WWI (there were two facilities). I had a very frightening experience there on my 22nd birthday -- later learning to my surprise that my uncle was 22 when he died there. All those mentality ill people not claimed by their families when they closed it are still among the homeless in the streets of Philadelphia.
The most haunted place in PA is Buck Hill Falls. There was once a massive 400 room hotel with a swimming pool and other amenities. During it's construction, Native Americans protested it's construction, claiming the land itself was evil. Ancient tribes stayed away from this area. Built in 1901, it soon became a hot bed of paranormal activity, such as doors slamming on their own, chairs moving, strange noises, and reported ghost sightings. Many murders and suicides occured in this hotel, especially in room 354, where psychics claim there is a massive convergence of Ley lines. The exact number of deaths and suicides is unknown (most likely because the owner didn't want any bad press). The owners wife, who lived in the hotel, went insane and was committed. The most eerie tale is of a woman killed with an ax by the preist who had officiated her marriage one day prior. He then apparently left the hotel and shot himself inside of his car. I used to vacation not far from Buck Hill and I became deathly afraid anytime I looked at the hotel from a distance. I'd been to the waterfalls themselves and it's absolutely stunning. People had told me about visitors being killed by falling rocks and inexplicably falling in to and under the falls
Just something I read not too long ago. Who knows if it's true though............Legend has it that local residents once believed that crevices between the boulders there were home to an enormous snake. The snake was supposedly nicknamed “The Devil,” resulting in the entire area being dubbed “Devil's Den.” Despite the eccentricities of local legend, the true origin of the name is uncertain
PA was coal mining territory. My mom warned me all the time how a old shaft could swallow you whole. Nobody could hear you if you survived. Literally, across the street, there were filled in old mines that trees grew on. I'm not surprised at the appearance of sinkholes.
It’s Cossart Rd. or Devils Rd. All kinds of spooky things. Dead baby trees, DuPont Cult Mansion, pickup trucks appear out of nowhere. Trees are all blown one way. All urban legends. The only true things are the Village was filmed on one of the farms & the Johnson Bros. gang murdered & buried some guys back along the woods trail.
We used to call the old abandoned Byberry hospital Byberry Mansion. My friends and I explored all the old buildings and tunnels underneath that would connect them. Shit was super creepy, and there were almost always other people in there with you looking around. My friend still has the old vhs tapes lol
@@superstretch215 Haha they used to scare people bc it was during the "Satanic panic". They were really just Catholic kids that liked horror movies and Slayer
Yeah I have my own story, about an empty house, I had shown as a realtor, sitting deep in the woods out near Fort Indiantown Gap. Still unnerves me to think about that afternoon.
I lived in brownsville pa for a few years in my teens.. that place made me go from a paranormal skeptic, to a 100% firm believer. Its so obvious there that it feels like a ghost's town, and youre the one intruding.. even when i was a little girl and my mom had first moved there, i wondered if real life vampires lived there. In her house that i would visit every summer, it felt like people would watch me. I would hear footsteps going up and down the 3 story building's stairs at night... but it wasnt until i moved in with her as a teenager where i experienced undeniable proof that weird scary ass shit does exist and its not far away from home 😭😭
There isnt anything creepy about Centralia. I live three miles from there. The graffiti highway was covered over during covid. There are still a handful of houses there, a municipal building, a church and a couple cemeteries.
@@nyccollin Nope. You can clearly see them from the road, drive by them. If coming from Mt Carmel, right before the 4 way stop sign (the junction of 61 and 42) off to the right there is a road with a house and a mobile home. If you're coming from Ashland up to the 4 way stop you can take a right and there's another house that you can't miss.
Love the video...I grew up south or Reading in Berks County, and PA has some really haunted places. Some of the scariest though, are the smaller local ones and there's some terrifying sites out in the "sticks" or "boonies" of PA....a great state for ghost hunting.
The weirdest part is all of these PA locations are in the eastern part of the state. Hexenkopf used to be on private property in the woods so trespassers beware. I read that the owners donated the land where the rock is to Northampton County. Not sure about access though. I’d research before making a trip.
Everytime I drive past I get chills. It's on 114 and used to have creepy satanic rituals of rich people and stuff. My family has deep roots in Central PA.
There's nothing spooky about Centralia. Garbage was burned on top of an anthracite coal vein. The coal was lit and continues to burn emmiting heat and hazardous fumes which forced the DEP to condemn the town. The people who lived there were bought out by the government and they relocated, thats it. But 10 miles away from Centralia is Gordon Mountain which actually has a spooky past. In 1920 something a woman was found murdered in the middle of woods. The woman was never identified and her murder remains unsolved. Her head was kept in a jar, stored at a local hospital in case someone can identify her. Her head is still being held as evidence locked away in state police headquarters. There has been many reports throughout the years of people seeing the ghost of a headless woman wandering or stopping vehicles on the mountain's lone road.
We spent the night there years ago ( Logan Inn New Hope). There was a certain room # that was popular and people would try to stay in it can’t remember the #, but they say a woman’s spirit has been seen. I stayed there but nothing happened to me. Well, other than my husband opening up our suitcase and arranging all its contents out on the bed while we were at dinner. We walk in and he’s all “oh my God, who did this”?!?! He had me going for a bit. It was fun though .
Great video! There were a few things about Byberry that were incorrect though, I think you may have mixed up some info from Pennhurst. Byberry was fully torn down in 2006, nothing remains of that except an empty field, whereas Pennhurst still exists and you can take tours of it. Also it was Pennhurst that closed in 1987 due to what was going on, there was a documentary on it that's worth a watch. Byberry had closed in 1990.
I lived in Kensington for 4 years. I was in my late 60s. I think I was the only person in the neighborhood who didn't drink or do drugs. You're not kidding about walking zombies. In 2022, I was able to escape and moved to East Falls. 😊
@@twistedfaith11the lady In white walking along the iron fence of the cemetery in sharpsville it is said thY she is goast of the wife of the steel mill owner piece after killing her self by walking behind a umbrella up the railroad tracks into a on coming train
@@RevAnon1776 Wow, it's definitely a spot where the energy is just different or something. My most blatant experience there was when 4 of us were sitting in a car on the side of the road and the only way to describe it was that a demon screamed right into the window, in our faces, but you couldn't see it.
I had a crazy experience over by South mountain. It scared me an my girl so bad i didn't go camping for almost 10 years. I still don't have a clue what it was to this day. It made me feel fear like ive never felt. Im a veteran that was also a boyscout. So im very experienced in the woods. This was a area i had camped as a scout. I wonder if anyone else has had experiences at south mountain.
I've driven through many parts of Pennsylvania, no doubt a beautiful state with nice people but some really dark creepy stretches of highway. This was also 30 years ago near the transylvania area
In 2023, based on a 2021 census, there were still 4 residents in Centralia, PA. I only live approx 3 hrs from there. You left out that the movie Silent Hills setting was based on Centralia. Just interesting knowledge.
I think that Philadelphia should be ashamed of itself for being a drug-infested state plus I think that the guy did not mention pennhurst very creepy place
Lived in PA my whole life, been to a lot of places even on this list that will never compare to Rehmeyer's Hollow AKA Hex Hollow and its history. Sadly the new owners have closed the house for tours and the infamous witches well filled with cement forever but for good reasons. I myself have gotten the chance to experience some of the stories I grew up hearing, its the one place I refuse to go through at night (I live like 10min away). PS for some reason almost everyone breaks down in the same spot even during the day going down a certain road with a little rusted bridge which is way before the trailer park I believe.
West Virginis has lots of creepy places! The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, Pt. Pleasant home of tge Mothman and the 1967 Silver Bridge collapse! GHOST Hunters did a video about both the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum and Mothman! The WV State Prison in Moundsville, WV is also creepy!
I laid down for about 15 mins where the picture shows a guy was shot dead and didn’t see or feel anything weird. The only thing weird were the stupid blue haired people walking around saying spirits were taking to them…
I think you got Byberry and Pennhurt mixed up…. I grew up and still live in the area - there are no buildings left of Byberry , except one that’s used as a drug rehab and the old gate and fence. everything else was torn down back in 2006 and there’s a small 65+ built on some of the land .
Where in the blue hell is Pennhurst? It should be number 1 on a list like this. It's still one of the most haunted places in America. I used to spend weekends there in the tunnels. The stories I could tell of all the things I've seen and heard
Devil's Den is very creepy. I caught many EVP's and full body apparitions there. I've been to Eastern State numerous times and have heard voices with the naked ear, caught orbs and mists. Pennhurst should be on this list. We heard growls in the death tunnel and caught faces in windows and temp drops. Super creepy.
They covered up the graffiti road, there are barely any buildings besides the abandoned police station and there’s no fog or “buildings” for shadows to hide around lol it’s literally nothing but cemeteries there
So I live down the street from where the sight of byberry mental institution was... But that main building has not been there for about 10 to 15 years now.... But when they were there and the tunnels underneath were still able to be accessed it was definitely creepy... You also forgot another key fact about that is that when they close down they were still patients in there and they literally just walked out the front door because there was nobody there to stop them from leaving.
ok, so I live close to Centralia, and there is nothing scary about it, no shadow figures nothing of the sort. It's just a sad situation that happened there so i don't know where you got your info from but....
Kinda surprised that Constitution Drive in Allentown isn’t on this list. Lots of stories of a man & his dog killed on the train tracks that wanders the woods, cannibalistic albinos, and the woman in white along the Lehigh River. Been there many times and lots of unexplained things….lots of movement in the woods, shapes in the shadows, a feeling of foreboding. Plus a crossroad which is never used as a positive thing. It’s just as creepy during daytime.
I was surprised Hexenkoph Rock (not Hexencop) was listed as being on South Mountain which borders Cumberland County with North Mountain. Now perhaps there is an extension of South Mtn or a second South Man in Northampton County where Hexenkoph is located. But this story caught my attention because there is a huge and little known similar rock pile on North Mtn. that seems completely out of place. By the way, South Mtn. in Cumberland Cnty has its own mysteries. It's the site of Three Angels in the Woods, Dead Woman Road, a secret WWII prisoner of war camp, the site of CCC boys killed when lightning hit their tent, the murder of a Shippensburg U. student, and the ghost of Sand Beach. And to mention Devils Den, it was named well before the Civil War and site of numerous strange occurrences are more likely to happen not in the Den, but behind it at the Triangular Field. I've personally seen three broadcast TV cameras breakdown at the exact same spot.
I went to Centralia in 2012 with my earth science class in college. I grew up in Snyder County pa so I'd always heard about it. I thought it was cool because I heard that the movie the road with Viggo Mortensen was filmed there and it's fairly post-apocalyptic, but none more so than driving through areas of northeast PA or the coal region in general. The funniest thing about our visit to Centralia was at one point three coach buses full of Asian tourists showed up. There had to have been at least 100 people there walking around. I thought to myself wow this place has a crazy history but honestly it looks very similar to many other places in Pennsylvania that have been abandoned
Seeing anything human made, being abandoned like that, does give things a creepy vibe. It's all subjective though. What's creepy to him may not be creepy to you. It may be horrifying to others.
You really hyped up that centrallia bit, place was just a quad track and a graffiti highway for the longest time, there hasn't been structures there in quite some time, nor do I remember ghost stories about it at all growing up, just that it was an abandoned town, but it's actually just an abandoned highway
Bro this video is 4 months old but where did you get your info from?? What remnants of byberry?? It was demolished in 2006 2007. Same for Centralia. Only buildings left is church, two houses and a fire station and they're all inhabited.
That highway, in Centralia, is long gone, they covered it up. Never felt anything scary up there.
Graffiti Highway got bulldozed during Covid when a bunch of dumb New York kids decided to break quarantine and come party on it. Still bitter about that, it was a super cool place to explore.

That sucks graffiti highway was bulldozed! Thanks kids for ruining that! I’ve always wanted to see it.
Byberry State Hospital was notorious when I was growing up in Philly. Knowing of the people suffering there haunted me and always will.

I would hear footsteps going up and down the 3 story building's stairs at night... but it wasnt until i moved in with her as a teenager where i experienced undeniable proof that weird scary ass shit does exist and its not far away from home 😭😭
There isnt anything creepy about Centralia. I live three miles from there. The graffiti highway was covered over during covid. There are still a handful of houses there, a municipal building, a church and a couple cemeteries.
So we can no longer put our names there? My son got to it
@@cathy3613 Nope gone. Covered up and planted over.
I didn’t see any houses when I was there a few months ago.. do you have to walk in to see them?
@@nyccollin Nope. You can clearly see them from the road, drive by them. If coming from Mt Carmel, right before the 4 way stop sign (the junction of 61 and 42) off to the right there is a road with a house and a mobile home. If you're coming from Ashland up to the 4 way stop you can take a right and there's another house that you can't miss.
@@ncarlson80 Thank you! I wasn’t in the area long. I saw a church, and some signs offering a reward for a lost drone.
PA all day ! Go Birds
Love the video...I grew up south or Reading in Berks County, and PA has some really haunted places. Some of the scariest though, are the smaller local ones and there's some terrifying sites out in the "sticks" or "boonies" of PA....a great state for ghost hunting.
Hexenkopf Rock is not Berks County. Northampton County I believe.
I just looked it up. I’m in Solebury. Williams Twp.
Yes!! I use to live near there.
Yes it's in Williams township
The weirdest part is all of these PA locations are in the eastern part of the state. Hexenkopf used to be on private property in the woods so trespassers beware. I read that the owners donated the land where the rock is to Northampton County. Not sure about access though. I’d research before making a trip.
Halls Tower in Mechanicsburg needs to be on here
Everytime I drive past I get chills. It's on 114 and used to have creepy satanic rituals of rich people and stuff. My family has deep roots in Central PA.
I came across this channel today!!😊 Very interesting.
Thanks for watching!
There's nothing spooky about Centralia. Garbage was burned on top of an anthracite coal vein. The coal was lit and continues to burn emmiting heat and hazardous fumes which forced the DEP to condemn the town. The people who lived there were bought out by the government and they relocated, thats it. But 10 miles away from Centralia is Gordon Mountain which actually has a spooky past. In 1920 something a woman was found murdered in the middle of woods. The woman was never identified and her murder remains unsolved. Her head was kept in a jar, stored at a local hospital in case someone can identify her. Her head is still being held as evidence locked away in state police headquarters. There has been many reports throughout the years of people seeing the ghost of a headless woman wandering or stopping vehicles on the mountain's lone road.
Damn, that’s pretty creepy! 😱 Thanks for sharing, and thanks for watching.
Pennhurst should probably be #1
And, what about the Logan Inn in New Hope?
We spent the night there years ago ( Logan Inn New Hope).
There was a certain room # that was popular and people would try to stay in it can’t remember the #, but they say a woman’s spirit has been seen.
I stayed there but nothing happened to me. Well, other than my husband opening up our suitcase and arranging all its contents out on the bed while we were at dinner. We walk in and he’s all “oh my God, who did this”?!?! He had me going for a bit. It was fun though .
Great video! There were a few things about Byberry that were incorrect though, I think you may have mixed up some info from Pennhurst. Byberry was fully torn down in 2006, nothing remains of that except an empty field, whereas Pennhurst still exists and you can take tours of it. Also it was Pennhurst that closed in 1987 due to what was going on, there was a documentary on it that's worth a watch. Byberry had closed in 1990.
Thanks for the info!
Good question
How bout Jim Thorpe, Pa.?
Devils den at 2 am is something for sure.
You forgot the infamous.. Kensington avenue..the walking zombies..lol😂
I lived in Kensington for 4 years. I was in my late 60s. I think I was the only person in the neighborhood who didn't drink or do drugs. You're not kidding about walking zombies. In 2022, I was able to escape and moved to East Falls. 😊
Agreed
Damn you beat me to it! Came here to comment this. Oh, well, commented about it anyway.
I just found ur channel, and i really enjoyed ur content. You have a familiar voice?!
Looking forward to more videos! Maybe some Canadian locations
I think it's a computer generated voice.
Thank you so much! I will definitely explore some Canadian locations soon.
@@twistedfaith11the lady In white walking along the iron fence of the cemetery in sharpsville it is said thY she is goast of the wife of the steel mill owner piece after killing her self by walking behind a umbrella up the railroad tracks into a on coming train

#1 - Kensington.
Van Sant Bridge near New Hope is definitely a paranormal hotspot. I say this from experience.
I've heard of it but I never experienced any of it
@@WashinRob I've had varying degrees of experiences there, over the years. Sometimes nothing would happen.
I’ve had tons of experiences there as well. Even had my motorcycle completely lose power for no explainable reason.
@@RevAnon1776 Wow, it's definitely a spot where the energy is just different or something. My most blatant experience there was when 4 of us were sitting in a car on the side of the road and the only way to describe it was that a demon screamed right into the window, in our faces, but you couldn't see it.
As teenagers, we would go into Byberry at night and roam the ruins and drink quarts of Miller High Life. Those were the days.
I had a crazy experience over by South mountain.
It scared me an my girl so bad i didn't go camping for almost 10 years.
I still don't have a clue what it was to this day. It made me feel fear like ive never felt.
Im a veteran that was also a boyscout. So im very experienced in the woods.
This was a area i had camped as a scout.
I wonder if anyone else has had experiences at south mountain.
I've driven through many parts of Pennsylvania, no doubt a beautiful state with nice people but some really dark creepy stretches of highway. This was also 30 years ago near the transylvania area
In 2023, based on a 2021 census, there were still 4 residents in Centralia, PA. I only live approx 3 hrs from there. You left out that the movie Silent Hills setting was based on Centralia. Just interesting knowledge.
WoW! What happened in or around 1907 that would "cause" such a mass need to "rehabilitate" so many people. 🤔
I used to volunteer at Fort Mifflin, it is one of the haunted places in the Philadelphia area.
100%
I think that Philadelphia should be ashamed of itself for being a drug-infested state plus I think that the guy did not mention pennhurst very creepy place
Philadelphia is a city in the state of Pennsylvania. Philadelphia is not a state.
Y'all totally forgot Schumacher tavern on hawk mountain
no western PA why am not surprised
They all break my heart, but the yellow dog terrified of humans destroys me. 😢😢🙏🙏😢
Loved the video. Very informative. Would love to see one done about creepy places in Vermont. Keep up the good work.
Noted. Thanks for watching!
I’m surprised the Wells house in Wilkes barre isn’t on this list! It’s literally PAs version of the Amityville Horror
Gettysburg Battlefield and town! Definitely very haunted!
Lived in PA my whole life, been to a lot of places even on this list that will never compare to Rehmeyer's Hollow AKA Hex Hollow and its history. Sadly the new owners have closed the house for tours and the infamous witches well filled with cement forever but for good reasons. I myself have gotten the chance to experience some of the stories I grew up hearing, its the one place I refuse to go through at night (I live like 10min away). PS for some reason almost everyone breaks down in the same spot even during the day going down a certain road with a little rusted bridge which is way before the trailer park I believe.
West Virginis has lots of creepy places! The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, Pt. Pleasant home of tge Mothman and the 1967 Silver Bridge collapse! GHOST Hunters did a video about both the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum and Mothman! The WV State Prison in Moundsville, WV is also creepy!
Virginia
Got it! Thanks for watching.
I laid down for about 15 mins where the picture shows a guy was shot dead and didn’t see or feel anything weird. The only thing weird were the stupid blue haired people walking around saying spirits were taking to them…
Hawk mountain creeps me out
I think you got Byberry and Pennhurt mixed up…. I grew up and still live in the area - there are no buildings left of Byberry , except one that’s used as a drug rehab and the old gate and fence. everything else was torn down back in 2006 and there’s a small 65+ built on some of the land .
Where in the blue hell is Pennhurst? It should be number 1 on a list like this. It's still one of the most haunted places in America. I used to spend weekends there in the tunnels. The stories I could tell of all the things I've seen and heard
Before I watch this, I already know the abandoned turnpike tunnel and Centralia will be on this list. Let's see if I am right.
Half right
Yeah Graffiti highway is gone.
They buried it a little while back.
Pennsylvania is my birth state. Gettysburg is one of the best places to visit. So much history there.
evil history
Being homeless, I stayed in Jefferson Court Hotel, and the old Post Office. Heard shit and saw shit I can't explain it. New Castle, PA
By far Kensington ave from Allegheny to Lehigh Ave in Philadelphia PA takes the cake and its not even close! 🤷🏿♂️
Devil's Den is very creepy. I caught many EVP's and full body apparitions there. I've been to Eastern State numerous times and have heard voices with the naked ear, caught orbs and mists. Pennhurst should be on this list. We heard growls in the death tunnel and caught faces in windows and temp drops. Super creepy.
That’s wild! Your experiences sound intense, next-level creepy. Thanks for sharing, and thanks for watching!
It's weird but there are some places in Pa where you hear 🙉 or see 🙈 no wildlife.
Now that's creepy 😳 to me.
Wow, that is creepy. Thanks for watching.
Smart animals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Centralia’s stories are more exciting than the actual place and I’ve been there and trespassed and hiked some of the woods
They covered up the graffiti road, there are barely any buildings besides the abandoned police station and there’s no fog or “buildings” for shadows to hide around lol it’s literally nothing but cemeteries there
Very cool ty for info.
So I live down the street from where the sight of byberry mental institution was... But that main building has not been there for about 10 to 15 years now.... But when they were there and the tunnels underneath were still able to be accessed it was definitely creepy... You also forgot another key fact about that is that when they close down they were still patients in there and they literally just walked out the front door because there was nobody there to stop them from leaving.
ok, so I live close to Centralia, and there is nothing scary about it, no shadow figures nothing of the sort. It's just a sad situation that happened there so i don't know where you got your info from but....
Yea, I agree. I've been there its not creepy at all. Just a ghost town
Eastern State definitely on this list
Kinda surprised that Constitution Drive in Allentown isn’t on this list. Lots of stories of a man & his dog killed on the train tracks that wanders the woods, cannibalistic albinos, and the woman in white along the Lehigh River. Been there many times and lots of unexplained things….lots of movement in the woods, shapes in the shadows, a feeling of foreboding. Plus a crossroad which is never used as a positive thing. It’s just as creepy during daytime.
Very insightful, Great video 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
These are great points but you could cover the entire state this WHOLE place is haunted as hell
I’m starting to realize that… lol. Thanks for watching!
You missed rehmeyers hollow... It has a nice story to go with it and it is extremely haunted....
Noted. I will definitely revisit Pennsylvania in the near future. Thanks for watching!
Keep them coming
Library mental institution was torn down about 10 years ago I live in levittown Pennsylvania I think there's townhouses built there now
Monroeville Mall, Pittsburgh😂, Kensington in Philly.
Liverpool PA. It never changes
I was surprised Hexenkoph Rock (not Hexencop) was listed as being on South Mountain which borders Cumberland County with North Mountain. Now perhaps there is an extension of South Mtn or a second South Man in Northampton County where Hexenkoph is located. But this story caught my attention because there is a huge and little known similar rock pile on North Mtn. that seems completely out of place. By the way, South Mtn. in Cumberland Cnty has its own mysteries. It's the site of Three Angels in the Woods, Dead Woman Road, a secret WWII prisoner of war camp, the site of CCC boys killed when lightning hit their tent, the murder of a Shippensburg U. student, and the ghost of Sand Beach. And to mention Devils Den, it was named well before the Civil War and site of numerous strange occurrences are more likely to happen not in the Den, but behind it at the Triangular Field. I've personally seen three broadcast TV cameras breakdown at the exact same spot.
I went to Centralia in 2012 with my earth science class in college. I grew up in Snyder County pa so I'd always heard about it. I thought it was cool because I heard that the movie the road with Viggo Mortensen was filmed there and it's fairly post-apocalyptic, but none more so than driving through areas of northeast PA or the coal region in general. The funniest thing about our visit to Centralia was at one point three coach buses full of Asian tourists showed up. There had to have been at least 100 people there walking around. I thought to myself wow this place has a crazy history but honestly it looks very similar to many other places in Pennsylvania that have been abandoned
Centralia ? Small blue collar town, underground fire , people left town . That's it . Where's the creepy ? C'mon man .
Seeing anything human made, being abandoned like that, does give things a creepy vibe. It's all subjective though. What's creepy to him may not be creepy to you. It may be horrifying to others.
You really hyped up that centrallia bit, place was just a quad track and a graffiti highway for the longest time, there hasn't been structures there in quite some time, nor do I remember ghost stories about it at all growing up, just that it was an abandoned town, but it's actually just an abandoned highway
Bro this video is 4 months old but where did you get your info from?? What remnants of byberry?? It was demolished in 2006 2007. Same for Centralia. Only buildings left is church, two houses and a fire station and they're all inhabited.
Tht rock formation was the Bases for the movie The Blair Witch Project.
I honestly think the entire state of Pennsylvania is creepy it's a huge weird state
You forgot Hawk Mountain. And yes, Devil’s Den is haunted…severely haunted.
I grew up in upper Bucks co and did not know of some of these places! Thanks for the info!
Thanks for watching!
