There is even more history about Stoney Creek that is also interesting. A man (Joseph Raber) was murdered in Stoney Creek and there were 6 people that conspired in the murder. (Blue Eyed Six) back in the late 1800's that was highly publicized and even made worldwide news. Just a lot of history in that small area with ghost towns and such. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for this video of Cold Springs, PA. My 7x’s Great Grandfather Rev. Thomas Dungan lived there and was pastor of Cold Springs Baptist Church. I guess there never was a church building, but that the services were held in the Dungan’s log cabin there in Cold Springs. Rev. Thomas Dungan went to Cold Springs in 1684. The church dissolved in 1702, and many of the members joined the Piscataway Baptist Church, which gave birth to the Pennepack Baptist Church. I hope someday to come to Cold Springs possibly with some of my grandchildren. I live in Iowa and am almost 70 ( boy that sounds ancient) so I may never be able to come , but through your viedo you have made it possible for me to time travel with you , there today ! I can’t thank you enough ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Just learned today Thomas is my 9th great father. Every time I look at genealogy I find unkown relatives who are pastors.I am a retired Baptist pastor and teacher.
I wish I could talk to you about a NA grave I know of so you could do a show on it. It sits near the top of a small mountain in PA, easily accessible and a beautiful spot. This lady was married to a trader who buried her with honor, and entombed her in stone. Beautiful sandstone tombstone looks like it was cut last week. Her husband fought in the American Revolution and lost an eye to that war. If you did do a story on them, you could never give away where it is, not even which county. I used to do cemetery work and we did a radio interview one time and that night someone went out to the graveyard we were working in and destroyed the stones. I'm not making that mistake again, especially since this lady is my ancestor.
You do a really nice job with these vids. Nice, calm demeanor that folks can relate to. Love the old history & static shots that give the viewer time to reflect on the past. I like your idea of adding the historical pictures to your shots so we could see what things looked like back then alongside you shots. Would be cool if you added those historical booklet shots as an update in the future. Thanks my friend. 👍🏻
My guess at 26:27 is possibly an ice intake? A theatre I work in that was built in the early 1900s has a similar sloping area which we assumed was for loading in wardrobe cases and such, but further investigation revealed that large blocks of ice would be delivered and slid down the ramp to be offloaded to a room where a fan would blow over the ice, forcing to cool air into ductwork to take it into the main room. Just a guess! Love the work and time you put into your videos! Thank you!
recently discovered you...I have grown up on PA history what with my mother being from Potter County and my daughter currently living and working in Lancaster County.
Hello this is the kind of history I love and I would love to venture out the way u" do explore.Please try to show Pictures of the town and how it looked before and now.what ever u " can come up with.ok got go now but still with u"on ur" trail.Mrs P. Ur"senior watcher.
That was fantastic, what a lot of history there. Loved some of the stonework there. That old dam was lovely what a beaut creek. Thanks so much for taking me along. Stay safe
Very interesting video. The magnesium spring was quite a find! It appears not to have been altered from the original stone work. One reason the larger spring may have grating and locks on the top of it is because of possible liability claims against the state. If someone was injured an/or killed exploring the site.
Love watching your videos! The ruins are my favorite. I've only been back in PA/NJ area for a few years and am not able to hike anymore so this is the next best thing. Thanks and be careful
I just love your videos where do you find these places..I mean how do you know they even exist? What ever the answers are I love love love it!! My husband's dad is from Parnassus PA is these areas you go to near there? I just subscribed to your channel and glad I did I will b e sharing also...have fun and be safe...peace
Lots of internet research. local libraries, and viewer suggestions. I haven't been out to western PA yet, but hopefully this summer I will get out that way. Thanks
This is cool.. have you ever done tours. Im homeschooling and found your video i was up there a couple years ago. I wanted to take my son. It was such a cool hike.. id love to take him up there with someone who knows the history
I have to say I love your videos on CZcams I am originally from Locust Valley Pennsylvania right outside of mahanoy City there's two places I would like to see you make videos on one is right outside of Shepton between Shepton and Oneida it's called Bova grave it's the spot where there was a big mine accident I think in the 40s and they didn't find them for about a week an old man Bova is still there some rumors are that the rest of the people ate him don't know for sure but it's out in the middle of nowhere and nice well-kept grave and the other place is right outside of buck Mountain there's a place there where an old hermit used to live in the woods his name was old John I remember taking food up to him in the 70s he just had a little Shack and he live there from the 30s and he was a nice old man and I do believe somebody killed him thinking he had money. I like watching your video is especially because I don't live in Pennsylvania anymore and I sure do miss it right now I live in Tennessee so I watch your videos and it brings me home thanks so much for what you're doing
You are extreamly interesting. I love the history of out east.I only been to New York about 4 times and that was about it. The reason I went out to New York that's the best place to get a seeing eye dog(service dog). Now you you that I am quit visually impaired. But I can make my computer screen bigger to see. You and JP are the best vedios that I have come across. By chance do you go into abandonded houses? You are so interesting and I am so greatful. That brick work will be there for centuries to come its so amazing. It would of be nice to be around when the buiding were there. Yes if people want to do metal detecting they should cover the holes, there is so much to watch for where your feet go, one can break your silly neck.If I was younger I would love metal detecting, but I am to old and can't get down on the ground, but I think it would be exciting and much fun.
That would be a nice addition to your videos, showing what these bldgs.looked like when showing foundations of. Either way like your videos, keep them coming !
Who owns the property in a ghost town? Star games lands. Got it. Do all the old roads show up on GPS maps? Why does everyone leave? I understand Centralia but what happened here?
Diseases ,towns being built, the railroad shut down that use to run thru there Rauch gap is logging/minning village and was also inhabited by indians way before that
Well for starters, this place is genuinely haunted. It is well known that you cannot stay in that area after dark. Two people have disappeared from there in separate incidents, and never been found..
I love your videos!~I also have the love of these places in my heart!Ever since I was a little girl I loved everything from that era? This place no doubt had a barn or barns? They needed to feed the people at the hotel and there was no refrigeration?
I have seen cars go down that side when that road was really bad as of nov 2019 that road us smooth also that trail only.goes to raush gap stony creek is opposite direction and u be very careful fishing out there in the summer time between the rattlers and coperheads
VERY INTERESTING, YOU SURE DO ALOT OF RESEARCE ON YOUR PROJECTS. YOU ARE THE GREATEST OM THE WORLD. IT JUST BLOSE ,MY MIND;YOU ARE A VERY SMART MAN. I COMMEND YOU HIGHLY IN ALL THE WORK YOU DO DO . I TOLD ALOT OF PEOPLE ABOUT YOU AND JP.KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
@@thewanderingwoodsman7227 LOL.. it was a shitter! read up on "shit detail" and where the phrase came from. The small rectangular holes are where the air inletted into the shitty part to carry the smell out the top and back. I grew up in that valley as a kid, back in the 70,s it was a real nice spot.. 80s as well, when the asshole drunks tore down the train station.. then the man got involved and started harassing everyone. We used that train station as a communal spot to warm up, sleep and eat during deer season. I know that whole area like the back of my hand. pro tip.. the strange lone tree outside the steps of the caretakers office at the hotel, that is a redwood.. the caretaker was from california and missed the redwoods.. so he had one shipped in and planted it. Surprising as it is.. it survived, in another 200 years its gonna dwarf everything on that mountain!
With most videographers, I would agree with you. The vast majority of them their purpose is to bring attention to themselves, and is quite annoying. However, respectfully, I don’t get that sense here. He comes across humble, doesn’t over exaggerate or over emphasis, and has the kind of low key persona that he can pull this off. In fact, I think it brings credibility to what he is saying. He is very much the exception in this regard though.

Amazing there are still as many ruins. Lots of history.
Reminds me of the Whistle Stop Cafe.

cool hollowed out tree on the left at 14:40
You are genuine/true! Thank You!
40:46 septic or sewer system. All the folks in the hotel had to crap somewhere and not contaminate the springs.

Who owns the property in a ghost town?
Star games lands. Got it.
Do all the old roads show up on GPS maps?
Why does everyone leave? I understand Centralia but what happened here?

Well for starters, this place is genuinely haunted. It is well known that you cannot stay in that area after dark. Two people have disappeared from there in separate incidents, and never been found..
I'm passing this info to friends who investigate "local" historical backgrounds, and paranormal investigations!
Cool findings Cliff 🙂👍
I love your videos!~I also have the love of these places in my heart!Ever since I was a little girl I loved everything from that era? This place no doubt had a barn or barns? They needed to feed the people at the hotel and there was no refrigeration?
This video was very interesting.... Thank you
How did the water get out of the spring into the water tank?
Looks like a good area for metal detecting.
yes and no. Lots of artifacts, but it's on state game lands, no metal detecting allowed
The Wandering Woodsman lots of square nails, some metal brackets and old ammo. Some fired and some not.
@@thewanderingwoodsman7227 I can promise there isn't much left to find.. aside from relics anyway... ;)
Could the small square hole be an outhouse pit?
so interesting
perry county has some really interesting places to explore
Great video thank you.
You should do some vids on favorite fishing spots.
I just might next spring
Imagine the work cutting all those stone back then
I have seen cars go down that side when that road was really bad as of nov 2019 that road us smooth also that trail only.goes to raush gap stony creek is opposite direction and u be very careful fishing out there in the summer time between the rattlers and coperheads
Ever go to Tioga county?
you would think some of the wood structure would still be visible

Do you know of a ghost town in northern Clinton or southern Potter county?
Where do you think in your experience the best place is to find info on the history of any given area?
I’m interested in an answer too
Still miss the old truck in these 😐
My aunt is a Moravian minister in Bethlehem PA
Great, thanks for sharing that.
A horse chestnut. The squirrels guard their nuts.
Nice
do a video on the Joness beer company once owned by Shirley Jones parents (the actress)
The concrete looks like it has slits on top for some kind of rifles or big Gunners
Perhaps, I'm not really sure what it was.
@@thewanderingwoodsman7227 LOL.. it was a shitter! read up on "shit detail" and where the phrase came from. The small rectangular holes are where the air inletted into the shitty part to carry the smell out the top and back.

Love yer get up
search St Anthony Wilderness
Windsor locks fish hatchery
Metal detect those places
Funny, you had been there two years prior to this video and at the time I watched it it was two years ago.. so this is four years old.
you missed the bowling alley remnants.
you don't really get the grade of that road from in your truck that fairly steep ,and the last time i was there alot worse than what you had to drive
The railroad is still there they buried it lebanon county historical society likes to cover a lot of things up about certain history
Oh shit, you know anything about that hidden history and where I can dig?
Why? What kind of conspiracy theory do you have in mind?
@bczimmerman obviously u don't know your history very well cause they just laid more stone so yeah and there is proof
pepsicola...lol
I like the effort, your ideas are great. Just take the camera off of yourself so much
