PA is full of little secrets about secluded back waters. I also have one. Its a lost town called Bly Town in McKean County, PA near Turtlepoint. It was the first settlement town of various immigrant folk who moved south from NY state and beyond after the completion of the Erie canal. Working from North to South they settleed "Bly Town" as a "base camp". From there they settled the surrounding areas. Bly Town has long since been reclaimed by the forest but its still out there somewhere.
The people in yellow dog probably didn't call it that. The people that lived there made an agreement with the mine not to join a union. That agreement was called a yellow dog contract. Those agreements or contracts became illegal in the early 1930s.
By strange coincidence, this morning I walked part of the schuylkill river trail and parked at the fricks lock trailhead. Years ago was able to tour the abandoned town.
I'd like to contact the creators of this video about one of the images. I don't want to embarrass you by just leaving the entire comment here. Can you just respond to me with your contact info? Thank you, My Boo and I enjoyed the various clips and were glad there are 2 towns closer to NJ for us to go check out.
Even though the word jerk water is a term used to describe a poor backward town .I could have sworn I saw a town by this name on an old map of Pennsylvania . Some were between Dubois and Erie Pennsylvania . Could tell if I'm right or just imagine it .
@travelawaitsyou yinz might want to actually go to some of these places, because a lot of them aren't ghost towns! Some people might find it a bit offensive declaring their town a ghost town. Just saying!!! I live in Harrison City, Pa. Is my town a ghost town because they quit mining there? SMH

Monessen is pronounced Mo-Nessen. It is named after Essen, Germany (a big steel making town) and the Monangahela River - Essen on the Mon River!
thanks for the correction.

Dude, gotta love AI voice over. Sux huh.
This may be AI. Bots don't know how to pronounce everything right. I don't like AI Narration, so I avoid these types of channels.
