At this point, the fire in Centralia is literally impossible to put out...
There's a gas station 2.5 miles away 💀
All the Coal in those mountains.
📻🙂
@@jeffking4176 yeah, I think I read somewhere that the fire will burn for at least another 250 years because of the amount of coal there is.
The reason you have to wait 30 minutes in Whittier is because it is a 1 lane tunnel that is very long. The train also passes through there. So you have to wait awhile to go into and out of the town.
I was raised in Whittier. . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . California. . . . . . . . . . .
Isn't that where Richard Nixon was raised? Could it be ...? Are you the ghost of Nixon? Now that's creepy!
@@user-mg5mv2tn8q: Yep, that's where Nixon was raised. And yes, I went to the same high school (Whittier High) as Tricky Dick (Nixon, class of 1930, me, class of 1979). And weirder, to her dying day, my mom insisted that we were distant relatives by marriage. . .
I feel for you. By the way, I'm one year older than you, class of 1978, but I was in the Midwest.
The story of Skidmore and Ken McElroy is a super interesting (and tragic) one. Too much to summarize here, but it's worth a deep dive!
There is a movie about the so called “mothman” called “The Motheman Prophecies”….starring Richard Gere if you’re interested in reacting to it.
I have been to Whittier Alaska. Arrived by ship and left through the tunnel by train. The tunnel handles both trains and cars, but one one of those at a time, and only in one direction. Hence the wait.
Number one should have been Gary, Indiana. Legit a ghost town where children get kidnapped and disappeared constantly. It’s a place criminals from Chicago run to, it’s a hub for drug trafficking. It’s truly the scariest place I do not want to run out of gas in
There is a song called Gary, Indiana.
I won't even go into that town. My brother lived there for a bit and invited to come for a weekend. I told him absolutely not. I wouldn't call it creepy as much as I would call it extremely dangerous. That place was number 1 in murders for decades.
Whittier is a great visit, specifically for how close it is to the glaciers via one day cruises.
My dad worked alaska cruises for a while, and had great things to say of it's beauty.
8:33 yessssssir. I have a friend that went and visited Centralia last weekend. He said the population is down to 5 now. You can still go there, it's just not reccomended.
It is NOT that small lol me and 3 others stopped by there like a year ago. Still a functioning town, it's just really small and quiet
@@squeasel09bro what? Theres nothing there. It feels like you are driving through the woods, you can easily miss the houses while driving
I would absolutely visit every town on here!
I had to tell you, we moved west coast to east coast. Had to avoid some mountains, and realized we were pretty well lined up...Rosell...Point Pleasant..a couple others. Since we had to drive ANYAY we made it a "cryptid tour" of the south. we do NOT regret the fun e had on that trip. (nearly a week, mostly camping.) I recommend!
I live in Ripley, West Virginia, about 30 minutes from Point Pleasant. It’s an interesting town, not that dangerous. The Mothman hasn’t been spotted in decades and the riverfront is nice. The paranormal stuff is creepy though. 😂
They cant put the fire out in Centralia PA because the fire started in a coal mine that is so deep underground we can’t get to it safely. The soil underneath the town is made of coal which is currently on smoldering and on fire.
8:23 Centralia was the inspiration for the aesthetic of the first Silent Hill MOVIE- not the games!!!
My girl is from PA, so me, her, and her sister and her bf stopped by there one time. It's a nice quiet town, feels off, but it's small and ok
@@squeasel09 A lot of my family lives in PA and I’d 100% visit! I’m just massive SH fan so I feel the need to correct that part, haha!
There’s a good documentary on the Antelope cult called Wild Wild Country, and a couple on Warren Jeffs and the FLDS.
My 6th Great Grandma was Shawnee Indian! I love this.
Re: #8, Former DIL lived for 18 yrs in the Villisca ax murder house, she said they never heard or saw anything.... After the local museum bought it it SUDDENLY was EXTREMELY haunted w/ noises at night, the museum spent a lot of $$$ converting it back to that period to make $$$$. A relative of my husband said hs boys were highered to make noises when someone was staying the night, he had no reason to lie about it.
Villisca did & still does have a gas station, a restaurant, a dollar Dollar general store, a Caseys Gen Store, bars & other businesses, lol. The video of the buildings along the street aren't even of Villisca, that town actually isn't that nice anymore but this video really makes it sound bad!
8:36 The fire is in a large coal mine. Unlimited fuel. I think the government decided to let it burn out because it was more cost effective.
Also, probably a lot safer to just evacuate everybody than to try to put out what is effectively a giant steam engine.
The full story of Skidmore MO and Ken McElroy is worth watching. He had that whole town under his thumb.
There are also still sundown towns/counties that you'll also want to know about to avoid.
I used to live in a sundown town that has changed away from its past. People don't like to talk about it because it's not something most are proud of. I did have a couple instances though of racist people still around, one with my dad having to kick somebody out of where he volunteered and one of a coworker of mine who left soon after(not sure if related or not. I think I was too in shock to do much of anything but bite my tongue) who I think may have been an unironic white nationalist. My uncle, who is Black, visited once and mentioned that he was being watched while there.
I think the creepiest part though has to do with when I was working nights. This was in the Piney Woods of East Texas so there's that classic foreboding nature of a small town at night in pitch black. There was also, and maybe part of this was survuval instincts but there was a really creepy feeling at night like you were being watched. This is not to mention the old bridge where the story is that they would lynch people(the town maintained its sundown status by its violent reputation.) Unfortunately, it is not the only town in the deep South that has a dark past when it comes to racial issues.
@@HistoryNerd808 I'm glad your old town is changing. I've been through some area that definitely felt...questionable and foreboding. Unfortunately, it's not just in the South. There's plenty in the North, Mid West, SW, California and the PNW. Seems to be quite a few in Illinois.
@@raven3moon Yeah, we didn't know about its past when we moved there. It's really just like any other small Southern town now. I'm skeptical of things like ghosts and such but at night, there very much is that sense of something dark in the air, although maybe a lot of that is just that with the forests, it makes it look like the classic scene of a horror movie in dim lighting. Unfortunately though, no matter how much things change for the better, you're always going to have people who can't accept the fact that it isn't the 1960s anymore. And something like a bad and violent reputation is really hard to get out from under.
@@HistoryNerd808 To me, ghosts and emotions are just energy (which can't be destroyed) that's been left behind, but is also stuck in place. If a place has a bad past, it'll probably take a lot to clear the negativity out. It's like vacuuming and airing out a room that's been closed off and hasn't been cleaned for 20 years.
Cairo, Ill is one of them.
I've heard that in Nottingham you have a terrible problem with criminals running around Sherwood Forest!
2 things:
1: Villisca, Iowa. Been there. The creepiest thing about it was the guy who gave the tour. The history of it was interesting and worth the time if you're in the area, but the supernatural part of it felt very B movie grade (and that's being generous).
2: Skidmore - The last one. He kept getting off on legal technicalities. Somehow, he'd gotten himself a big lawyer that was said to have been a 'mod lawyer'. Some versions say he was a mob enforcer. I'm not sure how much of that is true, but he was arrested several times and either the cops were forced to release him or he'd get very light sentences. He was also known for terrorizing anybody that might testify against him.
He had threatened to kill the man who had the grocery. and it was a tiny town without a prosecuting attorney. The county prosecutor was blocked at every turn by a defense lawyer from Kansas City. There were 2 cops and Rex had told both what he would do to their wives… Rex was very Trumplike in his threats. but he carried out his threats.
The images in the video are random and often unrelated to the locale being discussed. For example, the image at 10:08 is Pittsburg, PA, which is nowhere near Cairo, IL and doesn't resemble it in the slightest other than it's also at the junction of multiple rivers! Kabir: Regarding Pt. Pleasant, WV, I suggest you watch the 2002 film The Mothman Prophecies, starring Richard Gere, based on a 1975 book of the same name. (A similar creature was allegedly seen in Van Meter, Iowa, in 1903, albeit those sightings are much less well-known than those in Pt. Pleasant.)
I remember riding in a car through Centralia, PA a long time ago because we had relatives who lived nearby. I am now 70 years old and I was probably about 10 at the time. The downtown area had a lot of businesses and it seemed quite busy. I followed news reports about the town over the years but I have never been back. It's hard to believe the place is almost totally empty now with no schools, businesses, churches, restaurants, and only a handful of houses. They bulldozed most of the abandoned buildings.
this distance to services in rural America is really common, it's an hour from my house to hospital or shopping. I like it that way.
I remember the baby incident in Skidmore. It made national news.
Cairo Illinois, pronounced: KAY-row
📻🙂
Centralia is built over underground coal seams. Even though the mines were abandoned decades ago because they were pretty much expanded, there's still enough coal left to burn for an estimated 200 years.
My sister used to live years ago not too far from Skidmore in Maryville, Missouri and told me about the bully guy, that nobody saw who shot him even though apparently many people did know but aren't saying anything.
Ive literally driven around Centralia in a Jeep with 3 others, its chill
Also, I’ve watched a bunch of British detective shows, and they all have at least one episode about a village festival straight out of The Wicker Man. *That* shit is creepy.
The Commune run by Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh that purchased the land at Antelope Oregon was quite the problem in the state. Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, and later as Osho, was an Indian godman, philosopher and founder of the Rajneesh movement. When founded the movement was kind of a combination of teachings from the Human Potential Movement of the time and a sex cult. The Movement lives on run by the Osho International Foundation and runs Yoga & meditation programs. The Bhagwan was able to convince his followers in Oregon to sell everything that they owned and give him all the proceeds, or sign their property over to him. At its height in Oregon Bhagwan owned 99 brand new custom made Rolls Royce automobiles; and the large compound was guarded by machine gun carrying women who were faithful lovers of Rajneesh. Every week there was something new in the news about the goings on out there.
Hi Kabir! Centralia is right up near here my parents live. They decided to dump all local trash down the shafts of the unused coal mine, then set it on fire when the pile got too big. I drove past it a few times on the way up the road right there here the exit USED to be. It looked creepy even from a distance. The fire in the ground badly effected the trees, the grass....there are still plumes of smoke rising periodically from here, there, everywhere. It does look like a horror movie scene. Yep, still smokin'
The Whittier tunnel is over 2 miles long, with a posted speed limit of 25 mph, with about a 10 minute travel time, and only has one lane. So the timing around 30 minutes arises from 10 minutes east by car, 10 minutes west by car, and 10 minutes either direction for a train.
Everyone working and living in Whittier directly, or indirectly, supports the seaport.
The thing about Villisca is that there were similar random ax murders of whole families all over the country and maybe one in Canada too, all near railroad lines, over like 20 years. Dozens of them! Theres an excellent book called The Man From the Train that connects many of these and even suggests a suspect. But whether or not they were connected there were MANY of them.
Villisca IA is a 40 minute drive from where I live and I must say, this video really did them dirty. They are just as nice as any Iowan out there and there isn't this "creepy" feeling in the town either.
It's not "rundown", it's just a rural town with nice people and a unique history.
3:00 Yes, I've seen documentaries on this town (buildings) and it's even worse than you can imagine. The people living there look like pure nightmare fuel!
I deliver steel to a company that's actually in Broadhead, WI few times a year. I don't have that feeling when I'm there. From what I see when I'm there, it's nice. And my nephew lives about 15 minutes from there
I would have thought the reason for alternate half hours is obvious : it's a one-lane tunnel, which by the way is shared with the railroad. Whittier is a vital link between Alaska and the rest of the world. The railroad is the only method of moving large scale shipments from the port to the Alaskan interior. Additionally, it's a major port for cruise ships bringing tourists to visit the glaciers.
THE 'every half hour" is because it's a one-lane tunnel. Every 1/2 hour they flip which direction traffic can travel through the single-land tunnel. So depending on your timing you may wait up to 1/2 an hour leaving AND/OR coming into this town.
They have alot of videos on Whittier Alaska even a tour inside
My state made number 1 on this list
That was intriguing!
You should totally react to the Mothman Prophecies (2002) movie, Kabir!
I live in Evans City (Pennsylvania) and pretty much everyone on this half of PA has heard of Centralia. Not only does it leak smoke, but there's also carbon monoxide. As for the inferno, it CANNOT be put out, because that mine it is inside of is not some gold or gem mine, it's an old coal mine so it has a LOT of fuel. Even if you tried to put it out it's too widespread and too hot; it would evaporate water and this isn't like a wildfire where you can hit it from above, there's not many entries to access the mine to even attempt this stuff and it can't be smothered because it broke through the ground and has oxygen in too many places. Pennsylvania just has to wait until it burns out, which will still be many, MANY years to come.
Nobody should go there, not only because the ground has sinkholes, or the flames that you might actually never see... It's carbon monoxide you'll be facing which is VERY dangerous. A TH-cam went live and about 15-minutes in began getting nasty headaches, feeling faint, dizzy, etcetera. Many of us watching told them to get out immediately and either seek medical aid or call it. They learned they were suffering from the carbon monoxide.
I used to live by Auburn and McDowell County WV and I can attest that town is a very quiet community. Mom was doing Census and had me with her there one time. Nice people but keep to themselves. When you hit the edge of town he's right you have to turn back and leave the way you came in. By that time everyone in town has heard a car and usually comes to see who it is lol
15 miles!?!??! LOL!!!!! I drive twice that far to work every day. 😂
The Centralia fire is actually a vast fire in the coal that exists underground. it cannot be put out…too large.
Yes the fire is still going the last I heard
What I can tell you: The people of Whittier, Alaska are very friendly. Do not go to Point Pleasant or Auburn in West Virginia. Centralia, Pennsylvania is an underground coal fire which can not be extinguished. It will continue to burn until it has exhausted all fuel. I live in Pennsylvania, and have always wanted to see Centralia, but it is closed off to visitors now. From what I have heard, the authorities are very strict about trespassing there, mostly because it is quite dangerous.
He should've mentioned that Centralia was a coal mining town and there is a ton of coal that has to burn out. The town also inspired Silent Hill.
I thought bonham Texas would be on here. I passed through one time and stopped at a flea market there and there was this pale lady in Victorian clothes and her daughter following us, so we took off. On our way out of town we saw what I think was a cemetery with no head stones just upside down crosses. Safe to say every time I go to Choctaw casino I take the long way.
I used to dove hunt around Bonham!
I live in Bonham right now as I'm typing this. Things are odd at times. It's not quite as bad since the major meth lab house exploded on the south side of town and the drug cartel sting in Ector went nuts after the fake underground resort was exposed. I still can't believe they fooled Jenny McCarthy and her husband into promoting the fake resort.
I grew up in Oregon. I remember the ruckus the Rajneeshis out in Antelope caused. They were rolled up by the feds a little after the time I graduated from high school. They have the distinction of committing the first act of biological terrorism in the US. It's truly a weird tale.
Antelope, Oregon was VERY strange. The cult village was called Rajneeshpuram [look it up]. The cult leader was bizarre. He had a collection of about 70 Rolls Royce vehicles. Many of his followers were from very wealthy families. They turned over everything they owned to him.
CORRECTION : He had 93 Rolls : Old School: Sex, drugs and Rajneesh's 93 Rolls-Royces
do a tour of O block in chiraq also that fire in that town it's not on land it's below ground in the coal mine. and that Skidmore Town everyone knows who killed the bully guy of the town but no one talked to the police 😂
Having deer on the porch isn’t weird. Rural people often have deer around.
#7 (Centralia, PA), sits on top of a coal mine, and it's the coal that's been burning since 1962.
I doubt that there's any city, town, village that doesn't have a 'bad area'. I first learned about Centralia decades ago - 'cuz the fire is in a coal mine that runs under the town, there's never been a way to extinguish it. As for the town bully in Skidmore, I wonder if the reason the police couldn't do anything was lack of evidence. If everyone was scared of him perhaps no-one was willing to testify against him.
Please react to "Timelapse of the future: a journey to the end of time"
There is a really good video about Whittier Alaska by Peter Santenello
Alaskan Town That Lives In One Building - Isolated From The World 🇺🇸
Jepps himself is assumed to have fathered more than sixty children by many different "wives" some of them under age.
Skidmore is north of my city. there had been many stories about Skidmore and ol Rex. he was a monster and was remarkable in that he was very Trumplike. Nobody has cracked since it happens. and is now a peaceful little town.
Have you heard of Terry Fox???
You can't put it out. There's no way. There's a place in Kazakhstan with a huge pit burning from natural gas that can't be extinguished
A very painful vid!
Ok he made antelope sound so much worse than it is
Centrallia will never go out
THey figure that town will have an underground fire for 100's of years until all the coal is burned up.
Yma O Hyd!!
K. says why not just put it out? Greater minds than yours have thought about it. Wonder why they didn't just ask you?
Just so you know, the LDS church is not associated with this cult, what so ever!!
This guy is kind of full of shit. He just posts stuff that he read somewhere and has no personal experiences. Hang these places are abandoned, and you would never come across unless you looked for them. I've been to Point Pleasant and there isn't anything wrong with visiting this town. It's not creepy
He even incorrectly stated that the crash of the Marshall U. football team plane happened in Point Pleasant.
I know, Centralia, PA isn't walled off, you can go and visit it if you want to, but it not easy to get to, plus there are numerous signs telling you of the danger. Also, the coal in the fire isn't your normal coal, its Anthracite coal, which is type of coal that highest amount cardon and highest amount of energy, which explains why the fire is as hot and long lasting.
kabir open your mind
wertes police in london with knife crime my friend nothing gets done until reaching the the edge of demise then the people rise up you see it in uk today
