I love when you explore old mines. My Grandfather was a miner for 50 years and President of his local union in Girardville PA. I spent a lot of my summers running around the mountains between Girardville and Ashland. Including Pioneer Coal Mine.
I just did a check about Sasquatch sightings in PA. What made me think of it was when you mentioned it sounded like someone was walking near you and stopped when you stopped. Have heard that before. There’s plenty of info and sighting reports. Maybe look into it if you haven’t yet.
Enjoyed seeing the area a second time ....still intriqued with all the random artifacts etc. creating such a puzzling mystery of how it all came about to create such an interesting landscape of "hills and valleys " ..Made me nervous (again) when you got really close to the steep edge of one ravine..afaid the slippery leaves would send you over . Thank you sharing the adventure again ..👍💙
Really interesting to see this new, edited version of this fascinating explore you did in the fall. I watched in November, and loved seeing it again because I always notice new things the second time that I missed before. Several places, I felt you would be safer with a partner, including the unexpected ravines, and places where you slipped & fell (40:00 min. mark) due to slippery leaves. All part of the adventure, and I know you take precautions. Love your outdoor explorations, Jay! Thanks for sharing a 2nd look here, and looking forward to many more adventures!😊💙
Fascinating J! You went down a rabbit hole on the followup visit. Still, you were able to make some good inferences and made some cool discoveries. Pleasure tailing along.
That was an amazing exploration with some great discoveries, and it was wonderful to watch again! I hope the people that were affected by the disaster are ok now. What a mystery finding the shovel and seeing the dugout hole, maybe the person was looking for some treasure that was buried there. lol Like you said though, it definitely has something to do with mining. Looking forward to your new adventure coming soon and I hope you enjoy your weekend too, thank you JP!
The little struct you were exploring with the little walls and iron rail and the hole in the ground was a small shack built against the rock it also had a metal roof as a young person we would hang out not sure why but that was in the mid seventies if you stood against the back wall looking out and went straight across about 150-250 feet the was also a air shaft coming up in the coal seam the video is posted about 2months agoo as a young kid we would hike all around the area there were so many other treasures to see in the wilderness there ,
JP nice video, that structure you found that someone dug out could be an escape way, or maybe ventilation shaft, those pits kind of look like collapsed stopes, see a lot of those in western mines.
This is really cool seeing this video! I lived in Glen Lyon about 20 years! Where your walking around at by the water tower my friends and I use to walk on those trails and hang out by the water tower. I didn't know they put a fence around it now..There are always black bears back in that area they always come out of the woods and walk around the town. I've had some scary experience's as well that I can't explain and when you said you heard something walking in the leaves it gave me chills 😮. That area has always been very creepy! Glen Lyon is also loaded with sink holes. I have a lot of good memories living in that town ❤
That second bore hole tower must either have a long conduit leading to a hole in the local area….pulling sounds up the chimney…..or it connects to an underground mine cave that has an unknown surface hole somewhere….case in point is that subsidence
It does seem interesting that your +entire+ extended search area doesn't have a single tree that looks older than 20 years max. I bet several of those mounds you found are dump sites. That land was probably bare like 60 years ago, nature has reclaimed it. That WHOLE AREA is bizarre! A leaf blower would help hah
Omgosh I’m so sorry for my multiple comments. Seems I always do that when I watch your vids - this looks like mudflood kind of evidence. Have you ever watched Jon Levi ?
I hope those people are doing ok. Have you checked out the Ashley mine? When I worked at Chewy, I used to drive past it everyday. It is gated off. There's a Family Dollar there. It is interesting. That reminds me, there used to be an old colliery in Stroudsburg.
@@PAYNEFPV I could be mistaken. Shop Rite, Cigarette store, and pizza place used to be there the same site. Now it's a Biospectra I think. The bridge juts out from that hill, in front of McDonald's. I did find what looked like a phone/electrical box on that hill. Homeless people lived under that bridge. The painted flame/coal board fell. I was told a small colliery used to be there.
@@Chaotic-Demise77 ahhh okay yes I remember what you’re talking about now. I remember seeing old pictures of that at the shop rite as well as that bridge abutment just behind McDonald’s. I’m not sure if it was coal mining related or not though?
37:15 couldn't find anything relevant on NMMR or other database to suggest a prominent portal? Many of these data bases contain very old info from the VERY old times when records weren't kept too well. Does look like it may have been a small entrance to a manway or ???? Too small for a below ground to surface haulage shaft and you would have seen remnants of a headframe of sorts? Air shaft maybe? But why the masonry around it? Cool find for sure! You did find plenty of heavy wire rope to suggest something was being spooled from somewhere?
It looked like a pipe extending from the hillside near the smaller sinkhole so is it possible that it's for draining the water tower for inspecting the inside?
We find remnants of some ancient civic engineering projects under the oldest colonial projects in our area of S.E Pa along with strange mounds and Neolithic looking chambers and standing stones it seems some group yet known was shaping the landscape to manipulate water flow prior to the earliest colonial or European contact...seems like a far out idea but just look close and you'll start seeing the older stuff even at our modern quarries someone was quarrying way before...just a thought
Jp I'm not a smart man but as a viewer if those are vent holes for that shaft or bore holes as time goes by and they fill with water it will happen again.did they cap it with cement.because that pipe you showed is open on the top?not sure jp.just asking.great video
The last two times you went near that borehole/chimney I couldn't help but cringe. Hearing the sounds that came out of it this time... yikes. Like the butthole of a rabid animal, it's best to just avoid it.
Too bad you can’t go out there with a leaf blower of some sort. I bet a lot more would be revealed. I wonder if this is an amalgamation of more than one event/project/time period.
Hazarding a guess. Maybe the concrete was a floor for an air compressor and it funnelled air to the tops of those bore hole piers via a steel pipe. To supply air to the mine
love all the cool places you find so whats the next electric bike your going to review im getting a high performance scooter scooter next month with my income tax now if only I could afford video camera ID start my own you tube channel
This is a video from November 2023 that I re-edited & re-uploaded. A Brand New Adventure comes out Monday.
Enjoy your weekend!
Always enjoy your program!
When you put the camera up to the hole you can hear kids hollering but when you took the camera away you couldn't hear them anymore
i thought that's what i heard
It seems he didn't hear it...... interesting 🤔
Noticed immediately, but sounds to me like a woman screaming being tortured. It sounds more ominous than just children playing. CREEPY
Just the wind blowing in the pipe
Or is it some cool sound editing...🤔 loved it, either way😊
Even though is was re-edited and re-uploaded, it felt like a new video to us. Thanks for sharing this with us, we enjoyed it. 🤗
Thank you. If you enjoyed this, I think you'll love the next adventure.
From my coal experience in Appalachia this looks like a trace sinkhole that follows the old mine workings.
I love when you explore old mines. My Grandfather was a miner for 50 years and President of his local union in Girardville PA. I spent a lot of my summers running around the mountains between Girardville and Ashland. Including Pioneer Coal Mine.
Those areas are rich with Mining. The Pioneer mine tour in Ashland is a great place to learn about mining.

I was nervous too, even when watching it back. Like usual, always more questions than answers, but I'm ok with that.
Second time watching. 😱 WHAT DID I HEAR COMING OUT OF PIPE!?! Great video!!
What’s the time-stamp? (Approximately)
Omgosh I think I heard it @8:28 - I hope that was just some kids playing in the neighborhood. That was weird.
Thanks for this replay. I enjoyed it.
Enjoy seeing it again and coming up to date!
More incredible history hidden in the woods. Great video as always.

Nice explore; thank you for taking us along! ………🌝
Glad you enjoyed
Once again - very interesting! Thanks for taking us along!
Well Done JP Ur Brave n Positive gd for Viewing Fascinating n I got to see All video 👋😊

Great replay of this video was a great adventure thanks Jay I enjoyed it just as much the second

Well if they found coal, all they need to do is sit on it for about one thousand years and it will be a diamond haha
Sooo excited to see this pop up!! Thank you for your videos. I just love them!! I recently moved to a new state and am very excited to explore.
Cool rock formations with that trench and cliffs. Questions, questions, questions.💙💙💙
Great story and video thank you
JP, my guess is that big trench was dugout by a big mechine. With the natural rock formation, doesn't seem to be a natural sink hole.
awesome video buddy keep it up jp :D

Please tell me you added the creepy child yelling sounds coming out of the pipe😬😅
That came directly from the video. I didnt hear it until I reviewed the footage.

Haven't Enough time it's interesting n lovely location
35:08 might have been a power magazine?
Did you post a video like this before the new year?
I used to live in that area and not too far from there. There is an old earthmover not far from there....
There's a lot of old dragline workings all over pa

There were voices of children/ghosts from the chimney👻
You missed another horizontal branch to your left at 41:44 through 41:47.
Any mine fire's in the area Pennsylvania has a bunch of them

I know of another interesting thing or two for you to explore in this area. Tell me if you want me to send coordinates and will do privately.
You're welcome to shoot me an email
I'm tarded and can't find your adress. @@JPVideos81

w-b b co on the brick? Wilkes-Barre Brick Company?
💯 Wilkes-Barre brick company
Mud flap for a truck!
Was the government mining in this area, and for what?
love all the cool places you find so whats the next electric bike your going to review im getting a high performance scooter scooter next month with my income tax now if only I could afford video camera ID start my own you tube channel
Just use your phone, that's the best and easiest way to get started.
The trenches are sink holes from collapsed mining tunels.
There is an opreng other explorers have been in. forgot who or what channel before last colapst much lower into workings leading to shaft area
May have been a spring. But now dried out
If you added the screaming coming out of the bore hole. Not funny JP!
That sound happened on it's own.
Ok sorry, Oh my!
😮
GryDene 9 If it is spelled right ) Mud flap off a truck or trailer..
No, God knew we needed a place to throw our junk so He created one.
Oh no! 😄
Please please go put it GoPro down one of those tubes
