Looking at this area on google maps is insane! You can see the streets, but no buildings. It’s truly EERIE! The first time I went there, it was actually by accident. My husband and I live in Delaware and we had just finished putting a lift-kit and off-road tires onto our old Jeep and we spent the night camping on top of a mountain, in the middle of nowhere, Pennsylvania. In the morning, we wanted to go driving around and checking out the local area so I got on my phone to see if I could make out a good route to get down off of the mountain And I see we are right next to the town of Centralia, but I couldn’t figure out why the map looked so funny. Then, it clicked and I said to my husband, “OMG! I think that’s the town that’s been on fire for 50+ years!” It was creepy as hell and definitely worth a stop in if you’re ever in the area.
You mentioned ww2, but the war was WW1.
I lived in an apartment in Colorado that had high levels of carbon monoxide inside. It is the most painful thing I've ever experienced, and so slow. I thought I had COVID originally. I can't imagine what these residents went through.
I feel like Stephanie would love playing A Night in the Woods
Perfect timing for Half-o-ween too 🥰.. also, my family refuses to play Monopoly with me because…same. lol
Why don’t they blow it all up to put the fires out if they can’t flood it smoother it
Professor Harlowe is the BEST!
I've often wondered why the town couldn't dig a channel from the Susquehanna River and flood the mine.
And lithium mining is even worse. We just keep coming up with worse ways to rape this planet.
So cool you did this topic! My family first settled in PA in a neighboring town to Centralia. It's a super popular place to do graduation photo shoots now.
Loooove this intro!!
PS. is red (like the color)-ing.
Sadly it sounds as if Robert Morris was a victim of the age old adage that no good deed goes unpunished I hate that f**** saying but sadly it is a fact of the universe.
Loved this!!! I sent it to my daughter who lives in PA now and is interested in their history. I’d love more history and things from you. I love the true crime, especially crime weekly, but like you said, this is a nice break but I still get your in-depth research and great story-telling style. Keep up the great work!
It also shows you that the country you assist through lending funds that were never paid back would also turn on you and throw you in prison for not paying your debts? Oh, the irony is thick here. The US has always been corrupt and selfish.
Pa resident here. We don't say reading we say "redding" 😊
Love the Stranger Things intro!
Wow I had never heard of this before so thank you for sharing. This is absolutely fascinating!
I know there is no way for you to know this. Reading is Redding. It’s spelled reading but pronounced Redding and I kinda thought everyone knew this due to monopoly but now I realize most people say it wrong. I was born there.
I would LOVE to hear you tell us about the history of Charleston SC and/or Key West. Both are incredibly rich in history.
I think it’s great that you are doing something different. I think it’s fascinating!
I live about 20 miles away from Centralia and know one of the families that still live there. It’s so cool that you’re covering a story literally close to home! Sadly, they recently covered up the graffiti highway that drew so many people there. Also, I know we have weird names that are hard to pronounce…Reading is pronounced like “red”-ing. Like the color. I also heard you say Shell -something which I’m assuming you were trying to say Schuylkill. My area says the “schuyl-kill” like school. Some other areas say it like school-kull.
U know i love u steph … its “reding” like the color red … i know i know why does pa got to be difficult 😊
Fascinating! You always make everything so interesting.
Do you get paid by the minute during your ad reads bc I swear you drag that shit out 😂 I’m kidding, love the content; thanks for all the hard work and effort you put into these videos and thank you helix for sponsoring this video
I so badly want Stephanie to cover the Paris Catacombs! She would do them so much justice!!!
Former Central PA residents here. Centralia is northeast and not southeast of Philadelphia. Have to be careful out there. While there's almost no one left in Centralia, the surrounding towns are relatively poor and sundown towns. During the cold weather, it's eerie to see the smoke rising from the ground and graves in the town cemetery.
💙💛
What a wonderful surprise!! I loved this series when you started posting it.
Your talent for storytelling spans so many topics beyond true crime. As much as I do enjoy your regular content, you’re right – sometimes it’s nice to have something different on tap. Thanks for all your hard work, Steph!
I truly thought you were going to say your video sponsor was a charcoal briquette company, lol 😊
I love Monopoly, too, and I feel the same way. When people play with me, they always lose, lol! I've played for years and live it 😊
😂 you never sell land for any reason back then, especially if he was Irish. Haven't we learned anything through the movie "Far and Away"? lol The father's death bed speech "LAND" lol when the father died, then died, then died, then finally died lol
Moving my shoulders to the beat while you describe centralia….the editing!! Go Nev!
Bro did you say reading its pronounced reding but spelled reading that's how we know you ain't from pa
I don't know if it was possible, but who believes "Father von Curse" would have lit the coal on fire that resulted in the fulfillment of his own curse if he could have, or he simply knew the probabilities.
LMAO I started singing the reading rainbow song too!!
Oh my gosh. I literally love you so much. I was thinking about the reading rainbow and singing the song before you did 😂 (listening to this episode while at work decorating cakes at Walmart ❤)
Love hearing true history with a mystery!
Do you really get it, Stephanie, why people are tearing down those statues and monuments? Do you?
I'm sorry but I have to ask, WHY in the hell would the community place a dump anywhere near where they bury and memorialize their deceased loved ones? ESPECIALLY when the community had celebrated that holiday prior to that? That sounds horribly thoughtless on the community, doesn't it? I don't mean to "victim blame" but it sounds like they ended up being the victims of poor planning and unfortunate events.
We absolutely DO NOT have to hate our American heritage!! Urgh… we should be proud of it, obviously there were some things we'd prefer didn't happen – and yet, we still live in the greatest country in the world (for now).
she is a storyteller <3
"Anyone who plays me in Monopoly, WILL LOSE. Or I will throw the board on the floor" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I listen to your crime podcast and just found this today. My dear, schools should hire you!!!! Amazing research and PRESENTATION! Can’t wait for more of these. Sherry
NO WAY!! My 4x great uncle was a Molly Maguire! His name was black jack. There’s a movie about them and I am related to some of the people interviewed!!
I have three uncles all deceased now that worked in the mines. One died of black lung, one fought in the Korean War came home and was crushed in the mine two weeks after he came home and one that left going to Fl opening a business
I'm really surprised and disappointed by your comments about it being "popular" to dislike colonizers who stole land and killed so many native Americans. Or that people would like to stop glorifying racists and salve owners.
It's fine to discuss the great things these people did but it's super disrespectful of you to brush off why these thoughts and actions are being voiced and seen
Hey gal!!! Love ya! Steph here from Denver and regarding Reading Railroad…. I was just in Phillie this past weekend and went to the Reading Market where a wonderful local named Tootsie schooled me on the history of the Reading Railroad (pronounced ‘Redding’) and said that it is in fact the same RR from monopoly and the last stop there in DT Phillie! Great history surrounding that and thanks for all you do!!!
love you steph nice switching it up
