“The Most Terrifying Town” In Pennsylvania Is Facing Changes:
From the website ONLY IN YOUR STATE:
The town that’s been called the most terrifying place in the United States is facing some changes as state police crack down on trespassers angling to venture onto private property in hopes of exploring the famous ghost town first hand.
Centralia, Pennsylvania has been on fire for more than 50 years. In May of 1962, a landfill fire near town ignited a series of abandoned underground coal mines beneath the sleepy community. Burning sinkholes began to open beneath backyards, roads and homes across town. Since the small town began burning, the population has decreased from a high of 2,449 to a mere 7 residents in 2013.
Alright.. okay.. I get it. A big mine fire took the town away. There is a famous graffiti highway and even a kid that fell in a hole 30 years ago.
But Centralia is not terrifying. It is actually quite boring for people who drive for hours to get there.. Centralia was a quaint little village. Now it’s an empty little vessel. Nothing scary there.. no ghosts.. nothing.
I am actually someone who does NOT get offended by the tourists, but instead wish someone would actually permit people to cash in and set up hot dog stands and visiting centers! I think graffiti highway is cool. But when I see websites call the town terrifying as click bait, it gets old and ridiculous..
