Centralia Burning Ghost Town – Pennsylvania USA
Centralia Burning Ghost Town – Pennsylvania USA
Centralia, Pennsylvania was nearly entirely evacuated following a coal mine fire, burning beneath the town since 1962.
Centralia’s fire started in 1962, when residents turned an old strip mine into a dump, and setting the rubbish alight. The fire spread through an unsealed opening to the underground coal mines, igniting a seam of coal, and the fire has been burning to this day.
In 1992, Pennsylvania condemned the town and claimed it under eminent domain in an attempt for force the remaining residents out. Some sued, and were allowed to stay.
A section of State Route 61 was abandoned after it began to buckle and crumble from the underground fire.
The fire stretches 12km, and burns underneath an area of 15 square kilometres, 300 feet below ground, authorities say the fire could burn for another 250 years.
The town now mostly attracts tourists who visit an abandoned highway, where many profanities and obscene pictures are spray painted onto it, over time the highway has earned the nickname Graffiti Highway.
Centralia is rumored to have inspired Silent Hill.
Thanks for watching

The biomarker vaccine won’t be mandatory there.
I bet they put on one helluva Christmas parade!
Government has destroyed the graffiti highway. They said due to complaints they had to get rid of it. I’m glad I was able to be there on several occasions before being destroyed.
Mind blowing
Recently they(not sure whom) have covered the “graffiti highway” with layers of dirt. This was due to all the people stopping and traveling to this area. Social media ruins another thing!👏🏼
chernobyl but less casualties.
Fuck yeah no traffic

First 30 seconds, Nuf said.
★★★ *FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VIDEO / FACT UPDATES* ★★★
*1) At **3:40**, he says “March, 2019”?* – For some reason people are hearing me say 2019 at 3:40, I listened to the video, and I clearly hear 2018, which is what I said.
*2) Where did all the houses go?* – I have not researched this answer, it is just a guess, but I would assume either the government relocated the houses to new plots of lands in another town, or once people moved out the government demolished the houses, so homeless people could not live in them.
*3) The cheerful jingling music doesn’t really fit the video* – Yes I know, but I made this video when I was using that music a lot, as I own the licence to it and it was kind of my theme music, but I started using more appropriate music for the topic as time went by.
And they worry about electric cars,…..lmao
All the graffiti and spray paint just breaks our hearts. Nothing can be left alone or just be kept sacred anymore.

That’s where the ghost town trail got it’s name:)
Why is your map missing Rhode Island?
New Update: The Forest is back green as can be

Bro I live in pa and I never know about this place until 2 years ago
Must be Hell ; )
Would i stay…depends….
Shilent hill resl life edition
Maybe film another Wrong Turn movie there….
This is not what happened there.
Home is where the hert is. Where ever that may be?
Rent free and no house payment. Bank won’t repossess
well not only is it stubborn-ness but also they stay because some know, nothing else. born there and raised there as a new born baby till now old and gray. they don’t have any where else to go to that their family moved onto. if you were forced to give up everything you know and loved and only had this 1 place to remind you of your parents or grandparents, would you give that up? its so sad, just let these people be and live their life in piece.

COAL…
make a nice lake
I don’t understand. If there are wildfires burning for decades then how is there an energy crisis?
It’s all global warming man!! Obey!
I guess nature taking over is the best solution. All those awful areas in Detroit should be considered the same way.
I bet winter is pretty easy there.
Reminds me of the ash heap
In my restless dreams, I see that town….
90 93….. 90 92… WTF….
The graffiti is just everywhere
Well I live close to Centralia… so I’ll go to visit this summer
Good info.
Thanks to GLOBALISM!!!
Am I the only one here because of scp-1179?????
Ah my first van life stop when I start
People complained about breathing problems… Nice music.
If only the video didn’t start with a crystal clear shot of blatantly dirty language on a building for all the kids to see.
Renders this useless in a class or youth-educational setting. Guess I’ll look elsewhere for a documentary on this.
Lots of places to go dogging 😄
This is in pennsylvania and in jharia dhanbad jharkhand india its also a threat…… today a mother along with her daughter died because of this.
I like how the video about a town that was made unlivable by a massive fucking underground fire, has a nice chill upbeat music playing in the background xD
