Years ago a game called Silent Hill emerged about a town that was deserted due to an underground coal fire, the town also hosted a range of ghost and gohuls that appeared following a siren. In the last few years a film once again tested your nerves about the same place: Silent Hill. Since we were in Pennsylvania we had to visit the town that inspired these genres.
In 1960's the towns garbage dump accidently ignited the coal seem that ran the length of the area. Over the following fifty years the town was evacuated.
Today less than twenty people still live there. The roads and streets are there, overgrown and abandoned. The ground is cracked and smoke and coal fumes exude.
A church on the hill overlooks, surprisingly in good condition ( a little like the film
). Following the old route 61, you can see the extent of the fires, the road is fractured as if ripped apart by an earth quake. As tit is a mining area you can here the odd siren off in the s
distance, but no ghost or monsters come forth at least not in the day light. Was it scary? no but creepy.At night it may be a little different.

It would've been a credible article to read if you knew how to spell!
