"Footage from the real Silent Hill" Centralia, PA

[Diana881688]

о Боже, это реально город-призрак

[xDoomedHumanityx]

A real industrial wasteland, my next vaction stop !!!

[NJprepper321]

Good Video... check out my page for the video I made

[ZensChannel]

Looks like fallout more than Silent Hill

[ZensChannel]

That coal is supposed to keep burning for another century or two.

[smileyking96]

I wonder if it is possible to convert the town into a geothermal power station?

[finnsia]

@smileyking96 You probably can but no one gives a fuck. Its all about fossil fuels untill its sucked dry.

[tegomassai]

woah there's a real place called silent hill!?!

[yahtzee4u]

@tegomassai No, there was 2006 movie called "Silent Hill" that was inspired by Centralia. That's why the title of this video is "footage from the REAL silent hill"

[stbreal]

@yahtzee4u the movie is based on the game that came out way before the movie based on this cit. game first movie second

[xAcolz]

@stbreal

Truth is that the team that shoot Silent Hill movie visited Centralia a few days before crating Silent Hill

[stbreal]

@xAcolz yes ive seen the movie and the behind the scenes stuff the fact is the game was based on that city the game came first

[FTech41]

im taking a road trip there...2 hours from my home

[dudewtfpasswind]

this is nuts. i have never heard of this until now. why didn't i learn about this in school?

[sausagenmuff]

@dudewtfpasswind because your school is'nt retarded

[dudewtfpasswind]

@sausagenmuff but this is so cooooooooooooooooooooool

[dudewtfpasswind]

be cool to take a diamond plated lava heat suit down into the mines =P

[MarcsLab]

I live near here and I go once a week to walk around for fun.

[VegeXP]

@MarcsLab I wish i could do that. I would go at night with flashlight only lmao.

[XillegaltoastX]

@3:22 Totally seems safe to just stand in the middle of this hazardous gas.

[Blu3Resent]

are we unable to extinguish the fire??

[rafaelcbf0]

@Blu3Resent Who's "we"?

[LudwigDrummer116]

my friends and i have been going there for the past five years. we are local residents and live about an hour away. just recently got a citation for trespassing on private property for $250.

[traumatizion]

1:38 burning coal zombie made it out!

[MrLando41]

So was Vulcanvania

[swift561]

how long has it been burning

[kendraduck09]

@swift561 About 50 years, since 1962

[Bastiest]

I was personally expecting focus point to be a town itself actually.

[JohnBattaglia93]

I'm going here today!!

[SOUNDNiSS]

! need any help?

[HateFenians]

So Prypiat, Ukraine isn't Silent Hill?

[bittysnack]

It's an alright presentation, but at the beginning you should have given a more in-depth history of what the cause was and how the mine fire started. Not enough is explained. People who don't live in PA might be a little confused.

[nia69870]

So, the new Silent Hill yet?

[CalmBefore6]

dude u need a haircut!

[RalphCQ]

Thumbs up if Silent Hill DIDN'T bring you here.

[ChannelMii]

haha of course its in PA

[500mommy]

i live near there i have footage of the fire starting

[planier2011]

I'd love to visit this place sometime. :) Especially since I have been a big fan of the Konami Silent Hill series since 1999!

[XxBoogasnotxX1]

@planier2011 I live right next to there its part of my township. I see it all the time.

[Retr0Master]

Ghost towns intrigue me. I really wish I could go visit but I live too far. It's definitely on my to go list though.

[xXEfiRedfieldXx]

@Retr0Master Same here.Ghost towns are really interesting if you think about it...

[RaoSweetDreams]

imagine walking around in Centralia, all alone, with a radio and a flashlight.

The radio suddenly starts to sound really weird.

You turn around, nothings there.

The street lamps suddenly stops working, and when you turn around again, you see a man with a pyramid on his head, holding a Great knife.

[faatalbert]

Reminds me of S.T.A.L.K.E.R



[sospablak]

barbecue anyone?

[Nilsog]

Was just there last week. So surreal. The ground is insanely hot, whoever was doubting the match lighting in this video. I didn't try it, but definitely believe it's possible.

[CakeAssGerry]

why are they making it so dramatic, its just an abandoned coal reserve thats currently on fire, the earth does weirder things than that

[pkcrossing89]

@CakeAssGerry Toxic gases everywhere

[NytrixOctane]

The scary thing is centrialia has enough coal under it to burn for 100 years.

[red91sit]

@NytrixOctane Between 100 and 250 years...

[xXZerexXxFork]

I went there and then I saw that something was moving in one house so I left I was so scared because when I was leaving all my tires popped no holes or anything thank god for spare tires!

[aatspeed90]

@xXZerexXxFork really?

[MusicFreak121452]

Centralia : The new Silent Hill

[michon56]

@MusicFreak121452 silent hill was based off of this.

[JbmxG89]

:D I love Centralia. I've been going there since the movie came out. Only an hour and a half drive from where I'm at in PA. I highly suggest at least driving through it once to feel the history behind it. Try to go on a rainy day if you want to see a lot of smoke rising. Gives ya that silent hill feeling.

[88osprey]

@JbmxG89 Can you go through the abandoned buildings fairly easily? I love taking pictures of run down places



[JbmxG89]

@88osprey There aren't really many abandoned buildings at least as of last time I was there. There are a few but when I went there last a couple families still occupied the houses on the street perpendicular to the township building. If I'm not mistaken I believe the last of them finally moved out? Then again people have been saying that for years now without any source so when spring comes around I'll head back down there again. On a rainy/cloudy day you can get some deep pictures.

[JbmxG89]

@88osprey Good picture to take if referencing Silent Hill while you are there is the Sirens on top of the township building. Old school they look like the ones on top of the church in the movie. Just as well up the hill from that building is another cemetary. You can also get a good look of the town from the road up there. Just be careful if you see any state police out, rumor is they've been running people out of there but I've gone a dozen times now and haven't had any trouble.

[88osprey]

@JbmxG89 Awesome! Thank you!

[XxknowsabexX]

If I lived there, I would dress up as Pyramid Head and sound the siren. then walk around scaring tourists

[onewhitetiggr]

I wouldnt be lighting matches around there

[TheMalu866]

Silent Hiill é uma mistura de várias cidades diferentes e não só Centralia... =P

Uma delas é San Bruno em California e outras cidades japonesas...

[lilsweeti13]

how u know that its the silent hill.. ?

[xNgasux]

the town full of broken lock...

[isaacjrood]

Very cool, but I think you got your facts wrong, its 250 years not 1000. Still very strange. Males me want to move there...

[Rabbitgirl57]

omfg its looks so dreary. just like silent hill.... I looked up centralia on google maps and looked at it through street view, its so stormy like in this vid. sorta sad D:

[TBOGmorris1113]

after they stopped shooting this video... they started to hear a siren....

(-.(-.(-.(-.-).-).-).-)<=== asian mafia

[stargirl7778910]

wow, what amazes me is that all of this destruction is just cuz of some stupid people trying to burn some trash...

[themooseisontheloose]

@stargirl7778910 well the story is that the volunteer fire dept was to burn the trash but they didn't know that there was a mine seam at the exact spot where the burn was. remember they didn't have the advanced technology we do today. it is a very sad event indeed but who knows if it could have been prevented.

[stargirl7778910]

@themooseisontheloose ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh ok i didnt know that. i played silent hill (the movie) at my halloween party and told my friends that the location was based off of a reall town and they were so shocked.

[Roguyyy]

Everything exploaded cause of Alessa !! I knew it xDD OKay I shut up :)

[Roguyyy]

No pyramid head ? Awww D:

[HandPrintProduction]

i think i've found something interesting that im going to research

[thewonderfulwick]

"The ground is actually so hot that a match will light right on contact" - wow, that's impressive, presumably that's very impressive... I assume.

[sammyjade1987]

i live in shenandoah which is 10 miles away...Centralia was the inspiration for silent hill...if you wiki centralia it tells you that...its creepy there

[foreverladycat]

You shouldnt build anything there, just leave it be.. dont make it owrst. Who would work there anyway?.. Unless you're flat out stupid. Hope the ground falls if its built.

[TheRevolutionPlayer]

Centralia isn't Silent Hill, it doesn't even seems Silent Hill, it's just an amount of debris and gas

[LifeGivesUsHope]

Jesus, Christ. 

[icanhasamanda1]

@jasonxx420xx none the fire is underground but people did pass out from carbon monoxide leaks from their basments

[maikelantonioXD]

por que los gases te matarian ^^ asi de simple

[sammygunnsOfficial]

Hmm, I was listening to requiem for a dream when I clicked on the link to this video.

[azjhoolies]

Almost one Million views.

[nexttsar]

This would have been a much better film if you had interspersed the current footage with photo views of Centralia when it was still a town

[norcuron12]

nicely done video!

[TheOracleDragon]

I still love this video and I still want to go there, I saw recent photos of the roads, people marking them up so others would know they were there, that's just rude in my opinion. All in all, I love this video. ^_^

[Zuluthakid]

Has the theme but where's the pyramid head??? lol

[DethHD]

Ive been to Toluca Lake. No lie.

[alexkrat92]

MICHAELandJELL0 : lol good ideea :))))))

[MICHAELandJELL0]

I swear, one day, I'm goingthere, dressing up as PH and chasing people, even if I kills me..which it probably would...still worth it :D

[aatspeed90]

yeah i know, the 8th silent hill is supposed to come out this October i think. i will get it asap. silent hill 2 has gotten the best ratings and i really liked it too. so i would really like to visit this place sometime and just explore. with a stick though.

[xXDubStepZzGaming]

If rad somewhere that its dangerous to walk there at Night.... Is that true? (Sry for my Bad english im german)

[thedomanthony]

yes it does cause polution coal gives off methane gas when it is burned, it is toxic and you would have to live there and breathe it in constantly to get sick from it. but there are about 3 or 4 people who still reside there, why i do not know but the rest of the town has cleared out due to the health dangers.

[ClairRedfeild]

Couldnt that spewing gas cause pollution? By now it wouldve effected the atmosphere alot.

[VideoMask93]

@ClairRedfeild It has. Coal seam fires are a fair source of CO2 pollution, and one that is very difficult to control.

[captxena31]

wow cool i want to vist is there any chance of danger to my health or well being

[TheSpiralingOutsider]

My dad was actually going to take me there last year but he read that it wasnt safe. And that the ground could collapse in...would have been cool i live near it to!:( damn

[grendel2900]

I want to live there.

[MultiNoobBoob]

I heard you get insta-cancer from even being there.

[thedomanthony]

but it is pretty cool. i saw the comment about it "not being steam" coming from the wholes in the ground, wellall i can say is that might be true further down the road but where i was every smoking whole i put my hand close to was soaking wet and damp the second i placed it near it. so it is deff steam but thats probably only because of the water that runs through the ground also, those whole in the ground act as a spout would on a T kettle

[thedomanthony]

i was just up there today i only live a short hr from the place. wasnt silent hill a game back in like 2000 though? thought thats where the movie came from. but deff is a creepy place anything that has just been abandoned like that is creepy. just empty roads with no houses its like a community missing the homes lol.

[SuperGhost145]

@thedomanthony theres 8 games out now



[JISINSANE3]

Also route 61 is way more collasped and seperated then it was in this film. I was actually in shock to see how much bigger the gap in the road was and how much more the road was subsided

[JISINSANE3]

was there today first time in over a year. The white house on the main road is now gone also. All that remains is the green house and a house directly across from that one and another house on the other side of 61 aswell as the municpal building. Thats it. And still smoking heavy everywhere.

[interpolkillersfan93]

Oh man driving on the right side of the road is the stupidest thing ever

[MisterLEM0NS]

Something erie about that place. You know the story yet the only thing to be asked is "what the hell happened here". Like something out of a movie, a completely decimated and lifeless town, rubble and dirbs everywhere with smoke (not steam) rising from every crack between every rock with large charred holes lined by dead trees. Only its not a movie, its life, which adds to the denial. The only life to be seen is the birds and what other people wish to experience the legend. Creepy...

[Necromanticman]

somebody needs to make a sign that says ''pyramid head was here'' lol

[wolfeski]

requiem for a dream has had a nice run, but at this point someone needs to take it out in the back yard and shoot it

[zorosuman]

fuck of



[carterspencer]

i wonder who still lives there. I mean if it was me living there i would want to get my butt out of there



[GracefullyExpensiveK]

As of now, The population is 12.

[TH3H4ZRD]

can someone explain to me the science behind the dead remains of those trees in the crack in the road

[ArkSkink]

Out of some bloody curiosity. "-Takes a deep breath and sighs.- There's steam and smoke everywhere. It burns your throat when you breathe it in."

What kind of morons walk in to a field of gas and smoke without something to protect their lungs, or some sort of mask? =/ No offense, Great video, but, c'mon.

[AvrilSullivan]

@SilentHillEmzie It's really awesome. We went there when we were going to Knobles.

[bastion87]

lol striking match from the rock, nice trick, making our eyes belive its actuallyreally hot there loool



[abominus566]

2012 is nothing more than a date and a month the world will not end any time soon, something may happen on that date, its the fear of change that people are so foolish to fear it.

[erbamandragora]

è arrivata la pioggia silenziosa cadono gocce sulla mia faccia stanca e pallida notti guardate scorrere dai vetri dell'auto corro veloce per non sentire la paura inutile inutile mi ripeto e rido stupidamente lacrime se sapessi dove andare brucerei all'inferno maledizione a tutti ma non insistere lasciami piangere devo farlo mentre piove così nessuno mi vede e posso continuare a fingere dopo non mi importa cosa mi aspetta continuo a correre maledizione dimmi che passerà...sono lontano

[SilentHillEmzie]

i actually want to visit there

[z2thaanko]

The fear of blood aften causes the fear of flesh.

[Kirov1992]

Beginning of 2012

[Borghammy]

@Kirov1992

How is that the beginning of 2012?. The fire has been burning since 1962 .

[ninam1271999]

some people think thats the entrence to hell and the first place the earth is going to strike when it ends

[169Phoenix]

Fucking polluting the earth!!!

[sahandn9]

Why not build a power plant there with all that free heat and fuel??!?!

[VideoMask93]

@sahandn9 I know you were probably joking, but there's too much carbon monoxide, and the coal fire has weakened the ground significantly (note the sign at 1:57). It's just not safe there.

[LifeGivesUsHope]

@sahandn9 its 2 dangerous with all the fumes

[lozer13]

@sahandn9 it'd be kinda dangerous.

[MissJess781]

@sahandn9 that's a great idea, with all the new ways to go green they could recyle all of that fuel...but then the gov will bitch we have no money, so they can use that money for something useless...it would creat a few hundred jobs tho...hmmm think think...

[theartofwar09]

@sahandn9 because theres no war's to start there

[AnthonyLietz]

i been to that place before its freaky

[stalkermonolith]

The mankind is evil. The Evil destructs itself. So: The mankind destructs itself...

[qazqwerty757]

I want to live there seriously like every day could be loaded with suspense because u never know if you'll fall to ur death!

[KnuckleTheMoose]

Gotta love the "sullen boy look" on the hooknosed fag in the brown t-shirt.

[KnuckleTheMoose]

HE CAN'T EVEN PRONOUNCE "CENTRALIA". What is this guy, 12? Oy what a waste.

[KickinNick09]

Silent Hill Smoke, Dont Breath This

[LemonZeppelin]

So that's why the streets in Silent Hill were collapsing...

[ShAdOwRaiDeR69]

Crazy shit i had no idea a place like this actually exist what a trip now we know where they got inspired to make the video games!!!

[ruts17]

@ShAdOwRaiDeR69 actually Centralia didn't inspire game it inspired the silent hill move but there a movie called Jacob ladder is what actually inspire the game

[counterman4]

they are poeple waiting for these poeple to leave then they are going to set off a bomb and make billions off the coal that they get out. . BUT WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ... did you know we are shipping 85 % of our coal overseas...... AND get this also in 1990 poeple there are not allowed to pay there property taxes. since the state of pa owns there homes.

i have been looking into centralia. if you have any questains just ask.

[ZaraSovereign]

Its now down to about 10 or 11 people.

[KedViper]

Yeah, it definitely wasn't based in WV.

[tomato2gou]

アメリカって怖いな・・・・

[Decnet01]

OMFG... I LOVE one hour photo and that tune.. and i effin LOVE Sh-series.. This vid couldnt be any better than this.. Liked!!!!

[Bip0larRick]

Like scary games? Watch me POOP my pants while playing Amnesia! Bring some TP? :)

[Lukytazcuervo]

El Resident Evil es MIL VECES MEJOR que el chiste de Silent Hill.

[Lukytazcuervo]

RESIDENT EVIL >>>>>>>> SILENT GIL

[AnGeLaXl521]

@Lukytazcuervo Thats your opinion.

I love them both.

[Lukytazcuervo]

@AnGeLaXl521

No, el RE es mejor, por eso siguen haciendo películas, mientras que el SH es un desastre, se piensan que sólamente con miedo van a superar a la acción del RE.

[AnGeLaXl521]

@Lukytazcuervo ENGLISH MOTHERFUCKER

DO YOU SPEAK IT

[Lukytazcuervo]

@AnGeLaXl521

9-11 FUE CREADO POR BUSH Y ESTADOS UNIDOS

DO YOU KNOW THAT. IGNORANTE, HAY MÁS IDIOMAS QUE EL INGLÉS, PERO COMO LOS YANKEES SON TAN IGNORANTES QUE NO SALEN DE ESTADOS UNIDOS Y EUROPA, Y NI SIQUIERA SABEN USAR UN TRADUCTOR.... ANDÁ A COMER A MC DONALD'S, OBESA.

[AnGeLaXl521]

@Lukytazcuervo Who said I didn't know how to use a translator?

WHAT THE FUCK DOES ANYTHING YOU SAID HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING ANYWAY?!

[Lukytazcuervo]

@AnGeLaXl521

Jaja, parece que te llegó la menstruación que estás tan enojada, quedate tranquila, hermosa.

[Alicaint]

@AnGeLaXl521 "Yes!", Brett cowers in fear for his life. I saw what you did, lol.

[903harman]

its still fucking burning what the fuck?!

[abubacar]

@903harman Its estimated to continue to burn for 250 years.  Its coal dude, thats what we use coal for... to burn it. Its also a massive seam, that they can't isolate due to cost.

[903harman]

@abubacar damn i mean if they actually took the time to turn it off instead of letting it burn, that is like billions of dollars burning away.

[thunderlizard5000]

GET TO THE CURCH!!!!!

[FoxsitoTaquito]

the town was the inspired setting for the movie, not the game. The game is based on a movie called "Jacobs Ladder"

[TweFoji]

wow 10 people living there, why wont they move? i mean it's creepy during the night

[MyCinder1]

Same music in every video

[tmart1993]

lol I live about 10 minutes away from Centralia in Frackville. I guess its fairly interesting, but it is strange to sometimes see people from ridiculous places like washington and minnesota coming to see it. I can tell you the match thing is not true, and there are about 10 people living there. The town is basically reserved for teenagers like myself to go to party, because there are no cops there lol.

[MeganMoriyama]

@tmart1993 Kinda a serious question but, is the crime rate high in that area?

[1ApertureRealist]

@MeganMoriyama

There's 10 people there XD

But grr, I hope people don't party there :\

Ruins the silent hill atmosphere.

[doctorwho90909]

I disliked this video because of the childish attempt to fool the viewer at 3:40.

[DroidXL]

actually gonna be stopping in centralia tomorrow while in the area, cant wait!

[jason854656]

ive read that theres very very few people living there? that they refuse to leave due to some conspiracy thing that they believe in ?

[godrilla]

@jason854656 Look it up on wikipedia. It's about something that the government wants the minerals under the city.

some residents have chosen to stay, believing that the evacuation is a conspiracy plot by the state to obtain their mineral rights to the anthracite coal reserves below their homes. Smells like lawyers to me.

[schmitty422]

@godrilla

You read that on aol,
