You guys have awesome passtimes. Very few scary/haunted locals in my neck of the deep south.


Dude, what are you talking about? The deep south is chock full of spooky stuff! You've got haunted plantations and haunted abandoned theme parks!


I know but I'm talking convenient driving distance.

Yeah, that's nothing. There's a mountain near a lake by me where ancient Indian rites were performed in before the 16th century, then when the settlers came over they used the land to perform rituals involving human sacrifice and black magic. You wanna pee your pants? Go there at night

(Before reading your next post.) Wait Serum you live near Centralia? I`ve been there, I went there with my buddy when we were obsessed with Silent Hill. I always saw that as a slendy based place.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
especially considering EMH went there.

Yeah my house is in an area in Minnesota where early pioneers dealt a lot with natives and their dietites, there was a burial ground in a wooded area near a path nearby. Back in the nineties some homeless people built a camp in that area full with stick huts and all. We went out and explored it back when the pat was still being made, we had to cross a 3 ft diameter sewage pipe to get across the river and get to the area. Going back there after watching MH was pretty creepy.

Yes, I live right near it. There's a few points of interest in my general area, two of which have been destroyed-- there was an abandoned hospital outside Philly some time back called Byberry, which was a cool hangout, and then there was another one not far from there called Pennhurst State School, an asylum, which is now a government housing facility and a 'haunted attraction' at Halloween. Centralia will be the way it is for at least another two hundred years-- the underground mine fires are estimated to burn for a very long time... they tore the town apart from the inside out. Then there's Haycock Mountain-- where the Native Americans performed blessings, but upon being driven out by the settlers, it became a place associated with the abominable black arts-- I never go there at night-- nor should you unless you're looking for scary stuff. And, like many places, we have our share of "Bunnyman Bridges," and "Gates to Hell." There's a place near my local mall that's said to be home to vampires. I've seen the so-called "Vampire House," and it is strange-- but I don't think they're "vampires," just weirdos. Alien abductions, demon dogs, ghostly children and cannibalistic albinos-- we've got it all.

Why the Hell would that be the one thing they care about?

Because the ground in Centralia is so weak that putting vehicles on the dead roads is like an invitation to the fiery pits below.

 		Graffiti all over Centralia makes it much less scary though...particularly the "yellow dick road"...

Still it's one of my favorite "weird" places to visit (I live about 2 hours away myself)

 		@Serum: Trust me, I know all those things. A buddy and mine took a trip out there last spring while he was getting some photographs for a presentation he was making about the sulfur poisoning of the rivers from coal mining/fracking.

 		Serum, I love you. Centralia has a sort of weird beauty to it though. Although when I was there I was almost expecting to hear blaring sirens while everything started to change around me... Also near my house there's an abandoned ConAgra mill next to some railroad tracks, some of the parts of it look very much like the hospital where Tim was a patient. The freaky thing about it is up at the very top there is a spot where there are open pits into the grain silos and it's a straight 100 foot fall to the bottom on the inside. Apparently multiple people have fallen in and died in there. Then once around 15 years ago a wall in the basement caved in while there were people partying in the basement in the middle of the night, and tons of water from the nearby stream/river poured in and drowned four of them, so the bottom two floors are completely flooded. Me and my friends used to go there and explore sometimes, but some of the areas were absolutely terrifying. Especially the places where a misplaced step was all it took for you to fall 100 feet to your horrible lonely death in the dark.

Yes, welcome to Pennsylvania-- Silent Hill doesn't have shit on our scary stuff. Coincidentally, I did hear sirens in Centralia the night I was there that were similar to the ones heard in the Silent Hill games. I think they were just coming from a factory that was not far away, but it's fun to pretend.

It's all fun and games until you hear Pyramid Head's GIANT FUCKING SWORD scraping on the ground nearby.

As long as your radio didn't also go to all static, I think you were fine.

No, the radio just kept picking up what sounded like old broadcasts of Pat Buchanan...
