  1. Yes Yellow Dog would be awesome!
  2. I am trying to get into hiking so this might be perfect
  3. For some reason I’ve never been there yet. I need to go there!
  4. Thank you I’m definitely going to look into this!
  5. Where is the old school house?!
  6. With the weather getting nicer I’m looking for historic/abandoned local places (an hour or 2 drive is fine) to visit or explore. I’ve been to the Quehanna Wild Area with the nuclear engine test, site and camp and I have also found the coke ovens near Sykesville. Does anyone know of any other interesting places or have ideas?
  7. Is this it? https://toneouts.com/call?&state=PA&jurisdiction=4
  8. I'd also like to check out the old building across the lake in Helvetia
  9. I live pretty much a stones throw from the tunnels, I'm always up for a night walk! I still have to take my trip to Beulah in the next few days since I wasn't able to make it Friday.
  10. It's heart breaking that there is so much lack of respect for people even for the deceased today. I can put up with a lot but the desecration of a grave I won't tolerate. Beulah is such a nice cemetery too, with a lot of history and like all it deserves respect and not to be destroyed. I won't even say any "curse" words of any kind no mater how small. I was always told since I was a little kid that inappropriate language of any kind can upset any spirits that are there. I'm not sure if that's true but I live by that rule.
  11. Probably about 10 years ago or so I was up there at night trying to capture some video and just see what I could see, and the police showed up because the adjacent houses seen my headlights and called them. Yes unfortunately there have been a lot of beer and other kind of parties up there, grave stones kicked over and some actually removed. One year a long time ago me and a friend went up there just to walk the path to the water shed, and when we got to the main entrance and parked we seen a bunch of idiots must have had an all night binger up there because several graves had garbage, beer bottles, cigarette packs and other disgusting things I won't mention littered all over them. We went to what was then called Riverside where we worked, and bought a bunch of trash bags, gloves and a pooper scooper and spent the rest of the day cleaning up the mess. I remember someone came up and thought we made the mess and yelled at us for it. We had to explain to him why we were there and what we were doing instead. What really pissed us off is that we noticed the graves that were littered were people that were police or in the military. So I really can't blame people for calling the cops when they see headlights going up there at night time.
  12. I'm up for it anytime this coming week. Anytime after Sunday night is good with me!!
  13. On both Hulu and YouTube there are really good documentaries about Centraila. There are still a few people living there refusing to leave.
  14. If it is nice tomorrow morning, I am planning on going to get pictures of the tree at least!

  16. That's a very good possibility. I thought the same thing myself before. Hopefully I'll get there Friday and get some pictures.
  17. Yep, the hanging tree is still there as of last summer. I'll take a trip down Friday if it is nice out and snap a picture or two.
  18. Several years ago a lot of the bodies and coffins had to be moved in the oldest part of the cemetery due to excessive rainfall. From what I understand some of the very old plots, where they didn't have vaults the coffins were actually starting to slide through some of the more shallow areas of the hill leading up to the main part of the cemetery. When I was a kid I lived on Beech Street and frequented it. Well I am 32 now I was between 7 or 8 then, I guess I used to sneak up there to play with my imaginary friends my grandma told me years later. I always had a fascination with this place ever since I was little. There are times when I would be up there and the hair on my neck would stand straight up and I would feel so sick and other times when I would be a little more calm. There are a lot of "urban legends" or myths about this place I have heard over the years. I have personally seen a lot of things here, speaking of the old Baptist part of the cemetery in the woods leading back to the water shed, a friend and I were walking down the path and both happened to look down into the woods and seen a woman in a white dress probably about 50 yards...maybe a little less standing quietly over something just looking down. We stood there for a second just watching her then started walking again. A few seconds later we looked back again and she was just gone. This was fall time, leaves everywhere so if she was going to start walking through the woods we would have heard the crunching of the leaves under her feet, not to mention there was no way she would have been out of our visual range that quickly. When we walked down to where she was standing there was a single gravestone there. Couldn't read what was on it though and no leaves or ground was disturbed like someone was just there moments before. Another story rumored to have happend there back before and after the start of the cemetery were hangings. Apparently I was always told this tree sticks out and you could to this day still see the "scars" on the tree to where the rope would rub against the big branch where it was tied. During one of my many many many many many many adventures to Beulah Land I decided to try and find it. Sure enough the tree was easy to find and what looked to me like rope rubs on a big branch. The marks could have been from anything but it did look like what I have always been told so who knows. I know I have seen, witnessed and experienced a lot of things personally in this place as well as a lot of my friends and friends of mine who didn't believe in ghost or spirits period, until the one night we took him up and no one was beside him, and he just took off running back down the hill. When we caught up to him and asked him what the heck was his problem, he said he heard what sounded like "a woman with a severe smokers voice" (direct quote) telling him to get "the hell out." He said so he listened to her and didn't look back. Ever since then he has never set foot with me back in this place. This was back in 1999 or 2000 so there was no bluetooth ear pieces yet haha. I have a lot of stories and have heard a lot of local urban legends from around the area especially Reynoldsville when I lived there...not sure how true some of them are, but they make for some nice night time adventures!
  19. Much appreciated thank you!
  20. I'm looking for the book but cannot seem to find it? Is it for sale because I'd love to get my hands on one and take a day or weekend excursion!
  21. Thank you all for your help on this. You have no idea how much it was driving me crazy trying to remember this!
  22. I think that might be the one I am talking about!
  23. No it isn't Helvetia...it i driving me crazy hat I can't remember where I read that. I was just talking about abandoned towns that were close by and that one popped in my head. I just wish I could remember where it was that I read it.
  24. It has been a while but I thought I remember reading somewhere about an old abandoned town being somewhere behind the Blinker Sheetz or more down towards the car dealers on 322 from Sheetz but I cannot find where I read it. It was somewhere way back in the forrest and all grown over now. Can someone please shed some light on this for me?
