Brit Reacts To THE CREEPIEST SMALL TOWNS IN AMERICA! 

There's a gas station 2.5 miles away 💀

All the Coal in those mountains. 📻🙂

@@jeffking4176 yeah, I think I read somewhere that the fire will burn for at least another 250 years because of the amount of coal there is.

I was raised in Whittier. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . California. . . . . . . . . . .

Isn't that where Richard Nixon was raised? Could it be ...? Are you the ghost of Nixon? Now that's creepy!

@@user-mg5mv2tn8q: Yep, that's where Nixon was raised. And yes, I went to the same high school (Whittier High) as Tricky Dick (Nixon, class of 1930, me, class of 1979). And weirder, to her dying day, my mom insisted that we were distant relatives by marriage. . .

I feel for you. By the way, I'm one year older than you, class of 1978, but I was in the Midwest.

It is NOT that small lol me and 3 others stopped by there like a year ago. Still a functioning town, it's just really small and quiet

@@squeasel09bro what? Theres nothing there. It feels like you are driving through the woods, you can easily miss the houses while driving

My dad worked alaska cruises for a while, and had great things to say of it's beauty.

There is a song called Gary, Indiana.

I won't even go into that town. My brother lived there for a bit and invited to come for a weekend. I told him absolutely not. I wouldn't call it creepy as much as I would call it extremely dangerous. That place was number 1 in murders for decades.

I had to tell you, we moved west coast to east coast. Had to avoid some mountains, and realized we were pretty well lined up...Rosell...Point Pleasant..a couple others. Since we had to drive ANYAY we made it a "cryptid tour" of the south. we do NOT regret the fun e had on that trip. (nearly a week, mostly camping.) I recommend!

I used to live in a sundown town that has changed away from its past. People don't like to talk about it because it's not something most are proud of. I did have a couple instances though of racist people still around, one with my dad having to kick somebody out of where he volunteered and one of a coworker of mine who left soon after(not sure if related or not. I think I was too in shock to do much of anything but bite my tongue) who I think may have been an unironic white nationalist. My uncle, who is Black, visited once and mentioned that he was being watched while there. I think the creepiest part though has to do with when I was working nights. This was in the Piney Woods of East Texas so there's that classic foreboding nature of a small town at night in pitch black. There was also, and maybe part of this was survuval instincts but there was a really creepy feeling at night like you were being watched. This is not to mention the old bridge where the story is that they would lynch people(the town maintained its sundown status by its violent reputation.) Unfortunately, it is not the only town in the deep South that has a dark past when it comes to racial issues.

@@HistoryNerd808 I'm glad your old town is changing. I've been through some area that definitely felt...questionable and foreboding. Unfortunately, it's not just in the South. There's plenty in the North, Mid West, SW, California and the PNW. Seems to be quite a few in Illinois.

@@raven3moon Yeah, we didn't know about its past when we moved there. It's really just like any other small Southern town now. I'm skeptical of things like ghosts and such but at night, there very much is that sense of something dark in the air, although maybe a lot of that is just that with the forests, it makes it look like the classic scene of a horror movie in dim lighting. Unfortunately though, no matter how much things change for the better, you're always going to have people who can't accept the fact that it isn't the 1960s anymore. And something like a bad and violent reputation is really hard to get out from under.

@@HistoryNerd808 To me, ghosts and emotions are just energy (which can't be destroyed) that's been left behind, but is also stuck in place. If a place has a bad past, it'll probably take a lot to clear the negativity out. It's like vacuuming and airing out a room that's been closed off and hasn't been cleaned for 20 years.

Cairo, Ill is one of them.

My girl is from PA, so me, her, and her sister and her bf stopped by there one time. It's a nice quiet town, feels off, but it's small and ok

@@squeasel09 A lot of my family lives in PA and I’d 100% visit! I’m just massive SH fan so I feel the need to correct that part, haha!

He had threatened to kill the man who had the grocery. and it was a tiny town without a prosecuting attorney. The county prosecutor was blocked at every turn by a defense lawyer from Kansas City. There were 2 cops and Rex had told both what he would do to their wives… Rex was very Trumplike in his threats. but he carried out his threats.

Also, probably a lot safer to just evacuate everybody than to try to put out what is effectively a giant steam engine.

I used to dove hunt around Bonham!

I live in Bonham right now as I'm typing this. Things are odd at times. It's not quite as bad since the major meth lab house exploded on the south side of town and the drug cartel sting in Ector went nuts after the fake underground resort was exposed. I still can't believe they fooled Jenny McCarthy and her husband into promoting the fake resort.

He even incorrectly stated that the crash of the Marshall U. football team plane happened in Point Pleasant.

I know, Centralia, PA isn't walled off, you can go and visit it if you want to, but it not easy to get to, plus there are numerous signs telling you of the danger. Also, the coal in the fire isn't your normal coal, its Anthracite coal, which is type of coal that highest amount cardon and highest amount of energy, which explains why the fire is as hot and long lasting.
