This Underground Mine, Tunnel/Cavern was used by The Original American Founding ForeFathers for their MASON/FREE-MASON get togethers/meetings. My Uncle lives near this location and he told me all of this Underground History that's being "Lost" in our life times for generations to come. I just want to spread a little bit more info on what I know from "Forgotten History". I love history and "spelunking" like this man here is doing it provide these amazing sites with light to boot. An old saying goes, "Dark to LIGHT; LIGHT to Dark" comes to mind here
I am amazed at your videoes but also horrified if i was your friend or relative i demand u to please stop your life is worth more then then doing this i really pray u stay safe always
These finds of yours are amazing! A freaking underground city, undisturbed for 50-100 years. If only those gangways could talk. Most people above ground nowadays have no idea of what great men in mines preceded them, and without whom, none of us would be here. Outstanding!
I am so claustrophobic, I would never be able to go into these places, so I love watching you go where I never could! Would love to see some video of the old cemetery as well.
You have big ones my friend! Ive seen way too many monster movies in my 67 years to go exploring tunnels beneath a cemetery. It was hella fun though watching. Thanx!
All these tunnels and rooms under the cemetery reminds me of an old Tales from the Crypt episode. The one with the ghouls who ran the scam paying to bury homeless people so they could eat them............
@@AmazingPennsylvania 😳 It's shocking that they would even consider rolling a train through directly above an adit like that. Those miners should of got a pile of hazard pay for working in that hole.
I have watched many of your videos. This is the very coolest for some reason. It just came to me why I find your videos so fasicnating. If you have read The Divine Comedy where Dante goes into Hell - and if you've ever seen the gloomy but fascinating engravings made for it - your descents into Pa coal mines are like that. It's like an archetypal descent into hell, a magical journey. This is very different from YT channels where people explore mines out west. Those mines are so pristine even after centuries. But Pa coal mines? It's a descent into stygian darkness! And of course, I'll never look at a hole in the ground in the same way again. You find openings like little slits in the ground with some grass over them and crawl in and and find a world! You're channel is very cool and your hobby definitely unique!
Thank you very much for coming along with me by watching. Reading your take on this is incredibly interesting. I really try to present it as a journey, and adventure. While there's a historical significance to many of these places.. it really does feel like a descent into hell. Please keep watching, I appreciate viewers like yourself so much. There's many more incredible things coming!
I'm glad ur well equipped and helmeted, with an air quality detector, it would be cool to get a Geiger counter and see if there's radioactivity in these mines, that could have contributed to the miner's poor health. This is a bunker, it's crazy.
That's how I used to get into my neighbor's basement when I lived in PA. Lava tubes have similar ceiling collapses. Layers peel off in large slabs. Squished like a bug if you happen to be in one during an earthquake.
I absolutely love it. I really enjoyed watching all these videos you make. Stay safe mate looking forward watching more new video. Also at 6:33 I saw a shadow ghost right after you turn the camera back to the hallway of the mine. I had to rewind it couple time to watch it definitely a ghost and 14:19 am orp mist right after you turn the camera again. Stay awesome exploring and stay safe.
If you're walking in drainage tunnels, it's prob good to have a big stick to check depth if the water is opaque and dirty, you don't want to go headlong into a pool of mystery depth... the water looks clean though
Back in the day the only things you could get at the local mall were a pick-axe, a hard hat, a headlamp, and back pain on layway, then you had to work that debt off in the mine.
Do you ever check out local archives to see if there are any photos from these old mines you find? I'm sure in a library or city hall there are some records of all the many mines that once operated in an area. It would be cool to see some old photos of these rooms contrasted with your new footage, like a "then & now" kind of thing. I've always been fascinated with that stuff. Growing up in Queens, I had a lot of old New York photos of street corners and buildings from the 19th and early 20th century that I was familiar with in present day.
I wonder if that’s the underground railroad. What part of Pennsylvania are you in? I know my aunt had rooms like that under her home near Scranton, and it was the underground railroad.
I did not read all of the comments so if im asking a question that has been asked sorry. My question is how do you find your way out, markers or something. Thank you. Great work .
Above the way in was the ceiling thick protected , i think IT was Made at world war 2 , Strange why the end was filled with groundsand , this Underground was beautifull to watsh , 🧔👷👍 thanks for the Video!
This reminds me of a horror story about flesh-eating ghouls that had a network of tunnels beneath a cemetery that enabled them to rob fresh graves from beneath so no one would know what they were doing.
I wonder if some of the rooms were areas of refuge in case of a cave in. They looked very strong & I spied at least one rockbolt. Have a great weekend.
Guess the culvert turned out to be a haulage adit portal! I’d imagine the coal was emptied into a tipple and then loaded into RR cars somewhere at or below that grade. It’d also be interesting to know how those two drifts gradually filled with so much sedimentary material. You’re talking tens of thousands of tons…
Dam that's a tight squeeze, couldn't do it !! Nice vein of coal ! Be fascinating to hear history of these mines ! Man I don't know you do it, stay safe thanks for taking us along !!
Pretty neat office area. Must get rain and wash the soil in or did it look like they filled it to stop people like you, lol. Was the tube under tracks or a road? If it was a mine and the tracks crossed over they would tube it since that is layers that give way in large pieces. Why are all the guys going into tunnels such big upper body guys, lol. You need a skinny little friend to help you. Stay safe and healthy and watch out for tweekers in those places.
There are probably thousands of places lie this around the country that can be repurposed and used as fall out shelters and/or dwellings for the homeless.
I'm only 5 seconds in and feel massive anxiety from claustrophobia. Just thinking of having to squeeze myself into a hole like that gave me a pit my stomach. I don't know how you do it. 😂
It didn't look like there was much by way of cave-ins in the area with the rooms... How do you figure that much dirt got piled in there, especially that high - almost to the ceiling? Edit to add - between 12:37-12:45 - dang if it doesn't look like there's someone stooped down in the way far back darkness - The first time you sweep the light, you can see it and the second time you sweep the light it's gone. Almost like it looks up, sees you and then disappears. Logically, of course there isn't anyone there and whatever I saw is a trick of the light and I'm sure just a reflection off the shiny surface of the coal still there, but it made me do a double take!
