“Stop…maybe.”

#centralia PA may be a ghost town, but at least the ghosts have a sense of humor.

Inside a derelict building in Centralia Pennsylvania.

Abandoned miners’ storage shed left from #centralia mine fire. Nice green cupboard. #abandon_seekers_ #abandonedseekers #abandoned_junkies #abandoned_world #abandonment_issues #trb_rurex #pocket_abandoned #abandonedhouse #trailblazers_rurex #outbound #anythingforashot #the_relics Centralia was settled mostly by Irish and Ukrainians seeking work in the coal mines. The fire has been burning for more than 50 years. The government bought out most of the homes, save the remaining 11 residents, who refuse to leave. They tore down the houses. There are a few left scattered. There are a few stone frames and fences left. You see the steam near the side of the St. Ignatius Cemetery. #fiftyshades_of_history #the_relics #sfx_decay

Look closely at bottom right by little rock opening, you can see steam from a 50 year mine fire. #centralia #exploring_shotz #ruralexploring #trailblazers_rurex #trb_rurex #pocket_abandoned #abandon_seekers_ #abandoned_world #abandoned_junkies #grimelords #detailsofdecay #ruraldecay #rurex_revolution
