Hello.
Thank you for taking the time to view this channel.
This channel is no way meant to macabre, ghoulish or tacky, rather, the goal of the channel is to shed light onto the absolute horror in which was the historic era of anthracite coal mining in the anthracite coal fields in Pennsylvania. Sadly, only a handful of well-known disasters are looked back on, occasionally by only a dedicated small niche group of local historians. Day in, day out, from roughly the 1840s to the 1960s, tens of thousands of men toiled underground removing the highly coveted rare anthracite coal. Unfortunately, well over 30,000 would perish violently underground and on the surface, some are forever entombed underground. Hopefully through historical research, primarily audio, some still images, this channel can shed light on the nearly countless smaller tragedies these men suffered. They deserve remembering.

Some Anthracite Coal Mine Comedy...or is this a CAVE? DOOMSDAY BUNKER? MELTED EARTH BRICK SOMETHING?
Just a ridiculous series of comedy skits underground in this old school anthracite coal mine, or is this a crystal CAVE, or this DOOMSDAY BUNKER straight from HELL itself?
We have no idea what this is to be honest. WHAT IS THIS?! I'm certain though that it's a SHAFT & not a tunnel or slope 😉!

A FIND for the AGES! What is this?!🤔 Was this the SCENE of a TRAGIC HORROR back in the early 1940s?!

Join us as we are the first people to see this epic relic of the mighty American Industrial Revolution laying in its tomb. A discovery like this in such an extreme setting is always exciting. As mining hoists go, this is one of the more unusual and extreme due to its environment. We had to do a lot of low vein exploring to get to this one. As always, my tedious nature in exploring revealed a cl...

Hell in the NEIGHBORHOOD! An actual HELL HOLE opened up along an apartment complex! Glen Lyon, Penn.
My uncle Hollis was part of the film production for the Molly Maguires, which was with Sean Connery
Ok
Blackjack Kehoe's great-grandson is my mother's first cousin
Keyholes?
@AnthraciteHorrorStories lol yeah, that's the mic on my phone.. lol. I'm sorry for jumping the gun on the video it was the thought about them not being real. I was in prison in Pottsville, and Joe Wayne is the great grandson. Kehoe's sister was my uncle great grandson.
Apparently it seems like you don't know what you're talking about.
You clearly are not getting my point about Union formation suppression and how the Coal companies controlled the courts here. "The Molly Maguire trials were a surrender of state sovereignty. A private corporation initiated the investigation through a private detective agency. A private police force arrested the alleged defenders, and private attorneys for the coal companies prosecuted them. The state provided only the courtroom and the gallows." - John P. Lavelle quote who was an actual Judge. Think outside the box. I have a history degree, thanks for your comment.
The elephant pen stalactite anthracite coal mine.
IDK how I got hooked on abandoned Pennsylvania coal mine videos being I live in Cali but im a huge fan of it. The literal back breaking work these Men did demands respect. 💪👊🤝
That's awesome. Hopefully you're in a place with good weather out there!
คลาสสิคจริงๆ
Thank you. It really is a classic.
Bro I live in mountain top
@@Saber9213-jg6jy nice. Watch my full length content then. It's all local.
So cool learning about the miners hammering in wedges of wood to warn themselves to collapse. Very interesting.
It is pretty ingenious!
I seen you were at Kirby park in WB i live 10 minutes away. May i ask where is this???
I don't share underground locations for a variety of reasons. I'm sorry.
@@AnthraciteHorrorStories i didn't want to know exact live just wondering if you're still in my area that's all
@@ryanr4181 it's all relatively close in the Anthracite Region my friend!
We need those Russian guys that go in the nuke water diving in buildings that flooded...They would go in there for sure!
Hahahaha they're Ukrainians!!
@@AnthraciteHorrorStories Russian and Ukraine are the same! Ukraine means something like 1st line of defense! That's why this War over there is basically a Civil War...
Im not from the Northeast but I love watching you and others explore coal mines. It's too bad that beautiful Hoist belongs in some kind of Museum. Extraordinary piece of old American Machinery.
Thank you. I appreciate it and I agree. Where are you watching from if I may ask?
yeah be breathing in black mold and carbon dioxide with this one 🗣️🗣️🔥
@@firesnake5686 that's actually a spot on analysis tbh for real, lol.
It's literally what you called it with all that ancient carbon down there! Likely the reason mutant fish & Godzilla eventually mutate into existence. I reckon we’ll be long gone by then brother 🤠
Mercury, Manganese, Arsenic, PCBs, you name it, this water has it.
Chromium blue 😮 ☠️
Mercury, Manganese, Arsenic, PCBs, you name it, this water has it.
@@AnthraciteHorrorStories it's love canal underground
@@davestrang8585 True. Research the Butler Mine Tunnel Contamination in Pittston, Penn. You won't believe that madness..
My guy said "Free prostate exam". For a split second I was like "Gggghhheeee" then I had that moment like shiiiiiiiittttttt.
He gives thorough....but rough ones.
The Arnold voice filter. Ridiculous.
One of the greatest for sure!
Boy, I bet you'd stick your head in fire if I told ya you could see Hell.
We're just having fun with the ridiculous hell stuff. You can say we found inspiration from other explorers. They really think though that these mines are caves, have no idea what they're looking at, etc. lol
@@AnthraciteHorrorStories I was just quoting house of 1000 corpses- lots of good material in that one...
@@blairmielnik8228 hahaha. It's been ages since I heard that one brought up!
@@blairmielnik8228 I had to just watch the trailer to this. I remember when it came out...22 years ago! Yikes! That quote is in the trailer, lol. I watched the I hate clowns scene. Typical Rob Zombie cinematography! 😆
Sweeeet
Don't wanna fall, actually I'd be fine, for the smaller shorter explorers though....it could be a trip, a trip to HELL itself!
I could, there’s much older stuff to see where I am too. Pumping waterwheels and the like from the 1800s - so if you’re ever in the uk/Wales specifically, you’d love it. Though this is still an amazing find. Cant believe someone didn’t hoist it out and weigh it in…
That's awesome. You have lots of Anthracite there too. Do you go underground there? There are so many of these hoists here underground sadly. Cool to see, but sad that they just sit and rot.
😂😂😂
Oh yaaaaa brotherrrr!
WB resident. After 4 months, i saw this. Went to see the sinkhole myself up the BMT. I couldn't see anything, sadly.
Hell ya. Don't worry, it'll open up again and again...there will be other epic collapses too unfortunately.
Very cool
Thank you. It is a cool hoist and environment.
@@AnthraciteHorrorStories it’s bad ass down there!
@@tonysdailygrind2162 💯%
Another great coal mine experience. Thank you
Appreciate it!!
I like the background music in this one! Kind of had a Silent Hill vibe to it, if you’ve ever played those video games.
Thanks Frank. Yes I did. I still own them actually. Hahahaha. I still have my PS 1.
@@AnthraciteHorrorStories I still have every game that I’ve ever bought going back to the late 1990s. And, yes, I still have my PS1 as well as my PS2 and PS3. The PS1 is in the attic because PS1 games can be played on a PS2. The PS2 and PS3 are both still hooked up to two separate TVs. The PS2 is hooked up to my really old TV set I bought back in the 1990s before flat screens and LCD screens were a thing in TVs. The problem with all of this is that I really have no desire to play video games anymore. Kind of outgrew them, I guess.
@AbandonedMines11 I hear you man. That's cool you have them still too like me. I no longer have a PS2 though, I wasn't the biggest fan of PS2. I still have my Xbox 360 tho. I used to play StarCraft Broodwar for PC, maybe I'll play a game of that soon. Such a classic. It sucks getting older bro.
@@AnthraciteHorrorStories I do believe the late 1990s and 2000 - 2010 were the golden years for video games. So many creative, groundbreaking games back in those years that were taking advantage of the new technology. I don’t follow video games too much anymore, but it definitely seems like today’s games just don’t measure up at all.
@@AbandonedMines11 a lot of shooting games and stuff now. Remember Crash Team Racing??
My Dad smoked Pall Mall non-filter for 28 years after he returned from Nam. He did stop in 94 & still is alive today
I'm glad he made it home from the war and quit smoking! Good for him!! Non filtered is gross IMO LOL.
😂
I wonder what the sign was trying to tell us??
Where
I don't share locations, sorry, it compromises the spots and it's bad for a variety of other reasons.
This reminds me of shipwrecks on coastlines where you can only see the top poking out of the water
Ikr?! We said the Titanic too!!!
Stop!!! Right to the point 🎉
This is awesome. When yall have fantastic tours I want to go.
My great-grandparents lived in McIntyre Village and three of their young children are buried in the Cemetery.
I'm sorry to hear about the children. That's amazing your family loved up there. Have you ever been up there?
I have not been there. Just learned about it a couple of months ago.
@@JimCarey-l9l if you ever need a guide up there, let me know.
@@AnthraciteHorrorStories Thank you for the offer and thanks for a most informative and well-done video.
@@JimCarey-l9l Thank you very much, no problem & you're welcome. I know the lay of the land up there very well, I can even show you old building foundations, etc.
