That area was built by the civilian conservation corps during the depression. It was a a swimming area with a nice little beach. Down the road and back through the woods were campsites some remnants can still be found.
ALOHA Wanderng Woodsman, I just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this video. I'm disabled so hiking isn't something I can do so... I SUBSCRIBED! Looking forward to more of your hiking videos. BTW, I've never seen so many orange leaves before in my life! That's one thing we really don't get in Hawai'i are the seasons. ;-D Take care, stay safe and don't forget to share your aloha spirit with another. GOD BLESS, - AuntyKeli ;-)
Those stairs were part of six penny lake resort. I vaguely remember the lake had a set of stairs like that that went into the lake. I wonder if those were the stairs that went into the lake. We used to go there when I was a kid in the sixties and seventies. The resort was well past its prime back then and looked like moss grown set from land of the lost or planet of the apes. I’d love to see what is left on the resort. It was concrete and brick and was multiple levels high. If it still existed it would probably be a good movie set for a post apocalyptic movie. The lake was spring fed and was always freezing cold. Chris
I live in NW PA and have French Creek a few hundred yards from my house. I would have never guessed French Creek State Park was in Eastern PA. The French Creek near me goes through Erie, Crawford and Venango Counties. Of course we pronounce it as "French Crick". Wish I could have watched your videos when I was in Iraq. You can't be in a bad mood when you walk through the Pennsylvanian forests. Great video.
If you're coming to this video expecting to see something supernatural, you clicked on the wrong video. This is not made to be another "stairs in the woods" horror story, he actually found a legitimate stone staircase that used to belong to part of a swimming attraction. If you're wondering where that is in the video, it's at 5:00. Still an excellent video, I was just getting slightly annoyed at the comments.
Hi I enjoy you videos and what you are doing. Just a thought. Most of the former buildings you are showing were the remains of some companies assets, the wood part of the building most likely was sold off as lumber to recoup as much of their investment back as possible. This lumber could then be re-sold for building other buildings, as milled lumber was probably hard to come by back then. I enjoy history, but at 65 I am probably past wandering around the woods anymore, so it is great to have someone like you, who is willing to show us these things. Thanks, John
Interesting. I love hiking on cold, wet Fall days. I never stay on trail, I like following the old stone property walls and see where they lead, I've come across lots of old stone foundations but that's about it. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Thats an old waterpark started around 1913 and closed in the early 1980s because of Geese n it became unsanitary to swim. It used to be a huge lake drained down to a small pond. It was feed by a natural spring. It also hsd two huge bath houses and pucnic areas. It was called Six Penny.
Just stumbled across your video I live within walking distance of where you were. Six Penny lake was the swimming lake. Some early memories of visiting it when I was a kid. The Canadian Geese killed the lake, so they drained it. I remember you could not place a foot down without stepping on goose droppings all over the entire beach area. Several deaths have occurred in the quarry. One where park officials were trying to chase out kids and one fell off the uphill side of the quarry.
heya here's some pics I found when looking up about the quarry. It sounds like it was a famous quarry for its particular type of black granite, French Creek Granite co. around early 1900s. It was used in many monuments. anyway, here's a link to some pics. really big place. www.flickr.com/photos/fate0000/3717126685/in/photostream/ from 2009 I think. Thanks for your interesting video tours. I like hiking around like that and investigating around at interesting things. I love those gloomy foggy cool days also. gives things an otherworldly appearance and jump starts ones imagination.
its called 6 penny lake. was built as a "resort" in the 20's. the dam was built to be a swimming hole. there are little stone fire places up along the paved roads that go thorough there. there is also a parking area if you walk the roads. hope you like our foot bridge.
Get a remote control drone with a camera, It can even be a small aircraft version, just as long as it collects some images without people being easily able to shoot it down.
I really enjoyed your video. I frequently visit French Creek but have never hiked on Six Penny Trail. After seeing your video I'll certainly check it out. As regards the quarry...from personal experience, the rangers are VERY serious about the "no trespassing" in that area. Apparently there were some fatalities there in the distant past and the park service doesn't want anyone getting anywhere near it. Be forewarned.
Dan Finegan. look up missing 411. that might tell you something. i think its all related. dave pauldies has a movie coming out too. but thats why they dont want anybody back there. i would bet on it.
Love the videos. I grew up in the minersville area. I was in those mountains more than I was at home sometimes. Especially in the summer. I now live on the edge of a city in Indiana. The ridge line of the Appalachian trail was awesome to find. The rattlers at hawk mountain felt the same. Lol Thanks again Be safe !!!
Also the State had originally left the abandoned buildings at the old day use area, but kids would party in them and sometimes set them on fire. Sooo, unfortunately like I said everything was taken down and the lake drained.
Former Six Penny Park as others have commented. There were some very nice pavilions and large bath house on the lake at one time. Not far from this place is a timber railroad bridge for the Saint Peters branch of the Reading RR. Some great quarry history and ruins back in the woods along the RR bed.
@@porkturtle8321 up the road from that quarry in like 2008/09 they found chopped up human remains of a disabled gentleman......had to do with inheritance and the brother got screwed....killed his brother and cut him up. They found the rest of him in a red jeep by the cemetery near Daniel Boone high school
They don't show the quarry because they don't want people going in there. Many a person has perished climbing or swimming in the quarry. Take it from me, I used to work there. 6 penny area was abandoned unfortunately, the lake held native brook trout
Six penny lake....it WAS an extremely cold lake used in the 50's to the 70's for swimming, etc. It was drained as part of an attempt to return flowing waters to their original form in the state....i.e. dam removal.
Very Interesting! Did you ever do any research as to what kind of buildings were there? Have you found any thing on the history of that particular area? I would love to know what was there and how old those foundations are.
+BreAnna Stevenson I wasn't able to find anything that related directly to those building. There is a historical Iron Furnace located nearby, so I think the ruins may have been houses from some of the wealthy people associated with the Furnace - just guessing.
I live near there, just walked this trail last week. it is an old resort area from the 70,s. six penny creek or something like that. the park service bought it. Links to park. anyway, it was left abandoned. these were the stairs entering the lake pool. on the other side is the damn that you can block up with 4x6's to make it a pool again. the creek fills it. (I'm thinking about making it a pool again lol. nice hiking area.
+jp “jpntdl” E very cool. Thanks for telling us what you know! if you do make a pool, or next time you go up there, you should record it. Let me know if you do!
I have a few tricks up my sleeve for restoring the pool :). Could take several weeks to fill so it would have to be the time of year water flows the heaviest. I found out the scoop on the resort after texting a friend. It was called "six penny" and was in operation roughly 1930 to 1980. My buddies dad used to go there as a kid so I heard some stories about it. All the old foundations, some roads, spring houses, and odds and ends like baskets were left behind.
kananga309 it's simple,stairs in any forest results are,missing people,people limbs are removed strange weather and the people go up don't come down and the ones that went almost to the top ended up missing for years or don't remember anything,alot things happen with "The stairs" research it
Zdiddy7 first off I don't do reddit,second if you go to actually websites of people filing the reports (not youtube) just google it instead of being childish and name calling shows lack of language skills and knowledge.thank you very much!
I happen to have a map of that state park which was provided to the contestants during an event put on by DVOA (Delaware Valley Orienteering Association) and it is very detailed, showing any rock outcroppings, RUINS, and other geographic details. These maps are the most detailed mas I have ever found....not sure if you can still get any of these, but they have to be details because of their use.
I found an almost exact duplicate of the wall and stairs here in Arkansas near the Buffalo River! There was no foundation for a house or any structure at the top of the stairs. I climbed the stairs but nothing happened, other than the fact that I was several feet higher than when I started....
stairs in the woods, muddy trail at the bottom of the stairs, no leaves on the trail well it not on the map but it looks well used for something. why was there a trail to the stairs but nothing at the top of the stairs- i think you found a porthole to travel back in time maybe.
My neighbor in CT had a dam and pond like that. You just slide 2x6 boards in to raise the water level. We used to pull one out and rum downstream to watch the water rush down.
I would suspect if there was a dam and the stone wall that there probably was a small wood house that they took away. Usually someone lived where they built a dam. I would suspect since this land is part of a park the state of Feds bought the land and they remove any dwellings. Very common where I live. They control the waterways almost nationwide. You can live near but they own the waterways.
good vid...got the whole place to yourself....ive seen those stairs a few times on one of my fb pages, abandoned pa....about 11/2 yrs ago...a few of the members did alot of pics while hiking..looks like a pretty nice place up there
That reminds me of Alonzo F. Bonsall Bird Sanctuary in northern NJ. Not that big, but there's a lot of really weird and senseless structures there, also underground tunnels. We used to drink there at night in the 80s. One time, and I have no idea how this happened, we got lost in there for 4 hours despite knowing the place really well and it not being a big place at all. Alonzo is in either Clifton or Bloomfield or right on the border. You park on a regular suburban street and take a path that goes directly between 2 houses to get inside. I think the street is Alexander Ave. but it's been YEARS since I been there.
No way. I just looked at Google maps 40.850089, -74.187913 and there's only a tiny piece of it left. It used to be the whole area between Alexander Ave. and Chittenden but they built a whole mess of new streets. Oh well. If you DO decide to check it out I wouldn't stick to any of the paths, that is, if you want to find something weird.
Be very careful in state parks, people go missing and are never found or are found days later in areas that have already been searched. Some of the places had "devil" in the name of the place. Stay safe and take a good gps. with you.
Its easy to slip or trip. Its easy to fall over and bang your head & that alone can kill you, or leave you confused, disorientated or brain injured & unable to find your way, or even move. Just getting dehydrated can put you into a very disadvantaged state, it can cause disorientation, confusion, paranoia, exhaustion. If you are on your own you could easily die with no intervention from anything paranormal. Travel in small groups, with people you know well.
Just a quick heads up man , there's a lot of bazaar unexplainable dissapearances going on in National Parks and forests . I wouldn't recommend going out hiking alone at all due to the fact that people vanish right under the noses of others . But if you must I would recommend carrying a personal transponder and a firearm. If you want to know more search up Missing 411 I'm positive youll be baffled . Something not normal is going on , and it's not related to human abductions getting lost or wildlife. These people are vanishing under circumstances unknown. There's currently 58 clusters in the us alone. Yosemite National Park having the largest cluster of missing people. What's scary is blood hounds cannot pick up a scent. People end up miles and miles away over mountain ranges in record time . It's very strange I wont get into all of it , but there's something taking people that is beyond our normal logical understanding. Just a heads up man , I really recommend you look into Missing 411 by David Paulidis. And stay safe !
I do believe that area the woods were your at could possibly be the location of the Old Hunt Club that was there many many moons ago they had about that same Stone staircase and the walls I'm seeing on your video and it reminded me of the big hotel that used to have there for the Hunt Club I think the only thing left there's Foundation if you could locate it... I thought about it and then when you found the pond then they really started bringing back the memory of the Old Hunt Club that was out in the National Park... I'm thinking is in the early nineteen hundreds or the late 18 hundreds somewhere in there.... Be blessed...BBE..
Went camping and hunting at French Creek in 1996, haven't been back since, I go to Blue Rocks campground, family owned, State parks are cheaper but a pain in the ass, too many restrictions, years ago Pennsylvania State campgrounds were first come, first served, as you know, now, a reservation is needed, BR is in upper Berks county, wonder what those steps you found were for?
As teenagers in the late 70's into the 80's a bunch of us went fishing multiple times weekly every summer. We went a few times in the fall I always felt deeply unsettled every time I was there. 10 years ago found out some still unidentified bodies were found in French Creek. One I know of myself is a young woman late teens/early 20's found in the park 40+ yrs. ago. She is on the Doe Network also. That place has an evil vibe. Wonder what that land really was used for 100 years ago.
Great videos from my home state of PA. I believe the red mushroom that looks like a rotted brain is gyromitra esculenta or false morel, poisonous if consumed raw.
By the way, I looked at every single thing on the internet two years ago and again last year on every kind of purple mushroom but I have never been able to find anything that looked like the one I had found in the woods... it actually at first almost looked like a small round spongy purple ping pong size ball that was a little bit more and it had the bottom part which was really skinny.. actually kind of shriveled.. maybe it wasn't a mushroom but it sure had this sponginess... but there was not one mushroom in all the photos that looked like it.
Interesting. It looks old. The stories going around is that they have white carpet and look brand new and such. So this doesn't fit the legends but it's a good find and with some archaeology some answers may be found. It may have been some sort of park or something. I would say without a doubt there were buildings in the area at one point. I came here thinking this was another conspiracy or supernatural video but you have pleasantly surprised me. Great video.
I live about 10 mins from this park and have been there more times than I can count. It was an industrial complex in the 40’s. Then part of it became a resort. After it was closed it was designated as state park land and renovated. These steps are part of said complex. There is absolutely nothing of a sinister nature going on here. It is nowhere near remote as housing developments immediately surround it on all sides. Sorry, I know this info is not exciting or sexy but it’s fact. You won’t find this in a Missing 411 book. I’m saddened that this beautiful park may have been caught up in some crazy paranormal bs by this video.
It was built during FDR's presidency by the Civilian Conservation Corps and the swimming hole was abandoned in 1999. Apparently in the 90's an effort was started remove dams that were impeding natural river flows. It was controversial back then but is relatively common practice now. So it's been around for a while but was only recently given back to nature. It's amazing how man made structures can be so quickly reclaimed.
if at any point you would like to try to check out the quarry let me know. Im going to try to go there this summer. It is nicknamed Dier's Quarry and there has been several deaths there of cliffjumpers that do not know what they are doing and do not take appropriate safety precautions like I do whenever I am cliff jumping. I know of the best way to get in and best time from people to not get fined so if you would like to go at some point, feel free to DM me on instagram @jake_mryan
....fyi....just to the north of the old six penny lake along Giegertown road is a small cemetery that are buried Black soldiers that fought in the civil war and next to that is one of the oldest black African churches in berks co.
I have seen these stairs. When I started hearing about the people seeing steps in the woods I thought they were different. These were built but never were in a. house and never had carpet etc.
I remember camping in French Creek State Park as a kid back in the 70s. Is it possible those stairs led to the Fire Tower that was once in the park. Is the Fire Tower still there? Just curious.
When I was there in about 98' it was summer, and kind of cold down there. and Thousands of Frog faces in little egg bubbles all around the sides of the lake. or was it the other lake? there is one with a runoff ditch to the left there.
OH, I TAKE IT BACK.THERE IS A VERY LARGE STAIRCASE - @ MIN 5:15.......but there are also walls, etc. indicating buildings (as mentioned below/sanguine cynic)................cheers!
you seem you like hiking and just wait to find what you find... there are some remnants of the canals down in palmerton.. which you can get to with a jeep... if you are inclined let me know and i will take you to them
Multiple people have died in this park. 2 divers in quarry. 2 suidides in quarry. 1 heart attack in the main park. 1 suicide by co2 poisoning in car. 2 cold cases from 1960's and just recently a 25 year old woman fell to her death at the quarry. Its a strange area for death.
Tommie Fisher I know one of the cold cases was related to a ring of car thefts, teens would steal cars, strip them and then push them off the cliff into the water. In one of those incidents the guy allegedly got snagged on the car as they were pushing it and went over the cliff with it, all the others involved stayed tight lipped because of the involvement in illegal car theft ring. As for the divers, rumor has it that their life line rope was deliberately cut while they were under the ice and they could not get back out, very creepy.
Hey guy, don't know if you still get hits or read your comments. I came across someone saying they seen something@7:05. bro, i seen it plain as day! i am a total skeptic on this shit, but i 100% seen it. without a doubt! i love about 40 mins from this area, in Parkesburg,Pa.. There is some awesome places to hike and quite a few abandoned houses to explore. one mansion specifically that will have you shitting your pants! If your into that type of thing? It can be a lot of fun as long as you abide by safety precautions and follow the local laws, not to add respecting people's property. very important! If you are interested hit me up on your page here. I should get it! If not I really enjoyed your video. thanx!

this is a hidden gem, never knew anything like this....wish History Channel on cable tv would do stuff like this....

Dyer's Quarry. I used to swim in it several decades ago.
Thats an old waterpark started around 1913 and closed in the early 1980s because of Geese n it became unsanitary to swim. It used to be a huge lake drained down to a small pond. It was feed by a natural spring. It also hsd two huge bath houses and pucnic areas. It was called Six Penny.

I can't believe how much PA has changed since I was a kid. Places that I remember just don't look the same anymore.
This is SO cool!

cool stuff! you could google earth it to see whats there?...the quarry i mean. ty for the video!
stairs in the woods, muddy trail at the bottom of the stairs, no leaves on the trail well it not on the map but it looks well used for something.
why was there a trail to the stairs but nothing at the top of the stairs- i think you found a porthole to travel back in time maybe.
Is this in PA? It looks very similar to the woods in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area
I thought the same thing.
Its part of French creek state park in berks county.
There is water in the quarry. It's a very beautiful place.
How do u gett there
@@oxygenlung it's not open to the public and there's a good chance that you'll encounter state game.
Very nice 👍
My neighbor in CT had a dam and pond like that. You just slide 2x6 boards in to raise the water level. We used to pull one out and rum downstream to watch the water rush down.
Beautiful dam, and those old stair cases, something there a long while ago. It would be a very loud beaver
It's a old old farm that had an irrigation system. Town records will have the history
I would suspect if there was a dam and the stone wall that there probably was a small wood house that they took away. Usually someone lived where they built a dam. I would suspect since this land is part of a park the state of Feds bought the land and they remove any dwellings. Very common where I live. They control the waterways almost nationwide.
You can live near but they own the waterways.
good vid...got the whole place to yourself....ive seen those stairs a few times on one of my fb pages, abandoned pa....about 11/2 yrs ago...a few of the members did alot of pics while hiking..looks like a pretty nice place up there
Wow! We found some cool stuff at Mingo State park in Washington County PA, but picked up so many ticks, scared to go back.
That reminds me of Alonzo F. Bonsall Bird Sanctuary in northern NJ. Not that big, but there's a lot of really weird and senseless structures there, also underground tunnels. We used to drink there at night in the 80s. One time, and I have no idea how this happened, we got lost in there for 4 hours despite knowing the place really well and it not being a big place at all. Alonzo is in either Clifton or Bloomfield or right on the border. You park on a regular suburban street and take a path that goes directly between 2 houses to get inside. I think the street is Alexander Ave. but it's been YEARS since I been there.
No way. I just looked at Google maps 40.850089, -74.187913 and there's only a tiny piece of it left. It used to be the whole area between Alexander Ave. and Chittenden but they built a whole mess of new streets. Oh well. If you DO decide to check it out I wouldn't stick to any of the paths, that is, if you want to find something weird.
that staircase is awesome!
Be very careful in state parks, people go missing and are never found or are found days later in areas that have already been searched.
Some of the places had "devil" in the name of the place.
Stay safe and take a good gps.
with you.
Michelle Lyon yes, u r right after having read so much abt it from David Paulides!
Wrong! Nothing dangerous about state parks. Sad! #WeAre
David over sells his stories, and flat out is inaccurate at times. Do your own research to confirm anything he says.
Its easy to slip or trip. Its easy to fall over and bang your head & that alone can kill you, or leave you confused, disorientated or brain injured & unable to find your way, or even move. Just getting dehydrated can put you into a very disadvantaged state, it can cause disorientation, confusion, paranoia, exhaustion. If you are on your own you could easily die with no intervention from anything paranormal. Travel in small groups, with people you know well.
When we hiked the pinicle trail in PA there was a paved road that took you to the top of the mountain where there was an observatory.
Beautiful spot
where did you get your maps
My dude, if I see Goddamn STONE stairs in the middle of the damn woods.
I'm goddamn booking it out of them woods.
awesome leaf fall
I thought for sure when you went off trail that you were going to get lost and take off your shoes.. 😂
i grew up near there, that used to be six penny lake. it was the swimming hole before the pool was built over next to hopewell lake.
Just a quick heads up man , there's a lot of bazaar unexplainable dissapearances going on in National Parks and forests . I wouldn't recommend going out hiking alone at all due to the fact that people vanish right under the noses of others . But if you must I would recommend carrying a personal transponder and a firearm. If you want to know more search up Missing 411 I'm positive youll be baffled . Something not normal is going on , and it's not related to human abductions getting lost or wildlife. These people are vanishing under circumstances unknown. There's currently 58 clusters in the us alone. Yosemite National Park having the largest cluster of missing people. What's scary is blood hounds cannot pick up a scent. People end up miles and miles away over mountain ranges in record time . It's very strange I wont get into all of it , but there's something taking people that is beyond our normal logical understanding. Just a heads up man , I really recommend you look into Missing 411 by David Paulidis. And stay safe !
It's the staircases... Nothing good ever comes from them..
I do believe that area the woods were your at could possibly be the location of the Old Hunt Club that was there many many moons ago they had about that same Stone staircase and the walls I'm seeing on your video and it reminded me of the big hotel that used to have there for the Hunt Club I think the only thing left there's Foundation if you could locate it... I thought about it and then when you found the pond then they really started bringing back the memory of the Old Hunt Club that was out in the National Park... I'm thinking is in the early nineteen hundreds or the late 18 hundreds somewhere in there.... Be blessed...BBE..
Went camping and hunting at French Creek in 1996, haven't been back since, I go to Blue Rocks campground, family owned, State parks are cheaper but a pain in the ass, too many restrictions, years ago Pennsylvania State campgrounds were first come, first served, as you know, now, a reservation is needed, BR is in upper Berks county, wonder what those steps you found were for?
Apocyl Doomer - I live 1 mile from there. The steps led to showers & changing room. arsonist burned it down about 20 or so years ago.
I was there a couple of weeks ago !
Very interesting and strange....makes you wonder why they aren't marked....are they hoping you don't find them
origrockart No, it’s just not open to the public for safety reasons. That’s it and that’s all.
As teenagers in the late 70's into the 80's a bunch of us went fishing multiple times weekly every summer. We went a few times in the fall I always felt deeply unsettled every time I was there. 10 years ago found out some still unidentified bodies were found in French Creek. One I know of myself is a young woman late teens/early 20's found in the park 40+ yrs. ago. She is on the Doe Network also. That place has an evil vibe. Wonder what that land really was used for 100 years ago.
Great videos from my home state of PA. I believe the red mushroom that looks like a rotted brain is gyromitra esculenta or false morel, poisonous if consumed raw.
By the way, I looked at every single thing on the internet two years ago and again last year on every kind of purple mushroom but I have never been able to find anything that looked like the one I had found in the woods... it actually at first almost looked like a small round spongy purple ping pong size ball that was a little bit more and it had the bottom part which was really skinny.. actually kind of shriveled.. maybe it wasn't a mushroom but it sure had this sponginess... but there was not one mushroom in all the photos that looked like it.
Interesting. It looks old. The stories going around is that they have white carpet and look brand new and such. So this doesn't fit the legends but it's a good find and with some archaeology some answers may be found. It may have been some sort of park or something. I would say without a doubt there were buildings in the area at one point. I came here thinking this was another conspiracy or supernatural video but you have pleasantly surprised me. Great video.
I lived in French Creek State Park for almost a year I was in B Loop
I live about 10 mins from this park and have been there more times than I can count. It was an industrial complex in the 40’s. Then part of it became a resort. After it was closed it was designated as state park land and renovated. These steps are part of said complex. There is absolutely nothing of a sinister nature going on here. It is nowhere near remote as housing developments immediately surround it on all sides. Sorry, I know this info is not exciting or sexy but it’s fact. You won’t find this in a Missing 411 book. I’m saddened that this beautiful park may have been caught up in some crazy paranormal bs by this video.
You must take a hiking partner with you so you won't be alone if something ever happens.
Woodpecker! Adorable.
That would be a good place to take a metal detector. What state and town is this?
looks like what they used to control the level of the dam they took out instead of destroying the whole dam
Pretty.
Might those mushrooms at the base of the tree be what is called "Laughing Jim"?
they could be
Great horse trail if allowed
you know how old these ruins are? that staircase is very mysterious
It was built during FDR's presidency by the Civilian Conservation Corps and the swimming hole was abandoned in 1999. Apparently in the 90's an effort was started remove dams that were impeding natural river flows. It was controversial back then but is relatively common practice now. So it's been around for a while but was only recently given back to nature. It's amazing how man made structures can be so quickly reclaimed.
if at any point you would like to try to check out the quarry let me know. Im going to try to go there this summer. It is nicknamed Dier's Quarry and there has been several deaths there of cliffjumpers that do not know what they are doing and do not take appropriate safety precautions like I do whenever I am cliff jumping. I know of the best way to get in and best time from people to not get fined so if you would like to go at some point, feel free to DM me on instagram @jake_mryan
....fyi....just to the north of the old six penny lake along Giegertown road is a small cemetery that are buried Black soldiers that fought in the civil war and next to that is one of the oldest black African churches in berks co.
Would of had a metal detector with me, what a nice area
I have seen these stairs. When I started hearing about the people seeing steps in the woods I thought they were different. These were built but never were in a. house and never had carpet etc.
I remember camping in French Creek State Park as a kid back in the 70s. Is it possible those stairs led to the Fire Tower that was once in the park. Is the Fire Tower still there? Just curious.
We are going this Sun-tues. What are must see trails? Any falls?
When I was there in about 98' it was summer, and kind of cold down there. and Thousands of Frog faces in little egg bubbles all around the sides of the lake. or was it the other lake? there is one with a runoff ditch to the left there.
OH, I TAKE IT BACK.THERE IS A VERY LARGE STAIRCASE - @ MIN 5:15.......but there are also walls, etc. indicating buildings (as mentioned below/sanguine cynic)................cheers!
NC MOUNTAINS ❤.👍
nice hike tho. thumbs up
Wow! Did you ever find out about it?
you seem you like hiking and just wait to find what you find... there are some remnants of the canals down in palmerton.. which you can get to with a jeep... if you are inclined let me know and i will take you to them
Around 13:35 is when I would have NOPEd out and headed back to the car, constantly looking over my shoulders at the fog
Cool vid bud
Multiple people have died in this park. 2 divers in quarry. 2 suidides in quarry. 1 heart attack in the main park. 1 suicide by co2 poisoning in car. 2 cold cases from 1960's and just recently a 25 year old woman fell to her death at the quarry. Its a strange area for death.
Tommie Fisher I know one of the cold cases was related to a ring of car thefts, teens would steal cars, strip them and then push them off the cliff into the water. In one of those incidents the guy allegedly got snagged on the car as they were pushing it and went over the cliff with it, all the others involved stayed tight lipped because of the involvement in illegal car theft ring. As for the divers, rumor has it that their life line rope was deliberately cut while they were under the ice and they could not get back out, very creepy.
Hey guy, don't know if you still get hits or read your comments. I came across someone saying they seen something@7:05. bro, i seen it plain as day! i am a total skeptic on this shit, but i 100% seen it. without a doubt! i love about 40 mins from this area, in Parkesburg,Pa.. There is some awesome places to hike and quite a few abandoned houses to explore. one mansion specifically that will have you shitting your pants! If your into that type of thing? It can be a lot of fun as long as you abide by safety precautions and follow the local laws, not to add respecting people's property. very important! If you are interested hit me up on your page here. I should get it! If not I really enjoyed your video. thanx!
"Missing 411"
bradyspace i'm hooked on those videos! Been watching them for two days.
Some of those and other stories are so fucking scary the deep woods are trip.
