As a life long resident of Pennsylvania and a retiree of Mine Safety Appliances, I’m pretty familiar with coal miners and their equipment. At MSA, I worked for a few years in the first manufacturing department the company had; making miners batteries, the headlamps for them and all of the internal parts for them. We thought a lot about doing it right as people’s lives depended on it. One of our teammates husband started out in a mine near Cheswick.
My ancestors were immigrant coal miners in Coaldale - about 90 miles N of Philly- they called it The Hole- one brother was a pipe fitter. Another was a bottom man - who did the dangerous work of building out the new shafts- he was killed in WW2 - they were fearless men - knowing every day they might be coming home in a body bag. I’m reading their letters now from 90 years ago, they make me cry…especially when I see these tunnels… brave & fearless….😢
I don't know if guys notice, it looks more like this tunnels are actually purposely blocked. One part I was watching there was no way that pile of stone came from the ceiling!!! Around 3:44 minutes in!!! That pile of stone didn't collapse, it was stacked there!!! Awesome video!! Keep up the great work!!👍💪
As children in NE PA northeast of Scranton we would explore the old mines especially in the summer they were nice and cool we found a half case of dynamite, lmao I'll never forget the look on my father's face when he found us in the garage trying to find a way to set it off,it was the only time I ever saw the color drain from his face. The dynamite was very old we tried burning it dropping heavy weight on it shooting it with deer rifels nothing works. I guess that old adage God watches out after fools and children is true . Great video
Hey Dweller Brother..Best COntnet Evr!! i NEed to get to a tripwith you allone day ..!! Im close..anyway,,Thankx for the vids! I miss the ole PA pplaces its been so long since Lost house out strippins .In Highland,,,Freeland... Stay safe ! God bless
That is a lot of tunneling throughout appalachian, people make a living in those working long time ago, they worked hard as any kind of mining, coal is treacherous! Thank for sharing!
I'm gonna look into some full body self containment suit so we can send you into some of those really nasty mucky spots that we all wanna know WHATS BACK THERE!!! Lol, awesome video man!
That object you were asking about at around the 8 minute mark was a lifting bar for moving an oil tank when it's on a wheeled skid. Much like what is used for a portable waste container when dumping an RV and hauling the ugly water to the dump station. Some have a loop at the end that you can drop over a trailer hitch ball.
I must have the explorer jean in me because I couldn't stay out when I found a place like this! I found a lot of places in Pennsylvania to explore when I lived there. Kinda like lived in the oil capital, around Oil city, PA. Thanks for the memories guys. I am kinda too old for exploring now.
I grew up in Warren, PA and never knew there was stuff like this around. Maybe not in NW Pa, but there certainly was a lot of mining activity in other areas.
The Tunnels of Hell Firstly, their are five main themes to Hell. And each theme can be identified by the walls that you are surrounded by. Furthermore, the first theme of Hell is the Cathedral. And that is the surface. In addition, the next theme of Hell is the Catacombs. And that is an underground bricked bone storage and religious prison area. In addition, the third theme of Hell is the Caves. And they are any kind of cave system that runs down to around 3-4 kilometres deep. In addition, the deeper theme of Hell is the Tunnels. And Hell Tunnels are full of meat and oversized bones. Lastly, the final theme of Hell is the Burning Pits and that is where you can find hot lava. Next, in the movie called "The Decent" the cave explorers enter the Tunnels of Hell. And down their are the Dragon Worms and the Dragon Kin. Furthermore, the Tunnels of Hell are very simple to explain. For example, when a person falls down in to Hell Caves or Tunnels they sometimes can not get back out. Therefore, when your stuck in Hell you can eat dirt and mud. And that actually grows us until we are 1-10 tonne in body weight. We also look like a Dragon at 5-10 tonne. Therefore, when we die in Hell we leave behind 1-10 tonne of meat. We also reproduce at these heavy body weights and produce some really strange looking dependants called Dragon Kin.

Great size opening to get in and the huge size of those timbers holding the roof in place ! They built some nice walls and rooms ! Decent size mine to get around in , one of the better ones you've shown us so far ! Thanks and stay safe !! Have you ever toured the Lansford Pa mine ? I saw a thing on the news the other day, looked really interesting !!
@@AnthraciteHorrorStories I've seen the Coal pillars in other video's, but in this video there were coal seems in the walls. Would that have been for support as well?
Obviously there is much dust and mist in the air in such places. Do you ever have that debris get into your nose and mouth? Wondering if it gets in your nose and stops you up from breathing through your nose. Thumbs Up!
So has that water significantly risen and flooded other sections of the mine or is that a reservoir that the water is meant to collect within? Also this may be a dumb question but was the water pulled out and up or drained down through the piping?
Just to let you know , there are payfree Handy Apps exist for using Handycameras with night Vision and also thermalcam , discovering a different Heat Inside a wall or Inside a bottom ables to riddle what's behind ... 👷🧔
Who needs level ceilings when you can carve slanted ones through solid rock? The barrel was rum. They got so drunk, they couldn't cut a straight ceiling! (lol) Just kidding. Obviously, the entire "mine" has just tipped over after all these years.
@@theresa_lili this is just 1 extra layer of deterrence. If you're so concerned about it, you can make videos and show everyone the locations yourself...

I love this channel. Thank you.

Really cool guys. Where is this location?
I work in Quarry, the Old Popples in Laflin and we dig up Gangways lot of times
Thanks man. Its a lot closer than you think.
I was always curious if you guys ran into the old workings there.
I love watching these videos and your explanation about the things you encounter.

The lightbulb you discovered IS a clue that the ceiling was electric wired , 🤓 once again - nice Video ! Thank you !
Fab vid guys thanks from not so sunny england
All right ....can hear you phil🎉🎉

Uhhhh..... hmmm. Wow!
That's probably where they stored explosives
great explore , !
Just by the size and stability of that muleway/manway, I knew this was going to be a big one. That vein is absolutely massive.
Hell yeah ⛏️🪨🤘
What's the weirdness on the screen at 1:11?
Great content...
What’s is blurred out at the beginning?
What did you cover up with pixels early in this video?
Very Cool 😎 the person that wrote the date on the wall might see this video, From: Scranton, Pennsylvania

I saw a thing on the news the other day, looked really interesting !!
Thanks man! No I haven't been to Lansford, but that internal shaft looks pretty interesting. Maybe one day I'll check it out
Cool what kind of land marks do u use to find Ur way out of these mines? Did u ever get lost?
Ironically I got lost in this one a few years ago. Now I do leave markers when things get confusing
@@AmazingPennsylvania Yes becareful
I'm Always Hoping they Find either an Old stash of Gold...or an Unknown Creature. Or Better yet, an Unknown Creature guarding an Old Stash of Gold....
What a way to make a living. They literally have offices down there. I'm willing to bet a lot of those men felt more at home there than above ground.
A little confused, what was blurred out when you turned back to look up the tunnel?
Just the entrance we came in. Nothing interesting
@@AmazingPennsylvaniaSo why blur it?
@@theresa_lili Safety issue so people don't possibly go out and find it
What's the idea and meaning of the scrambled part in the mine at the beginning? So we don't see it was made somewhere else?
that giant coal vein might be part of the mammout vien that you can see on the pioneer tunnel tour in ashland
Good video
Some of those mines in Hot springs Arkansas produce some of the best sharpening stones in the world. Just a point of interest.
This is how i know its saturday lol
Why censored that portal
Silly when there's maps of the location of all mines.
Because people would go to these places and wreck 'em...
Looks like a 55 gallon barrel on blocks. Gas possibly? I'd like to know as well.
In many of your video's, there seems to be A LOT of coal left behind. Does anyone know why that is??
@@AnthraciteHorrorStories I've seen the Coal pillars in other video's, but in this video there were coal seems in the walls. Would that have been for support as well?
@@AnthraciteHorrorStories Thanks for the great info!
Obviously there is much dust and mist in the air in such places. Do you ever have that debris get into your nose and mouth? Wondering if it gets in your nose and stops you up from breathing through your nose. Thumbs Up!
It sucks that those masonry walls will outlast most new buildings today.. ..no tufu construction then..
Super duper sketchy🎉🎉🎉
What gets me is how much coal they left behind. Also, it would be nifty if someone could figure out how to use that red (orange) discharge.
@@AnthraciteHorrorStorieswhat’s the orange stuff he’s talking abt?
@@jimmylarge1148AMD (acid mine drainage)
EPCAMR has teamed up with a company that turns the AMD into paint for artists.
So has that water significantly risen and flooded other sections of the mine or is that a reservoir that the water is meant to collect within? Also this may be a dumb question but was the water pulled out and up or drained down through the piping?
Yeah they definitely pumped the water out when this mine was active. Now after being abandoned for 70 years all the lower levels are flooded
@@AmazingPennsylvania how much further down do you suppose was worked?
@justinbowen7083 Probably just one, possibly 2 levels. There's no vertical shaft elevators in this mine so I can't see it going much deeper
@@AmazingPennsylvania 🤿🏊
@@AnthraciteHorrorStories You just love large shafts...
How did they transport the coal ? I see know rails
All the rails are either buried now or they were pulled out for scrap metal

That was a crazy huge coal seam! Thanks for sharing more mine porn⛏️cheers🍻

Ever find artifacts?
Yeah mostly old mining tools and supply parts
Dumbs and trafficking tunnels world wide on the laylines
Old 40 watt 💡
NICE high coal!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks brother!!!!!!!!@@AnthraciteHorrorStories
You are wrong about it being an office
Then what was it?
AT 14:33 your buddy was under what we call a man killer.
Yeah watching that back it's friggin scary
@1:11 you blotted out the center of the video, what's up with that? 👩 from: Scranton, Pennsylvania
Bigger mines like this I don't like to show any daylight indicating where we came in from
Oh, I see 👩
No need, when there are maps to all the old mines.
@@theresa_lili this is just 1 extra layer of deterrence. If you're so concerned about it, you can make videos and show everyone the locations yourself...
@@fleshbag7754 aren't you a peach
This video ruined at @1:10 by censorship, Downvoted yet again for making it harder to find these places than it already is.
The whole video is useless, I wanna see the pixelated part
You sound like.. too young to be exploring underground..
@@fleshbag7754 yeah
With flesh in the bag Come on a roller coaster ride.
