> [@Vrooom](#): > > Wasn’t the movie Silent Hill inspired by that place? YES! it was, but the inspiration stops at originally there were some spots in the town, which now deserted that rained down ashes, like snow. That is where the basis for the game began. ---

> **[Centralia, Pennsylvania](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centralia,_Pennsylvania)** > > Centralia is a borough and near-ghost town in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, United States. Its population has dwindled from more than 1,000 residents in 1980 to 63 by 1990, to only seven in 2013—a result of the coal mine fire which has been burning beneath the borough since 1962. Centralia, which is part of the Bloomsburg–Berwick metropolitan area, is the least-populated municipality in Pennsylvania. It is completely surrounded by Conyngham Township. All real estate in the borough was claimed un... Interesting. I had no idea this even existed. ---

wow, are buildings still “in tact” there? Does it look like an abandon town or is it basically all leveled with the cracked roads? Is it easily accessible/police guarded? ---

> [@ProgRocker](#): > > wow, are buildings still “in tact” there? Does it look like an abandon town or is it basically all leveled with the cracked roads? Is it easily accessible/police guarded? still some major roads that go through the town no police etc the road i took pictures of is definetly the worst, and it used to be the main road that is now blocked off a couple crazy people still live there but for the most part you see a bunch of abandoned streets and foundations where houses used to be, its not that big of a town and if you didnt know about it you’d drive right through it without even noticing it ---
