Disturbing Basement OFF LIMITS For Good Reason

[@milemarker_oscar_mike]

Cockroaches are notorious for living in sewers and sewer pipes and survive on an unlimited supply of decaying matter in those nasty places. The bricked off archway with cockroaches pouring out through the wall almost looked like a manway portal in a sewer system. Thanks for laying it on the line and bringing us along for the ride.

[@AmazingPennsylvania]

Yep and it smelled pretty bad too

A little Lackawana Coal & Steel sludge! I remember when I first started boating on the West Branch of the Susquehanna in Lock Haven the mine acid from the local coal strippings would literally remove the galvanized coating from the transom of our boats. There was NO plant life in the river here. Amazingly the river is now home to many fish and an abundance of river grass. Almost too much!

La Pulita Chemical Company was located in Scranton, PA, and Old Forge, PA. They were around from about 1924 to the late 1940's (or maybe later). They manufactured soap and perfume.

[@tomh4591]

Lol me too. Nost of this seems more modern made as typical coal mines. But i noticed a few spots here and there that appeared to be unusually large blocks " " that were out of place not the smaller bricked up columns or doorways. If anything this looks more like the theory of these caves having been ancient oetrified trees, the big boys like hangman1128 talks about. The coal being burnt wood, the quartz and gold and minerals being its sap...the carved caves essentially digging out where its roots once were before the fire and brimstone and flooding...

[@AnthraciteHorrorStories]

The mob dumped a lot of chemicals and oils into a particular mine here called the Butler. Anthracite coal mines that is. There's like 100,000 gallons of potassium cyanide still down there so I've read. It was a federal superfund site. They pumped over 6 million gallons of oil down an old vertical air ventilation borehole. Look that story up.

Just think if y'all had some little drill, or like what I have, one of those little 25 foot tiny cable with a camera at the end like they can look in drain pipes behind the wall. Has a little computer with monitor on it. Could drill small hole and snake the camera cable thru to see what's behind some of those walls. Those types of bugs like rotting flesh, so no telling what kind of sinister secrets may be buried deep underground.

There seems to be A LOT of Iron Oxide around. Maybe from the Cast Iron pipes? as well as the surrounding Rock Ore. But the one thing is there's a lot of is; moisture. I'd even venture there's a body of water above, or some deteriorated main water pipe source that is saturating that area. Seemed to be loads of sediment rather than slow-seeping mineral deposits in the tunnels. Plus I think there must definitely be a food source for the cockroaches behind that brick archway. They were congregated in a a nest behind it. I wonder if the Hotel's basement foundations were founded by an old Iron mine? Could be a passage into the very lower levels of the hotel building structure behind those bricks? So many questions and wonders!

Love your work. Stay out. Well that sort of goes without saying with this one. Enjoy many of your videos. I would rather watch someone do this right than do it wrong myself anyway. Can’t thank you enough for every great video you make. I have watched many. Keep up the great work. Stay safe.

Cockroaches bug me the most. The construction of that archway reminds me of very early sewers, rain water and otherwise.

Joseph Raab Park There was small hole that took you down to a bigger room and has another room below you take a ladder to Have you ever heard of this, also there’s lots of local stories around York, PA of tunnels that go for miles with different entrances, including one entrance at the York hospital. My mom would talk about where she worked.
