The Haunting in Gettysburg, and Centralia (Silent Hill)

#trending Gettysburg #ghosthunters #ghost #ghosttown #paranormal #haunted #urbex #exploring Inn at Lincoln Square is one of 4 buildings in the center of town that have been there since before the civil war & the infamous battle of Gettysburg. It was used as a field hospital and reports state that bodies were piled in the basement from the floor to the ceiling. Check out our investigation. Then we take a day trip to Centralia, PA (Silent Hill). Once a blossoming town of 2700 residents, now a ghost town left to burn from the ground below.

[@JasonHawes]

Not every case yields activity. We look forward to getting back here in the future when it's a slower time.

[@JOE90.]

iI find every episode that you do very informative in every way. i love the way you guys work together. just a question for you. have you ever done a night investigation on the main battle field.

[@ogenevieve]

Yeah, as you know, it definitely helps if you can stay for a few days.

[@glenashworth9550]

Give the guys credit. At least these guys DO NOT fake it. Or see things that are not there .

[@glenashworth9550]

I learned ALOT watching GH and GHI.

[@Bintexas]

If you claimed otherwise, like some investigators have, it would destroy your credibility, imo. Keeping it real makes your channel worth watching.

[@chasitymorris5258]

I can't wait! I'd like to see you and your old team get together and do a couple of investigations! Maybe at some of the old active locations.

[@s.s.2633]

The "old" team is history. They have moved on. How about new? Watch reruns if you want old.

[@emmymac71]

Love these investigations without all the “network noise”. Love the simplicity of just 2 investigators. Keep em’ coming 🙂

[@paranormalrealitytv]

Thank you. That's what we love too! - JV

[@Concetta20]

Yes! No more silly, “spooky” background music during the investigation.

[@Nanci-Griffin]

I love hearing the history behind the houses.

[@danhealey5417]

yes i like that also

[@paranormalrealitytv]

We enjoy telling the stories as much as the investigation! - JV

[@LaurieCaruth]

I’m so glad you visited Centralia. As a kid, my family owned a cabin in Clinto County PA. We would drive through Centralia to get to the cabin. I remember watching it deteriorate over the years until one day, we couldn’t drive through it anymore. It’s very sad.

[@pegjohnson4967]

I was 4 years old when the fire started. We would go down through Centralia to visit relatives. You could actually see the smoke.

[@paranormalrealitytv]

Such a sad story. - JV

[@Jami-Frankie]

I was an avid viewer of the original GH. As the years went by with the different paranormal shows, I was so put off my the fake theatrics and demon stuff. Great job you two! 👏👏👻

[@paranormalrealitytv]

Thank you for the kind words!!! - JV

[@loriwade5368]

Jason, I consider you to be my model of what an investigator should be. I learned by watching you. I love these investigations that are just raw. No network added eerie music or sound effects. People, I've now been doing this for 15 yrs. and this is what it really looks like.

[@InnocentPotato-pd7wi]

Qestern Marylander here! I love visiting Gettysburg! Also Sharpsburg, Maryland/ Antietam Battlefield . Antietam September 17,1862 was the single bloodiest one day battle of the Civil War. 23,000 causality on a single day! What many people don't know us that 8 women, 7 fought for the UNION.Two as young as 15 years of age. A dead Confederate woman was found on the Cornfield by a Massachusetts Burial party! Burnside Bridge is very haunted ! Bloody Lane and the Cornfield and the West Woods are all very active! Former Democrat Governor William Do b als Schafer made sure that the land around Antietam would be preserved from development.Thank God! Every December ,23,000 luminary bags are placed on the battlefield! To remember the fallen! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

[@rubysmith8818]

I was thinking the same thing - that Sharpsburg is well preserved, while Gettysburg is so commercial. I've been to the Antietam luminary display twice and I highly recommend!

[@d.r.4453]

Gettsyburg is one of the best preserved civil war battlefields in my opinion. The battlefield itself is not at all commercial but very well protected and they are constantly making it more authentic via research. Little Round Top just opened up again to visitors after a lengthy restoration and they did an amazing job on it. The town has lots of options for vistors in terms of eating establishments and places to stay. I like Antietam and it is well worth the visit for Civil War buffs, but between the two I think Gettysburg has far more to offer for visitors. Glad both are protected!

[@Pro-Deo]

@InnocentPotato-pd7wi all of Gettysburg is haunted and alive with paranormal activity. there exists no one place more haunted than another, it's everywhere there. but it's everywhere we who are living dwell too. no place is immune.

[@dannatoepper4353]

Jason truest form of old school investigating , and no fake or exaggeration with Jason !!!

[@glenashworth9550]

A ghost You Tube video that doesn't use the word demon

[@AlicesGlass9]

That has to be one of the most irritating things about most channels.

[@paranormalrealitytv]

It's a mixed bag...to get the numbers you have to use shock words. We would rather keep it real & genuine. - JV

[@RealTrashPanda]

@@paranormalrealitytv much appreciated

[@DavidSampson-tk1oz]

Jason, what I love about your videos, is that there isn't always spirit activity or paranormal occurrences. It shows that you and your team are not hoaxers. Keep up the good work! Stay safe.

[@megp7166]

Replay crew. I can’t say it enough but thank you for doing this for us! ❤

[@paranormalrealitytv]

Thank you for supporting this adventure!!! - JV

[@TiredNSleuthing]

At the timestamp 8:29 when Jason missed the step a woman is humming. Almost sing song like. I don’t think yall caught it because it’s right when you tell him u missed the step. I rewatched that portion with my headphones on like 5 times. It’s definitely someone singing.

[@paranormalrealitytv]

Great catch! - JV

[@TiredNSleuthing]

@@paranormalrealitytv thank you! She is either humming or singing. ❤️

[@MummyBrown]

I heard that too! I thought it was all in my head

[@AnnMarieAlmeida-tv2hn]

When Jason gives a history before the investigation gives me Rod Serling vibes from the 1960's Twilight Zone 😊

[@KristyLeveillee]

At 13:15 or so, after JV asks if someone wants to play ball with you, I hear a deep voiced ‘no’.

[@paranormalrealitytv]

Nice catch! - JV

[@OldSpiritsInvestigations]

In all seriousness, Jason, we are totally in your camp - November through February (with maybe parts of March) is PEAK time to visit. And the EVPs we brought back were mind-blowing!

[@heathermanning5368]

The cinder block jump scare! Lol! 😂

[@tindraerikssonpasic]

Yay. A new episode. Let’s go!

[@slayet2ville1]

Great episode👌🏻 thanks for taking the time to show us the town and telling us the history, when you return you should bring some child toys as trigger objects like they did on GH

[@TamiMarieSiers]

I live just outside of Gettysburg. Grew up here. Many of the old houses around here have spirits.

[@Curlyqueenv]

Jason, I’ve been watching you since a kid. Thank you for continuing this amazing hobby.

[@KyaFeaster]

Love you guys I miss the old team😭💕 much love from Indiana❤️❤️

[@doloresm7396]

This was a surprise to find you again after all of these years. Now you're in my neck of the woods. Gettysburg is gorgeous, my sister wanted to move there years back so I was checking out houses with her going into basements (flooded mostly) climbing down rotten staircases into wet, dank, cold cellars. I could feel the history in these homes. I also retired 5 miles away from Centralia 13 years ago. Glad you're back, we always watched TAPS until you stopped your programming. I thought your name sounded familiar. Someone is shocked at the garbage left in Centralia, you can find garbage all over this county strewn about this is how it is here. It's changing since I moved here, slowly. By that I mean it's getting better than when I first moved here from Philly.

[@kaylee_raines]

Jason I love seeing how unhinged you are. 😂 Your Lord’s Prayer moment had me laughing so hard. Haha

[@amphimixis]

Fantastic work. This is a rational, thoughtful investigation. No stupid spirit boxes, no freakouts, no dust or cobweb orbs, just two professionals doing a ghost hunt. More please!

[@Lacey1027]

11:34 okay I watched it a bunch and the door on the right that was cracked open already was slowing opening as Jason was going closer, at first I figured it was the camera angel it wasnt. 😮 you can absolutely see it push out so slow!

[@paranormalrealitytv]

Nice catch! - JV

[@Concetta20]

“Jimmy Stewart”. 😆😆😆😆 Oh, my gosh! He would’ve made a great Lincoln! And the break for cinderblock history made me happy. I actually learned something new.

[@paranormalrealitytv]

Thanks for your kind words & support! - JV

[@faithbaker8233]

I love when Gettysburg is checked for paranormal. My 4 time great mother was Belle (Isabelle) Gettys. She was the daughter of William . Her uncles James set up the town. One piece of info is that after the war the government claimed imminent domain over a lot of land. A lot of family moved out of the area because of this situation. That little bit of information is not made wildly public. I’ve seen it mentioned once in an article but the way it’s worded sounds like it was no big deal. Oh when they came to USA their name was Gettis.love you show!

[@paranormalrealitytv]

Thanks for the info! Interesting!! - JV

[@j.d.peterson4956]

Great video. Very entertaining. ;-) Thank you for speaking out about the trash dumping! IT IS NOT OKAY!! I don't understand people - littering streets and highways too. Put trash in it's place folks. The Earth is not your trash dump.

[@paranormalrealitytv]

YES! - JV

[@earlward4334]

HOW SAD HOW PEOPLE HAVE DUMPED SO MUCH TRASH IN CENTRALIA

[@alanslade2319]

Great stuff cheers, you nearly finished the lord's prayer, four scores and 7 years ago, old money old ENGLAND.thank you both for putting a big smile on my face, and the history before we get going is great, thank you so much, and please take care of yourselves and see you soon Alan 🇺🇲🇬🇧💯👻👍👍

[@paranormalrealitytv]

Thanks, Alan! - JV

[@user-lq2is8fx8s]

Never disappointed!

[@JackiePena1970]

Wow, I’ve been by this place so many times. Must check it out on my next trip to Gettysburg.

[@ParanormalBrew]

I’ve spent my last 15 New Year’s Eve here. The inn has become my second home! Love it. I’ll be there this Friday!!!!

[@paranormalrealitytv]

It's such a great place. Thank YOU for setting it up for us!! - JV

[@lindaboggess7634]

I just started watching and I am mad I did not find the channel sooner! You two are hilarious! Keep up the good work!

[@paranormalrealitytv]

Luckily the videos will remain up so you can catch up on the investigations! - JV

[@karenmiller2642]

Thanks, guys, for the Centralia information. I've seen several videos and documentary's but love the way you explained it best. You weren't jumping from thing to thing, love it.

[@paranormalrealitytv]

Thank you. It was an unscheduled stop for us but we found it fascinating. - JV

[@leos.krashefski1458]

Really enjoy all the ball busting and laughter.

[@Mkocurek51914]

Another great investigation, gentlemen! I will tell you, I love the seriousness and the laughing and joking part as well. Keep up the great work.

[@sweetnada26]

JV: "That's a nice pear." Jason: "Whaaaaaat?" LOL

[@paranormalrealitytv]

hahahahahaha. It still makes me giggle. - JV

[@heathermanning5368]

Thanks for Sharing!!! 💜👻

[@metelgodful]

Cinder block was first used in the US in 1860 and also used in New York Staten Island in 1837 so cinder block came out way before the 1900s

[@pamelawooten3251]

Thanks Jason and JV. Really good episode.

[@paranormalrealitytv]

Thank YOU! - JV

[@pepper_strong]

Off the jump, why in tf do ppl have to dump garbage like that? Letting my personal emotions show, but that's ridiculous. And was there a shot of Japanese Knotweed growing on that land? Can't kill that stuff anywhere, obviously. As to your video investigations on KZbin? I love every single one so far. The free form, the jabs at each other, humor, and transparent nature. Really appreciate this more than network TV due to the freedom you have. Thank you both!

[@paranormalrealitytv]

Thank you so much for the kind words!! - JV

[@user-js8pl2ue4e]

Over the years I've been to Centralia many times. Only 1.5 hours from my home. Also Gettysburg is a place I'll never forget. As we went on a guided ghost tour in the building's and outside. We had some freaky excitement. J and JV thank you for doing this video in my home state...PA

[@paranormalrealitytv]

So much cool stuff in PA!!! - JV

[@MaryEvans-io3xw]

I visited the David Wills house in Gettysburg and captured a lady staring out the window and she was dressed in that era clothing..The house was where Lincoln finished revising the Gettysburg address and was also used for injured soldiers.I am assuming it might of been a nurse taking care of soldiers

[@bonniealt198]

That noise sounded like a wooden rocking chair on a wood floor.

[@TameraMcGee]

Love watching. Always a pleasure.❤

[@RuthShelton-ou4id]

At -- 35:34 -- you can heard the retun bang with the growl at the end. At -- 37:07 -- Listen very carefully -- you CAN hear a soft banging sound with a growl on the end.

[@JoshuaBarnett-d3l]

I love it when a paranormal team investigates a haunted train museum or train location in the United States or else where.

[@tammydownes2413]

Ive always wanted to go to Gettysburg. Im an older an older woman, with no friends, single and won't travel alone. So i watch all these videos living vicariously through you all. Lol Than you Jason for always being my guide, even when you were part of TAPS. God bless you and safe travels ❤

[@dreamcatcher3861]

Hello Jason and JV I love that you’re here on KZbin and doing little investigations! I’ve been a fan for years. I love that you are genuine and trust you above these silly kids who bring disrespect to the paranormal community. I’d like to make a few suggestions as a viewer if I may? When you’re doing investigations, would you be able to sit quietly in a room for a while instead of moving around and standing? There’s a lot of contamination from your footsteps in your episodes and I know you guys would understand that. A good idea at this place would have been, perhaps to sit quietly in the cellar and read the Gettysburg Address, then see if you got any phenomena. Trusted digital recorders would have been an idea too. I’m not criticising, I absolutely adore you guys, I just think sitting quietly, even if you don’t get evidence, would be better from a viewers perspective. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to your next episode. 🫶🏻

[@paranormalrealitytv]

Absolutely great suggestions. We do some of that, but much of it gets edited out because nothing happens. As I am sure you know, much paranormal investigation is eventless, and that doesn't make great KZbin entertainment. But I hear you, and we will definitely try to include more of that in our future episodes. Thanks for the comments and suggestions! - JV

[@susanwinchester544]

I just love how he is so “real” . Unfiltered and himself. Not acting like something he’s not. You guys ever need an intuitive/ sensitive I would LOVE to go on an investigation with you both! I think it it would be awesome!

[@jeanetteswalberg6166]

You should get in touch with Katrina Weidman. Her family is from Centralia. Her kin are buried in that cemetery.

[@MelissaEvans92]

Gettysburg is my favorite place!

[@paranormalrealitytv]

Mine too!!! - JV

[@TallyESports]

Hope you have a great week everyone! 👻

[@paulevans-bx2pz]

My moms cousin is the kid who fell into the hole in Centralia,he was playing with another cousin who told him hang on while he ran to get help,we went in 1986,we didn't hear any sounds and there wasn't all that garbage,the people never got a fair settlement from the government

[@dlm8926]

Bravo Jason! Always enjoy your work, the history, the paranormal content. You are THE legit ghost hunter. I've followed you since the earliest days of Ghost Hunters. Keep up the fantastic work. Love the 360 degree tours as well! Thank you for all you do!

[@freakshowfilmfestival3591]

Jason mentioned being on the square and that there could be outside voices, reminded me of The Whaley House. It's in "Old Town" and there is a restaurant across the street and it's a sidewalk width from a relatively busy street. Good Luck hunting there.

[@robsemple]

Jason great video you and JV crazy. I was waiting for a Drone Estes Method lol🤣👍CHEERS.🥃🍺

[@meghanhulbert7094]

Jason, I do have to say I so appreciate your interest in cement and your singing voice!!! Please keep that shit up. Awesome!!!!!

[@avengerindranil]

Too bad they discontinued AXN and GHOST HUNTERS in India...... good news is..... you're back with a bang on KZbin.....🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉.....huge fan..... respect.....

Looking forward to the January week. Very interesting 👍

[@paranormalrealitytv]

Yes. This location has much more to offer, we just need the time. - JV

[@LouiseWright-vg1uz]

Love the singing Jason 😅😅😅, you would look amazing in Annie's wig 😊😂 lol...!

[@2010njdevil]

This was a great reminder to me about how I've been wanting to visit Gettysburg. I view that any paranormal evidence as a remarkable link to this sad but remarkable time in history.......one that makes the bridge of history tangible.

[@Jami-Frankie]

I was an avid viewer of the original GH. As the years went by with the different paranormal shows, I was so put off by the fake theatrics and demon stuff. Great job you two! 👏👏👻

[@kathleenschaubhut4174]

Thanks for the tour of the Inn, for sharing humor, and also some of the history. (and facts on cinder blocks) 🙂

[@flowergirl7498]

Another great investigation! Absolutely love these investigations and the format. Also, all the comedic fun as well! Looking forward to when you both can go back. Pretty cool that JV can still bust out into the Gettysburg Address, nice try for Jason😂

[@sundaygolfer79]

I got stories about the triangle field. It's pretty wild

[@kathyklicker1586]

Nice pear. That was hilarious!

Sometimes we have too much fun. lol - JV

[@lkperfect6552]

It's fine to see the two of you having so much fun

[@rosie-ella76]

sorry about the stress you and your family and friends are going through. it all reminds me of someone with an alcohol problem. irrational, paranoid angry and lashing out. losing the plot. impossible to reason with or get any where near a resolution. saying that though, lots of similar traits in other mental health issues. only just found you again! really pleased to see youre still doing these . a solid, legitimate investigation and that baby sound!😮..i can imagine someone, maybe illegitimate baby out of wedlock, or loosing a baby, and they had a nursery ready for baby and couldn't stand to see the room anymore..maybe x

[@jetman101us]

Great! Now I have that Annie song stuck in my head and started singing it. I am so going to haunt you when it’s my time to haunt. 😂

[@TheReviewQueen82]

I came across Centralia when I was doing research involving another ghost town of Times Beach in Missouri. The sad thing about the coal fire beneath Centralia is that it spread to another town nearby and made that one become a ghost town too called Byrnesville.

[@BamaGrammy]

🧓🏻🐈👻Heyyy y'all I really enjoy your investigations. Now in Centralia, did you have to get permission from anyone? Or just a casual perusal? Well just keep up your investigations. I love them 😍 Y'all are more realistic than other shows. Can't beat the best after all. And on a side note, whenever there's nothing to watch I always play me some Ghost Hunters or Ghost Nation and I'm happy. OXOX on to the next🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👻👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌟🤟🏻🤙🏻🎶

[@paranormalrealitytv]

Centralia was an unscheduled stop. We didn't need permission because we stayed on the abandoned streets...they're still public. Thanks for the question! - JV

[@Seth.1845]

I didn't know you have a KZbin channel! That's awesome!!

[@pamleblanc3234]

I enjoyed the investigation and can’t wait for the next one. But what got to me was when @Jason Hawes was flying the drone and the garbage truck was shown in a neighborhood that no longer existed could they be responsible for all the garbage that is being dumped there? If so, that’s extremely upsetting to me that the city is using that area as a dumping site. 😢💔 Anyway, great job, Jason and JV. 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@natc2191]

I loved this! Great show. I'm not great with words, but this was awesome and I'm looking forward to when you fellas can investigate in January or February, for a week! Goodness knows what you may find!

[@SanaLovesMahado1]

I busted out laughing at Jason's reciting of the Lord's Prayer. 😂 Just the way he did it made me laugh.

[@paranormalrealitytv]

I'm not gonna lie....we have fun when we investigate. - JV

[@GCrewHomeschooling]

I live in Burlington city these days How cool we could of seen you. I'm not allowed out really because of my chronic illnesses, but it would of been worth it for me😊

[@robertmauro2230]

Not sure what scares me more, Jason singing or Jason knowing the words

[@andoncroft]

Jason, I'm gaining a lot of respect for you mate 😁

[@brendaanderson8189]

Jason I been watching you since Taps your still amazing. I even saw you live in Ann arbor .I have those pics still ,think on my hard drive.

[@kemmy7617]

Centralia is such a crazy story.. I grew up close to there, too young to remember the town but old enough to remember "graffiti highway" and have visited it. It was a stretch of probably dangerous roadway that was completely covered in graffiti that the state went through dumping truckloads upon truckloads of dirt to allow nature to take it back over.. I remember the steam/smoking cracks in the road. Tons of people go there to dump because its not monitored anymore and even more teens go there for bush partying. When you're back in the area, stop by the Yuengling mansion for a tour and a beer in Pottsville, PA. Its a gorgeous mansion and the Yuengling family is amazing.

[@JOE.kaizer.kaiden]

😅😅😅😅 that was helarious when jason started aying the lords prayer when jv asked him did he know the Gettysburg address 😅 my side and ribs are hurting i had too pause it because i couldn't watch it for a few minutes 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@paranormalrealitytv]

I was laughing too!!!! lol - JV

[@screenprintman]

I love this KZbin Channel Jason and and JV! It's really great to watch y'all investigating together! Come down to New Orleans and investigate some stuff down here again!

[@josephtucker7397]

Great episode! I love history and a great investigation into the paranormal, whether it's productive in the paranormal or not. Maybe I'm getting old. Either way, great job guys!

[@MummyBrown]

21:17 A second or two right after this time stamp, there is either an “electronic” sound or something that sounds like a groan. Is that just me?

[@joysmetaphysicalnaturechannel]

Just thinking that white stuff in the basement when you metal detecting could of been Lime. They use to put lime in outhouses lol to decompose and lets say de-stink lol the outhouse. ( just a guess)

[@paranormalrealitytv]

Great thought! - JV

[@gdouble8147]

I wonder what would happen if you went to that town in Pennsylvania that has a fire burning underground, and took a thermal imaging camera with you and scoped the town out at night. I bet that would be pretty interesting

[@paranormalrealitytv]

Wow. Great suggestion! - JV

[@s-z515]

These are my type of ghost hunts. They seem more legit. Not like the modern day ones where you see half a dozen shadow people, perfectly clear voices and a full bodied apparition.

[@evildianegaming]

Yes that was a old staircase

[@marjorieperry3745]

I am in love with history, especially the history of the Civil War...but it also was sad 😔 of how many soldiers died during that era 💔!!

Definitely miss these guys but hey that’s ok, y’all are back on KZbin! Keep em coming!

[@lorikendrick5076]

I video taped a friend who had been in the movie "Gettysburg" as a reinactor. He had several paranormal experiences there. It was very interesting. I'm glad I taped it. Jason, I always wondered what you thought about hearing footsteps. Why would spirits have footsteps you can hear? .Just wondered .
