Description
Centralia is a borough and a near ghost town in Columbia County,
Pennsylvania
is known as the real “Silent Hill”..
In 1962, Hell on Earth became a reality when a fire started in a mine
beneath the town and ultimately led to the town being almost entirely
abandoned. This fire is still burning and will continue to burn for the next
1000 years.
Its population has dwindled from over 1,000 living residents to somewhere
around 10.
Every sound on this cd was recorded on location. Hundreds of hours of
environmental sounds were brought back to our studio and edited to
capture the real ambience of this ghost town. During the recording of the
cd, we encountered some strange sounds that were picked up in the mines
and other areas. I still can’t explain things that we heard but they are used
throughout this cd.
Due to the natural low end of the coal mine’s and cave’s ambience, a sub
woofer is suggested but not necessary for the playback of this cd.
