  Problem solved: Use raised sea to put out the underground fire.

  Sydney: &nbsp;we didn’t start the fire. &nbsp;It’s been always burning since the world was turning &nbsp;. . &nbsp;. &nbsp; &nbsp; Write that down.

  imagine in 100 years from now, someones car brakes down on the highway. they&apos;re stuck there for a while so they decide to wander around. after a while they get bored and decide kick up the dirt, and discover the long lost graffiti highway, covered with thousands of signatures from people long dead. they decide to follow this road and they eventually reach a town. The only legible piece of writing is a hanging sign: Centralia Pennsylvania.

  I can not believe I have gone 54 years without coming across Joe Scott. I am eternally grateful that I have now came across him and I am impressed. Binge watching all day. It’s a mere 39c day here in Melbourne Australia so I’m chilling with Joe

  Hi all,<br>I live about 25 mins from Centralia and everything Joe said is true, including the graves dropping from beneath due to the fire below. The people that do still live there , which is only an handful left (they may even be totally gone by now but it’s hard to tell since they are so reclusive.) were a bit weird, but I would be a bit weird too if I breathed in coal dust and fumes for my whole life. The ground really does have holes that you can see smoking. As for the graffiti highway, it was actually pretty dangerous due to the cracks in the road from the heat underneath and it was really easy to sprain or even break your ankle/foot. This fire has been burning for a long time and will continue to burn for a very long time as well. This was the largest deposit of anthracite coal in the planet and those idiots started it on fire, lol. Centralia is our real-life urban myth right in our own backyards. Hopefully this country will begin to move forward with renewable energies and away from fossil fuels. Centralia is a perfect example, more like a time-lapse movie, of how fossil fuels will be all burned up sooner rather than later. <br>Much love to you all!

  I actually lived in a ghost town when I was a kid. Foss creek Oregon, it used to be a logging town. It was right in the middle of the woods. It was spooky, you would be walking through the woods and there would just be a house sitting there in the middle of the woods with no roads leading to our from it, and a foundation with a pile of wood sitting on it next to it or sometimes nothing but the one house. &nbsp;I loved living there.

  The game was Not based on the town of Centralia. The town of Centralia was the inspiration for the look of the film only. The director learned about Centralia and its history. The Church that still sits in Centralia was the inspiration for the church seen in the film.

  I love how you consider within “a hundred miles “ local. That’s most of the U.K.

  “Brennender Berg” in German simply means burning mountain.
