This Town is What Silent Hill is Based On, No Really This is it

If you are a gamer, or have watch game based movies, You must have seen/played or even heard of Silent Hill before. Silent Hill is a very popular horror game series that was first introduced back in 1999 and still has new releases coming out.; where the spooky/misty unpopulated  town(except for monsters and a very small number of people) are all out to get you it seems.

Well, it seems that Silent Hill is not completely fictional. Centralia, Pennsylvania is where the Silent Hill movie writers actually visited before they made the movie. A fire is burning in the mines underneath the town started 50 years ago and is still burning to this day.

This was a world where no human could live, hotter than the planet Mercury, its atmosphere as poisonous as Saturn’s. At the heart of the fire, temperatures easily exceeded 1,000 degrees [Fahrenheit]. Lethal clouds of carbon monoxide and other gases swirled through the rock chambers – David DeKok

There are people actually still living in Centralia, 10 people as of 2010 to be exact. I have no idea what the hell they are doing there. The town is scary as hell.
