Centralia
Level 3
Centralia is a nearly abandoned town in Pennsylvania, USA, known for a coal mine fire that has been burning underground since 1962. The fire caused the town to be evacuated and has inspired conspiracy theories, including beliefs that the fire was intentionally set as part of a government or corporate plot. Centralia’s eerie, smoke-filled landscape has even been linked to the inspiration for the horror video game series “Silent Hill.”

Blood Ghosts
“Blood Ghosts” are believed to be spectral entities or manifestations that arise from the residual energy of bloodshed, particularly in violent or traumatic deaths. These entities are thought to be bound to the location where the blood was spilled and are often associated with hauntings or other paranormal activity. Some theories suggest that blood ghosts are created when the life force of the deceased lingers in the physical world, seeking revenge or justice. In some interpretations, these ghosts can also be summoned through ritualistic bloodletting or dark magic, making them powerful and dangerous entities in the realm of the supernatural.
