Shades of Death Road. It's the name of the road, supposedly because there was a disease that went around way back when and killed a lot of people. Something like that.
I'd say we should hit Clinton Rd too, but that's only scary now because there are actually dangerous people who drive up and down the road trying to screw with you.
@nintendoll True, but from what I've read, the entire area used to be called 'The Shades'. Then it got changed to 'The Shades of Death'.
One of the stories I read said that there used to be groups of brigands that would rob and murder people in the region, and eventually their territory was pushed back to only include Shades of Death Road as civilization encroached.
Even beyond that, there's sooo much more bad history concerning that place. I'm so psyched!
Have fun, watch out for that carbon monoxide in Centralia
I want to go to the New York Renn Faire :P
This seems acceptable as well though. Wish I still lived up there =\
I'm buying a large knife before this trip. Maybe an axe and baseball bat as well, to round out my inventory.
Holler!
Oh god, not Clinton Road.
For once I know I'm gonna be in the city this weekend, but I'm not so sure if I'm up for the drive to Pennsylvania and whatnot -_-. Eh, I'll try and get in contact with one of you guys and we'll see.
Because I live on "Da West Coast" I shall not be joining you intrepid travelers. However, I would like some pictures of this Centralia place you speak of, if possible. Anything related to a real life Silent Hill sounds terrifying to me.
there is an old asylum/hospital near me called "fairfield hills"(newtown,connecticut) that cops arnt allowed to goto because its privet property but you can get inside some of the old buildings/tunnels.

@Cataract
yeah clinton rd is some weird shit. Those houses with the shades painted on the boarded-up windows freak me out. My friend was almost driven off the road there.
But the myth about the bridge where the little boy throws the pennies back at you is totally fake. Didn't work for us anyway.
@Fetusmilk I've known about Fairfield Hills for some time now and it's definitely on my list of places to check out.
I had no idea about any of these places in NJ beforehand though. I had a feeling that befriending the natives of New Jersey would be beneficial at some point.
