Tucked deep in the mountains of West Virginia lies a place that locals whisper about—Centralia, a ghost town that feels straight out of The Twilight Zone. Once a thriving mining community, Centralia has been burning from below since 1962, when an underground coal fire was accidentally ignited—and it still smolders today. Streets crack, smoke rises from the ground, and eerie silence blankets the abandoned homes.

Many visitors describe strange sensations: time slowing down, compasses spinning, and electronics going haywire. With nearly all residents evacuated, only a handful of structures remain, swallowed by nature and mystery. Some claim to have seen figures in the smoke or heard voices underground.

Though it’s technically off-limits, thrill-seekers continue to explore Centralia, drawn to its surreal, post-apocalyptic feel. If there’s a doorway to another dimension, this might be it.
