Lost towns in Pennsylvania: Haunted Pioneer Cemetery & Pandemonium

hey everyone today I'm coming to you from the lost town of pandemonium and today we're going to try to go over some try to find some of the foundations that have been here and also take a little bit about the history I have some history I saw a good place not a whole lot but first of all the lost town of pandemonium as a sign indicates right here I ran from 1787 to 1912 right now of course I'm located right in front of Pioneer Cemetery well also go to at least one stone or representing one of the founders of the valley which I located right here in the cemetery but anyway this town had about 100 homes at its its height there were also a couple sawmills and a tannery and we'll check out the tannery but first some minor history a guy named Christian Henry of course the name of the valley here is Henry's Valley we're out in far western Perry County in in Pennsylvania but anyway Christian Henry was the one who founded that that's what got named after that's who stone I've also located but also a big part history of course right here is the tannery which was down over the hill here I just found about RJ mcFarland and that eventually also when that went out of business in the late 1800s of course that led to there not being a lot of jobs and to get around here that's why the town died in 1912 but also back in the day there was no postal service or no post-war phone service here so if you wanted didn't know teller markers we're gonna bother you that's that's for sure back in the day so alright we're back here's a a what stone of note this is the one for Christian Henry who coal Valley here is named after he died in 1871 he was 81 years old and he was of course a local what habited right here in pandemonium there also is a story of a runaway slave not sure how true it is for certain but she had escaped here and she was chased by some dogs up a tree and she was they thought she was a bear unfortunately they shot her and and she died and she was believed to be buried in the northeastern corner of this cemetery and I turn it and point it in that direction currently were about due north about right in the middle as well facing north the upper portion of this cemetery and we're almost right in the middle we're not to show you here roughly where the air we're talking about for her would be be over here the over next section of the grounds right here all right I can't see any writing on this ticker stone the slave that story goes it's supposed to be in the north eastern side which will put it actually over on the other side not right here on this side so well don't think it's in honor of a fairly young girl based on some of the stuff that you see there is my best guess but I'm not quite sure in theory that should not be the stone for the slave but it's interesting how it's decorated right there but sin or theis turn this is north western end of it not the northeastern so not quite sure what that represents let me get a shot of the cemetery here jam it down here have some people from the civil war one second or a pan around here and again their proportions errors where the the Henry's are buried the four stones at the top of your screen all right all right here's the sign for the school I stood very close to here we're gonna get up to it here in just a moment here but of course as you can see on the sign the school here Henry's various cooperate until 1912 all right I climbed up to where I could see a foundation of a group of rocks and right here that's what we have because we don't have a lot off to either side here well show you here in a moment it's not like this and we're just above the sign too so there we go she go see over there there's nothing on that side and then you head over here there's not much over there that would form a could possibly run into a foundation but straight ahead we have a promise to the foundation and of the school that ran until nineteen 1912 let's see if we can go up through it here a little bit bear with me here we're gonna move that and then move the camera here oh it's a good size I'm sure it was a one-room schoolhouse with ribbon a decent size I'm not further down the dirt road and we have another set of rocks like I said there were about 100 houses around here let's take a look the whole area around so you get an idea what it looks like as well and I slowly turn the camera fair with mixed I'm not on a tripod I like I'm holding it even though it's part of the tripod and it looks like up on the hill there I'm not sure how I you can see that there definitely is like a major foundation up on the hill I have to try to get there and see what I can see you might be able to see it in the background right now we'll take a little break and I'll come right back at ya hopefully open top of the hill or somewhere else or else at the tannery foundation worst-case scenario I was walking along the dirt road back down to my car and I you always have to look on the sides because there's always a chance of having the foundations running across a foundation or two of an old house and I think I found a couple here so we're gonna walk in here and see my rocks be up together and that could be a foundation I'm sorry point out one right now and there's one over on our side too which could easily be a couple right here so we're and go over here bear with me here all right we have a foundation right here are some rocks right here of a house that I that's probably right through here somewhere right next to the little ravine it goes by I can't get over I hope to but they're also starting within a house like right over there you can see what a few rocks pound together right there there's some right through that or - maybe they slip down there there certain a lot of big big rocks around and you have some right through here as well of course right my feet all right we'll be right back at you in a little bit we are now at the site of where the steam tannery was here in Henry's Valley and now let me say the sign says it ran from 1840 1880 I'm not tried to walk back there and see if I can get a decent shot of some of the runt foundations that remain and see we can come up with so hang around here we go got the camera free now so we're gonna slowly turn it around the mud right here is thick enough my boots are almost coming off as I step through the mud the last location where I couldn't really find any kind of rocks or signs of foundations on that slight little hill I found so I figured just walk down the road from where I was parked and I there's a bridge and we can get a view of your site it's nice and it's it's beautiful tip it over so Mort you can see a little bit better hopefully beautiful view nice little stream that's one direction let's go over here to our side it might be too dark we'll see we can get though again a beautiful beautiful stream do you feel view going back in there alright and this pretty much concludes when we're able to find here at the lost town remnants okay pandemonium so thank you for watching
