I'd say that's fair 😁

The Yellow Dog Village was built by the Pittsburgh Limestone Company for the workers around 1910-1920. The contracts for the union workers were called Yellow Dog contracts, so this is what gave the village it's name and closed around 1958.

The village was then taken over by Moonlight Mushrooms, using the old mines to grow mushrooms until the early 2000s.

A Christian community then took over and wanted to call it Shadyside, but it never stuck.

People slowly started moving out, as water has gotten unsafe and needed much renovation.

A retired history professor wanted to create a living history village, but failed, and left, leaving much of his stuff behind.

It is currently being used as a small farm and opened to allow for legal urban explorations for visitors (so no trespassing because it is owned property) and dates and registration can be accessed at Yellow Dog Village Tours.

SCARE Sanctum - Episode 7 - Cryptids of Pennsylvania 😈👻👾👹

The latest episode from the Haunt Hutchess delves into the captivating realm of "Cryptids of Pennsylvania," inspired by the intricate work of an artist who meticulously collected and compiled an array of legends and folklore from across the state. In this thrilling installment, listeners are introduced to a veritable menagerie of enigmatic creatures that have captured the imagination of Pennsylvanians for generations.

The legendary Squonk, a homely, weeping creature that hides from human eyes, is also brought to life, as is the Giwoggle. Equally captivating are the tales of the Storm Hag, a malevolent crone who summons violent weather, and the Ogua, a massive, turtle creature that dwells in the depths of Pennsylvania's lakes and rivers.

Pennsylvania Myths & Legends

13/05/2024

With the recent northern lights display over North America in May 2024, the Haunt Hutchess has unearthed some of the more terrifying tales from old legends relating to sightings of these strange lights in the sky, also known as the aurora borealis. In the past, indigenous peoples like the Inuit and Cree told ominous stories of how the dancing, colorful lights were an omen of dark spirits and even death. They believed that the auroras were the souls of the departed, flickering across the night sky, or a veil between the world of the living and the realm of the dead. Other tales speak of malevolent shapes and entities lurking within the brilliant curtains of light, waiting to claim unsuspecting souls who stare too long at their hypnotic movement. With the recent awe-inspiring display, the Haunt Hutchess has taken to social media to recount these creepy legends, reminding the public of the air of mystery and foreboding that has long surrounded the northern lights. While most people today see the aurora borealis as a beautiful natural wonder, SCARE Sanctum aims to resurrect the sense of ominous dread and supernatural danger that this atmospheric phenomenon once evoked when night skies were full of omens, spirits, and things unseen. Explore chilling tales of otherworldly encounters and vanished travelers that serve as a reminder that nature's splendor can still harbor traces of primal fear.

There is a Past Life Regression exercise towards the end of this podcast 💮

Delving into the mysterious shadows of our genetic code, "The Ghosts in Our DNA" probes the unsettling idea that our DNA may contain echoes of past lives and former selves. This fascinating session explores the notion that deep within us lurk ancestral spirits and karmic residues that influence our present emotions and personalities in subtle, unseen ways. Through the lens of epigenetics, we examine startling evidence that our DNA retains imprints of trauma, experience, and consciousness - both from our own lives and perhaps even those of our forebears. Tales of people spontaneously recalling intricate details of past lives, speaking lost languages, and displaying inexplicable talents. Do these anecdotes reveal that the soul transcends physical death, that reincarnation is real? This session culminates in an immersive past life regression exercise, allowing you to potentially unearth past life memories sleeping within your cells. Prepare to confront the ghosts swirling in the double helix of your DNA. You may discover a long-lost self, calling out across centuries, eager to make its presence known. Will you answer? The secrets dwelling in the shadowy corners of your genome await.

"Death asked me to join him for dinner
so I slipped into my favorite black dress
that I had been saving for a special occasion
and let him walk me to our candlelit tryst.
He ordered a ribeye, extra rare
I ordered two desserts and red wine
and then I sipped
and wondered
why he looked so familiar
and smelled like earth and memory.
He felt like a place both faraway
and deep within my body
A place that whispers to me
on the crisp autumn breeze
along the liminal edges of dusk and dawn
somewhere between dancing
and stillness.
He looked at me
with the endless night sky in his eyes
and asked
‘Did you live your life, my love?’
As I swirled my wine in its glass
I wondered If I understood the thread I wove into the greater fabric
If I loved in a way that was deep and freeing
If I let pain and grief carve me into something more grateful
If I made enough space to be in awe that flowers exist
and take the time to watch the honeybees
drink their sweet nectar
I wondered what the riddles of regret and longing
had taught me
and if I realized just how
beautiful and insignificant and monstrous and small we are
for the brief moment that we are here
before we all melt back down
into ancestors of the land.
Death watched me lick buttercream from my fingers
As he leaned in close and said
‘My darling, it’s time.’
So I slipped my hand into his
as he slowly walked me home.
I took a deep breath as he leaned in close
for the long kiss goodnight
and I felt a soft laugh leave my lips
as his mouth met mine
because I never could resist a man
with the lust for my soul in his eyes
and a kiss that makes my heart stop."

Author's note: A playful love poem to Death, because I want to remember to relate to it as a part of life, and in ways that exist outside of violence and brutality.

The topic of the upcoming solar eclipse in 2024 has stirred up much intrigue and apprehension in recent weeks. This session of SCARE Sanctum, titled "Synchronicity - Solar Eclipse 2024 Edition", delves into the growing unease surrounding this astronomical event. Specifically, the discussion centers around how various unconnected happenings and phenomena are being linked to the impending eclipse, leading some to view it as an omen of impending doom or "the end of the world."

However, an alternative perspective emerges that perhaps these seemingly unrelated occurrences are not harbingers of catastrophe but rather are the result of a collective consciousness. As humanity draws nearer to the eclipse, our shared anticipation and anxiety manifests in the form of seeing patterns and meaning in random, scary scenarios. This viewpoint suggests that as a collective, we are picking up on each other's energies and trepidations surrounding the eclipse, which then materialize in the world around us as ominous signs and synchronicities.

Rather than heralding disaster, the unease and perceived synchronicities may simply reflect our shared consciousness tuning into the immense power and mystery of such a rare celestial event. The coming together of the sun and moon in a total solar eclipse is an extraordinary cosmic occurrence, so it follows that anticipation and even apprehension would ripple through humanity. By considering this perspective, we can approach the eclipse with an open and curious mindset, appreciating the rarity of the event rather than viewing it only through the lens of fear. The eclipse causes much intrigue and excitement in the collective consciousness - such reactions do not necessarily signify impending doom, but rather humanity's shared awe of the cosmos.
