Abandoned Slaughterhouse in PA
Around a
year or so ago I was told of an abandoned slaughterhouse which was near my
summer home. I didn't believe it at first because no one ever mentioned it to me
during my 22 some years of living (and going to this summer home for the
uh..summer). So I was quite shocked when my cousin drove me up there and we
explored it for the first time. We've had many subsequent visits but this one is
always the most memorable for us.
Most of the place was pitch black and was only lit when I used the camera for a
split second. The stairs leading to the lower levels were the scariest, as my
maglite died on us in there and we were in 100% darkness. The steps were
littered with debris as well so it was quite nerve racking. It seems the place
was heavily damaged in a fire before its closure and my grandparents say some of
the workers died in it.
There's some bones of animals and parts of animals in the back area too. I should
also mention that after this I contracted bronchitis and was ill with a 103
degree fever for a whole damn month (wow that sucked!). The yard off to the side
contains barrels of unknown substances, I knocked one over though. Maybe that
wasn't a smart idea in retrospect. There's a sewer system as well but almost all
of the entry points are filled with cement. One isn't, but im not going down
there! Im assuming the cage seen in the large open area is where they put the
cattle before killing them. The place is being torn down now, its a shame. the
place was really cool! Enjoy the pics!
