Summary

In Episode 55 of Murder and Such, Hunter is joined by the lovely Ms. Erin R. Ryan to discuss the rise and fall of a mining town in Pennsylvania. A town only a quarter of a square mile that started off as a $30,000 investment turned into a booming economic opportunity due to it becoming 75% of the worlds supply of anthracite coal. But this town would soon be plagued by robberies, murders, and a monster that breathed below the earths surface which turned into a pop culture reference. In this episode we talk about the now-ghost town of Centralia, Pennsylvania!
