How long can a fire burn? How long can you live in a town built on top of an underground fire? Why would you want to stay in here? Well, I'm gonna be honest...we don't answer all of these questions, but we do ask them.
Today, Rachel takes us through the story and history of how Centralia, Pennsylvania became a real-life, modern ghost town.
