Gates of Hell

The 2 faces captured @ The Gates of Hell (one on the left is easy to see, but the one on the right is a little more hidden)

I am an avid amateur ghost hunter from the Uniontown Area. While researching haunted places in my area, I found a link to a site that told about "The Gates of Hell" which coincidentally is right near my house. The Gates of Hell are located on Tent Church Road right between Uniontown and Fairchance Pennsylvania. The supposed story of why this place is haunted is there was a couple that resided there, and one day the husband went crazy, killed his wife, set the house on fire, and then took his own life. Many reports have been that of the 2 main spirits living there, one spirit is content being there, but the other spirit is very angry. I decided to check it out with some friends. We went on October 13th, 2007 to see what we could find. We started out at the actual blue gates that guard the pathway to the original foundation of the house. We snapped a couple pictures and talked to the spirits there and eventually started getting orbs (balls of energy) floating above us. We decided to hop the fence (there are no trespassing signs posted...but, hey, we're rebels. haha.). We walked the short pathway to the foundation of the house and started to feel very unwelcome and cold. I moved closer to the foundation while my friends stayed behind. I began snapping pictures near the foundation and got a few orbs and ecto-mists...but then snapped one more picture and captured 2 faces in some ecto-mist. One face looked like it was smiling and one looked very mean.


All in all, my conclusion that this place IS haunted. It was very apparent that we were standing among some heavy vibes....good and bad. I would suggest to anyone NOT to go there alone @ night. If there is any questions that anyone has about this location...feel free to contact me @ bsheree21@yahoo.com OR AIM: dreamsinger60.


Sweet Peace and Happy Hunting!

Gates of Hell

I lived 1 minute up the road from Tent Church. I knew this story when I was young. I've been to the gates before those blue gates were installed. There are no remains of the house, contrary to what some have said. Foundation is overgrown and hard to find. Needless to say, I've seen things and experienced everything from lights, to shadow figures, up to outlines of human figures. Believe what you want, but I know what I've seen. I would say it was my imagination, but not when a friend of mine saw the same human figure in the same place that I did.

Collier
by: BJ De Lorenzo

Lived in Colier most of my life...we had an old white house just above the strip mine and we were told of a bright light that used to fly around the strip mine, (just to scare us and keep us from going near the mine). Then one day me and the McDoungh brothers went to the house....John Brown went upstairs to ramsack the place and we heard him scream at first we thought he had hurt himself then we heard him bounding down the old staricase...I was first to look around the corner and what I saw still sticks with me today and I'm 62...A bright orb was chansing John, well he missed about 10 steps and was out the door before I could turn around an follow him...we never looked back and to this day I believe in something..

Gates of Hell
by: Anonymous

I just got home from the quaker cemetery and the gates of hell tonight and i had seen, felt, and heard some of the most wild paranormal things i have in my whole life. Taking about 650 pictures of both places left us with some really great photos. Our flashlight started flickering at the same time that we started hearing voices, so we snapped a bunch of pictures getting very heavy patches of smoke around the foundation and above our heads. Very odd feeling of unwelcome there. We also got pictures of the building at quaker cemetery with smoke rising out of the chimneys and a huge BRIGHT oddly shaped light above the building. Definitely both places are very haunted, don't go alone and if you get the feeling your wanted to leave, don't stick around. It was definitely a wild night.
