i have quite a few relatives who live near centralia...although i haven't traveled extensively, i've had some good trips and i must say that it was the most eerie, haunted site i have seen. smoke rising from the ground, trees without any leaves (during the summer, there is a definite line between trees with and trees without any greenery), abandoned buildings...it's like a scene from an apocolyptic movie. and it's even more amazing that there are still the old couples who refuse to move, even though everything else in the area is gone.
 
that's crazy.

i wonder how it looks in winter. is there alot of steam when it rains?
 
It's also the theme of a major motion picture that was shot in Toronto last year.

It shot here as "Centralia," but will be released as "Silent Hill."

Here the IMDB link: www.imdb.com/title/tt0384537/
 
I wonder if there is a way to tap the energy of the burning fire.

It seems likely that it would be relatively easy to tap into that heat as an energy source with pipes to heat water to a boil and capture the steam and a little silly that they have active coal mines digging up coal and taking it to a power plant to be burned but no power generation at this underground coal fire that they can't seem to put out.
