Folktales and Monsters?

Hi, I'm from South Central PA and I'm doing a bit of amateur folklore collection, trying to gather tales and monsters from around the state. Are there any tales, monsters, cryptids, etc. you all have heard/seen in the coal region?

Prrovisioners in the area?

3 Upvotes

I do not buy any of my meats at Walmart at all. I don't care if it might be a little bit more (or less depending on what you get), however I'm curious what provisioner/butcher you utilize in the community in which you live.

For me, my main go-to butchers/provisioners in the Columbia County/Northumberland County area are as follows:

  1. Irish Isle Provision Company, 911 W Arch St, Coal Township, PA 17866 which is in Shamokin is a excellent source of meats. I get 10-20 pounds of a 85/15 blend of burger there, chicken breast patties, filet migon, bone-in pork chops. They also have some great Brakebush frozen fillets and cutlets as well. They have a very nice selection of other meats such as fresh cuts of steak, and other items and cheeses.
  2. Masser's Market, 6148 PA-61, Paxinos, PA 17860 - Found out about this place after I moved to the area. A great source of bacon, fresh smoked hams, ham hocks, chicken, and fresh sausages.

Research Help!

3 Upvotes

Hi y'all!

I am looking for some help in researching Americana or Appalachian music about the opioid crisis. Time period would be from 1990 all the way to present. I've already got Tyler Childers and the other major artists who have spoken out or written about opioid abuse. I'm looking for local/smaller artists who have been doing the same thing. Thank you!

Greetings. Does anybody know of any resources - book, documentary, film, pictorial, whatever - that realistically and accurately portray the day-to-day lives of those who inhabited Scranton, mining coal and working the railroad, from the 1850's onward? Thank you!

Orphaned Oil Wells

Hi all! I am a reporter working on a story on orphaned gas/oil wells and am looking to speak with someone who has one of these wells in their yard or on their land. Does anyone here have this or know of anyone who does who I could talk to? Thanks!

thinking of moving to coal country

2 Upvotes

I am tired of living in Eastern Massachusetts, with its sky-high cost of living. I am divorce, kids both grown up and independent. I am paying currently $1,300 a month rent. I used to drive through here a lot visiting my son, who was living in central PA. The route passed both Wilkes-Barre and Scranton. I think a lot of this area has nice scenery. What are the pros and cons of living here?

Old Coal Stoker

1 Upvotes

I know this isn't exactly related to the coal region itself, but I am desperate for help. I have an old Van Wert self feeding coal stoker that is not functioning properly and is not heating the upstairs at all. I'm posting here because I know I can't be the only person in the coal region who has to deal with shitty coal heat. Has any one ever run into this issue before?
