This is a dilapidated building on a mountain between Mahanoy Plane PA and Frackville PA .. 

It was the powerhouse to pull coal bins up the steep mountain. At one time it had the most powerful engines in the world! 

According to some, the location also claimed 148 lives in its existence..

Now it is an overgrown piece of refuse in the middle of the woods, overgrown and left abandoned for death..

John Carpenter: Rob Zombie 'lied' over Halloween remake

John Carpenter: Rob Zombie 'lied' over Halloween remake :

I disliked the Rob Zombie HALLOWEEN remake.
It sounds like John Carpenter did too..
Carpenter called Zombie a piece of excrement.. he said he lied. And he really did not seem to like the retake or remake or whatever you’d call the piece of refuse that Zombie offered up a few years ago..



Halloween. The original. By John Carpenter.
The only real Halloween.

This is the big announcement that was planned by NASA for about a week or longer.. And it could mean that we would find out more about the water on Europa without drilling..

Mind clearing moments in a time when nothing seems clear

I need them. You do too.. We all do at times.



Last night, I took some time to connect with readers on Tumblr who have followed me since the beginning of this little invention called Coal Speaker .. (Thanks to those of you around for 6 plus years) .. I lamented the fact that so often I vanish from here for days only to return again with a fervor.. There are moments in life when I come to need mind clearing events.. Whether it’s a long walk in the woods or even a long kneeling in an empty Cathedral in the city I work in during noon devotions. Whatever floats a boat .. Whatever gets to the point of connecting with a higher realm, if that is at all possible…



As things change, I realize I often don’t. As I age, I still seem to think that ten years ago was yesterday and that dial up wasn’t so long ago–neglecting to realize that so many now getting into the work world never knew what dial up was! Never knew with an AOL chat room was! Never heard of Geocities.. Yes indeed so much has changed..



And so much on this website has changed as well.



When I go back and look at some archived material, I realize how immature I was at times.. I realize how I have grown over time (but yet have so much more to go ) …



So thanks for reading.
Thanks for being here. My hope is you continue to lend an ear and keyboard to my quivering verbose at times verbal diarrhea … It just would not be the same without you.


Exorcist warns of a demon that seeks to attack families

Exorcist warns of a demon that seeks to attack families :

Priest César Truqui said he had encountered a demon called ‘Asmodeus’ – the same demon according to Truqui who was present in the Old Testament story of Tobias..



Truqui claims that this demon 'targets families’ as an evil calling..



He said it was 'present’ in an exorcism he held with Gabriele Amorth – he was the priest famous for exorcisms who recently died..



And you can decide accordingly.


Police searching for person in clown mask after Pennsylvania teen fatally stabbed

Police searching for person in clown mask after Pennsylvania teen fatally stabbed:

Officials told the newspaper they responded to reports of a person lying on a front porch of a home, and that there was a large crowd in the street. The Reading Eagle identified the victim as Christian Torres, 16, who was a 10th-grader at Reading High School.
Reading Police Chief Andres Dominguez Jr. told the newspaper that investigators believe there are several suspects.



The notable portion of facts … The clown mask.


Watching Horror Movies Reduces Risk of Obesity?

Watching Horror Movies Reduces Risk of Obesity? :

SNOPES checks in on the claim and finds SOME potential truth..
But I will saw it is mostly overplayed.

If you want to get thin and reduce your risk for obesity, eat less bread and move around more. Add in vegetables and healthy proteins.

That will go a lot better than horror movies.

That is of course unless you’re running away from Freddy Kreuger for exercise.




The great debate finale thought

I know this may not be the popular opinion.. But I really don’t think much changed last night. I think those who liked Hillary Clinton will like her more.. This who like Donald Trump will do the same..



In my humble thought, if you only watched the first half hour of the rumble in Long Island, you’d walk away thinking that Trump soared–Hillary did not seemed prepared for the kinder and gentler Donald, despite his sniffling.. If you watched the last half, you’d think that Hillary cleaned Donald’s clock. The middle hour was a murky tale of nasty one liners and lipstick on teeth..



The debate to end all debates actually was not as good as some may have hoped it would be. Camp Clinton is claiming the crown and the media is piling on with articles about the best quips back to Trump and Howard Dean publicly pondering if the Republican candidates snorted crack before the debate.. But the conservative media is piling on the same..



The partisan divide is only more evident. After the debate, a Drudge poll had Trump leading 90% to Hillary’s 10%.. I thought how ridiculous. When I saw the CNN poll showing about 70% thought Hillary won I thought it was equally ridiculous..



Everyone is playing to their own crowd. There is no unbiased reporting anymore, and when there is it’s comes with low ratings and little to no concern from the public.



Instead we picked our corners already. The only thing left to do now is cheer on the candidate we most want to see bloody the other.



This may be the most partisan election since 2000 … And God help us if a repeat of disputed chads happens this year.
