Tracking down a Mysterious case of Coal Miners being killed by a beast.

 So there has been many  a story going around about mysterious goings on in the old Coal Mines of W Pa.

The Chickasaw mine which I have reported on  and I hear

 The Maple Creek Mine in particular is said to have had a possible Shape Shifter that lurked around the river coal handling  docks which scared workers who would not work by themselves  is often talked about as well as strange noises heard in the mine shafts  itself.

I have heard from several miners who worked the mine. anything to it? Well nothing in print I can find just oral legends. 

So it was not that strange when I was contacted about a case which supposedly happened in 1930s  somewhere in W. Pa  coal mine

 


The story goes miners where working a shaft when they broke into a room underground  when setting up a new shaft to be cut and a beast appeared and  killed the majority of the workers.

The couple who made it out where never the same and kept mentioning the word KAHOO  

Possibly the entity that attacked them. Supposedly you could see the city of Pittsburgh steel mill glow from entrance of the mine which was sealed up after the incident and area became known as Kahoo Hollow

One reference to this hollow is Nolo Road in Indiana County near Hellwood which I hope to explore at some point and get to bottom of the story as once again I can find nothing in print.

Maybe it was a story made up to scare kids and keep them out of the numerous  abandoned  coal mines 

which there have been several incidents over the decades of kids going in and getting lost.

Well this story of a beast and coal mines keeps getting more interesting and I will update you on anything I find out .
