Gov. Josh Shapiro wants data centers in Pennsylvania, and he's got a plan to incentivize developers to build. But does the governor's proposal have a shot at making it through our divided legislature? Kate Huangpu, government reporter for Spotlight PA, joins host Trenae Nuri to talk about the appetite for data centers among lawmakers, business groups, and the labor force, and how the Keystone State could benefit from this booming industry.

For over a century, Pennsylvania has been a hotspot for UFO encounters that baffle experts and leave witnesses questioning reality. From glowing discs in remote lakes to crafts that defy physics, the Keystone State's skies are filled with the mysterious, paranormal, and extraterrestrial.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/PennsylvaniaUFOsREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/ye247nxkFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Pennsylvania has always been a land of mysteries in the skies. It has become one of the most intriguing destinations for UFO sightings throughout the years, with tales that date back long before the term “flying saucer” was even coined. From glowing discs hovering over fields, to objects that break the laws of physics, the state's history is filled with encounters that leave you wondering what might actually be out there. And these are not mere passing glimpses; these are encounters that can leave a witness profoundly shaken – altered for life. There's the Carbondale incident, where strange lights in a lake sent people into a panic. There's the experienced aviator who encountered something that decades in the cockpit could not explain. There are numerous accounts of silent craft and disc-shaped objects, eerie lights in the sky — occasions when the stars were blotted out. There are reports of the stopping of time, an encounter that had state troopers speechless, and even an extraterrestrial werewolf-like entity. From the earliest sightings in 1917 through more modern accounts, Pennsylvania's connection to the UFO phenomenon is undeniable, if not unbelievable. What's going on in the skies over the Keystone State? And why is it happening there in particular?CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Foreboding00:01:37.162 = Show Open00:02:45.008 = Chapter 01: Lanterns and Lies: The Carbondale UFO Mystery00:11:48.101 = Chapter 02: Eerie Lights in Erie ***00:15:12.728 = Chapter 03: The Oil City Light Show00:16:46.996 = Chapter 04: Saylor's Lake, Silent Lights, and a Stunned State Trooper00:18:09.833 = Chapter 05: A Tent, A Grandmother, And A Silent Visitor Overhead00:20:02.281 = Chapter 06: The Wainwright's Werewolf00:25:33.631 = Chapter 07: The Black Circle In The Sky ***00:27:55.349 = Chapter 08: Friday Night Lights In The Sky00:30:36.853 = Chapter 09: Playing Chicken With An Experienced Pilot00:32:40.481 = Chapter 10: Mind Probing and Time Stopping00:35:41.135 = Chapter 11: The First Saucers00:41:31.466 = Chapter 12: Why Pennsylvania? ***00:44:16.924 = Show Close & Bloopers*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakLISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: February 24, 2025Weird Darkness traces more than a century of unexplained encounters in the skies over Pennsylvania, from a glowing disc submerged in a Carbondale lake to a werewolf-faced figure tied to a silent craft, the apparent stopping of time outside New Kensington, and the geography researchers believe may explain why the Keystone State draws so many sightings.It opens with the Carbondale incident of November 1974, when teenagers Bill Lloyd, John Lloyd, and Bob Gillette watched a golden-white light streak from the direction of Salem Mountain and drop near the lake outside Russell Park. A disc-shaped glow moved beneath the water, the surface fizzed and turned a sickly green-yellow, and when Officers Barbero and Jacobina fired their weapons at it, the object appeared to dodge the shots. The boys overheard a police radio order to hold off the news media, watched a scuba diver surface screaming, and saw a crane and delivery truck brought to the water's edge under the eye of Police Chief Francis Dottle — only for divers to later produce a single old railroad worker's lantern and declare the whole thing a hoax. Matt Graeber of the UFO Report and Information Center in Philadelphia arrived at five in the morning to find a crowd of between fifteen hundred and three thousand people ringing the lake.From there the episode moves to February 1975 in Simpson, where a driver on Route 171 joined other motorists pulled over to watch red and green lights hover before a white beam appeared and the object shot off faster than a fighter jet. That June, two friends fishing at Red Bank near the Allegheny Reservoir tracked a craft that stopped dead in midair and hovered for roughly an hour, then heard KDKA radio report at six-thirty that morning that a UFO had crashed into an eastern Pennsylvania lake and the National Guard had it surrounded, before the story disappeared from every outlet. Near Erie around the same stretch, two motorists stopped to study a silent disc about eighty feet across hanging a thousand feet up, ringed with red, yellow, blue, and green lights, and afterward never spoke of it to each other again.Next comes Oil City on November 1, 1974, where CB radio chatter about lights near the Vocational Technical Center across from Oil City High School drew a group of brothers out to look. They found three or four bright lights spread miles apart, moving in geometric formations no aircraft could manage, performing for nearly two hours in front of hundreds of onlookers.The account then shifts to Saylor's Lake in Monroe County on the evening of March 1, 1973, where lights began darting fifteen hundred feet above the water around seven-thirty, shifting between white, red, and blue. State Trooper Jeffrey Hontz, sent to investigate, later told the press the display looked like Christmas trees flying in the air. Witnesses counted roughly forty separate lights, all of them silent at an altitude where planes or helicopters would have roared, and the spectacle lasted until just before eleven.That summer of 1973 in Erie, a teenager sleeping in a backyard tent to escape the heat saw a red, star-like object cross the sky with apparent purpose and ran inside to fetch his grandmother. By the time the two returned, the sky had filled with colored star-like objects moving at impossible angles and near-collisions before they winked out of existence rather than flying away, and the grandmother, though she had watched the whole half-hour, afterward refused to discuss any of it.The most frightening encounter belongs to Bensalem on August 27, 1973, when Alan and Elsie Wainwright saw a boomerang-shaped craft glide silently over their home, halt overhead, and d

Ben and Grayson have a weekly movie night with their friend group. When the movie ends, the group watches odd videos they discover on the internet. This extra viewing has led both Ben and Grayson down a public television rabbit hole. Ben found the Pennsylvania public television game show THE PENNSYLVANIA GAME. He says it's a perfect public television quiz show. But, Grayson says the game play in the Keystone State is weak. The Maine PBS show SO YOU THINK YOU KNOW MAINE is a much better game show.

Cold, clean water in Pennsylvania supports some of the most spectacular native fish in the Keystone State. The Brook Trout, a small but stunning native, can turn any stream into a fly fisher's dream. Meanwhile, the Brown Trout, one of the most heavily stocked species in PA, can significantly impact native populations, often reducing or restricting the Brook Trout's natural range.Join us as we explore both species and take a closer look at the ongoing debate surrounding the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission's controversial stocking practices.
In Manheim Township, just north of the city of Lancaster, there flows a tiny stream which has its source near Roseville. This little brook, an unnamed tributary of Landis Run, is little more than a trickle, and although it flows for a distance of less than two miles from Roseville to Eden, there is a long and astonishing list of curious deaths associated with it-- a list that, to my knowledge, has no parallel in the Keystone State.
The Trump administration is pushing for the creation of more immigrant detention centers and is eying Pennsylvania for this expansion. The Department of Homeland Security purchased two warehouses for these efforts. But communities and politicians across the Keystone State are pushing back on these plans. Host Trenae Nuri talks with Spotlight PA reporters Gabriela Martínez and Kate Huangpu about why these plans have been so unclear and if local municipalities and the state have a say in how these facilities operate.

Governor Josh Shapiro and other Democratic governors say they're boycotting an annual bipartisan White House event next week. Hundreds of protesters called for the restoration of a slavery exhibit at the President’s House in Philadelphia as the city battles the Trump administration in federal court. Elected officials gathered to condemn immigration enforcement agents’ operations in the Greater Philadelphia region Wednesday – a day after federal ICE agents detained a man and reportedly broke down the door of a Montgomery County home. The State Department of Health is encouraging students in grades one through six to submit a poster or short video for their Student Lyme Disease Prevention Art Competition.

The story of the United States of America cannot be told without Pennsylvania. Independence Hall. The Declaration of Independence. Philadelphia. The Liberty Bell. Benjamin Franklin. George Washington's Crossing of the Delaware. The Battle of Brandywine. And Valley Forge. Pennsylvania is called the Keystone State because it refers to the central stone in an arch that holds all other stones in place, symbolizing strength and stability. Pennsylvania was the hub of political and economic activity during the colonial period and played a pivotal role in American history. Pennsylvania – it's people, its industries, its thinkers, it's revolutionaries, its influence, it's morals and its resources – serve as the bedrock of these United States. And throughout this year, we are going to be celebrating our place in history as part of the 250th Anniversary of the United States. The semiquincentennial – as it's known – will be celebrated in the original 13 colonies as well as throughout the entire country. But, you know, we're here to talk about Pennsylvania. While so much of our colonial history took place in and around Philadelphia, America 250 PA will be highlighting the incredible contributions of all of Pennsylvania's 67 counties. From Lancasters farmers to Pittsburgh's factory workers. From the fisherman in Erie to the coal miners of Lehigh Valley. I'm a history lover, I don't hide this fact. Give me a book or documentary series about the American Revolution or Civil War and I'm a happy camper. But you don't have to be a history buff to care about this year's historic celebrations.This upcoming celebration serves as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn about the founding of this amazing Commonwealth and country. There's going to be concerts, fireworks, educational programs, lecture series, family events, volunteer opportunities and so much more. On this episode, I speak with Matt Darragh.

We all love a good horror movie—the kind that gets your heart racing, makes you bury your face behind a blanket, and delivers that perfect jump scare. While many of these films are wild, over-the-top creations born from twisted imaginations, some are rooted in chilling reality. In this episode, we're diving into one of those eerie tales: the story of Annabelle. And no, we're not talking about the creepy porcelain doll from the popular horror franchise. The real Annabelle existed—but her appearance and story are far more unsettling than Hollywood would have you believe. Join us as we uncover the true origins of Annabelle and explore her eerie connection to the Keystone State.
One of the strangest things about getting older has been the shift in my interests. Despite being intensely curious as a kid, I never cared about nature growing up. I didn't climb trees or capture bugs or explore creeks. But as I've gotten older all that's changed. Which has made me feel like I'm constantly catching up to those that spent their early lives trekking through the woods, paddling on rivers and exploring the natural world. I often think to myself, “Am I too old to start learning how to identify trees? What's the point of birding if it's going to take me 20 years to catch up? Is it sad that I do a podcast about nature while still knowing so little about it?” A little imposter syndrome mixed in there, of course. Luckily, my positive self-talk tamps those thoughts down long enough to embrace my curiosity. And since I've spent so much time outside, I've found more subjects I want to learn about. One of those topics is geology. Who else can relate to walking around and finding a cool looking rock or fossil and thinking, “I wonder what this is?” I know I do it all the time. You can't spend much time in Pennsylvania without running into examples of incredible geology. From the Appalachian and Allegheny Mountains to the Susquehanna and Delaware Rivers, Pennsylvania is packed with geologic features. State parks like Leonard Harrison, Ricketts Glen, Worlds End, McConnells Mill and Hickory Run are just a few state lands that have unique rocks, boulders, minerals, fossils and cliffs on full, beautiful display. Quartz, slate, shale, limestone, sandstone and marble are woven throughout the Commonwealth. And they can be found, literally, everywhere. Under our feet and above our heads. On the sides of the road and in the middle of forests. Rocks are just cool. But, as I've said, I don't know very much about them. So I wanted to interview someone who did. On this episode I speak with Russell Losco. Russ is a soil scientist & geologist adjunct professor at West Chester University and the host of the PCPG's A Poorly Sorted but Well Rounded Series.

The movement to end gerrymandering is something we've covered on the show several times over the years. Until recently, the conversation focused on independent redistricting commissions formed as a result of grassroots action from voters who felt that gerrymandering led to elected officials who didn't represent the values of the communities they served. The issue is now decidedly more partisan thanks to efforts to redraw maps to benefit Republicans in Texas and Democrats in California — even as majorities of voters across the political spectrum continue to come down against partisan gerrymandering.What's a nonpartisan reformer to do in this new reality? We spoke with two people who recently won victories to create fairer maps in their states. Carol Kuniholm is the co-founder and chair of Fair Districts PA, which won a court case to redraw Pennsylvania's maps in 2021 and is pushing for the creation of an independent redistricting commission in the Keystone State. Emma Addams is co-executive director of Mormon Women for Ethical Government, which was part of a coalition that filed a complaint that led to a Utah court striking down the state's congressional map in August 2025. Kuniholm and Addams discuss how they created the coalitions necessary to create change, the peril that comes with making redistricting a partisan issue, and why the efforts in Texas and California might not work out the way the parties expect.

This week on the Lancaster Farming Industrial Hemp Podcast, we're chasing down the beginnings of a Pennsylvania hemp fiber supply chain. We start the day in southern Lancaster County at Steve Groff's farm, standing in the middle of what he calls his “hemp canyon,” with towering stalks over fifteen feet tall. Groff has about 60 acres of the Australian hemp variety MS-77, which seems to do well on Groff's farm. He's also working on a green decorticator. If the machine works as planned, it could change the way fiber hemp is harvested — cleaner, faster and without the need for retting. From there we cross the Susquehanna River into York County to visit Dave Cook at Tuscarora Mills in Red Lion. Dave and his partner Heidi Custer are working to turn Pennsylvania-grown hemp into yarn and fabric. Their mill is full of antique looms and their goal is simple but ambitious: To revive textile production here in the Keystone State using local hemp fiber. It's still early days for a Pennsylvania supply chain, but the work Groff and Cook are doing points toward a future where hemp textiles are grown, processed and woven right here at home.

After three years, we finally have an episode on Pennsylvania wines. I discovered Traminette, a delicious white wine grape, and it was time to press on! Pennsylvania has over 400 wineries! So it's definitely time to talk about them. I responded to this by talking about one grape: Traminette. I talked to George Hazard, co-founder of Juniata Valley Winery, where they only grow Traminette. We talked about growing grapes, making wine, and the versatility of this hybrid grape. I also interviewed by friend Dave Dreese, who you've met before (Dave's an occasional companion on my research runs around the state). Dave's an expert on something I wanted to talk about: dirt roads. They're an overlooked wonder in the Keystone State, there are thousands of miles of them, and they will take you places you couldn't get to otherwise. Well, you know; without hiking, I guess. Fun segment! The Smack Dab In The Centre segment is about the Punkin Chunkin Fall Festival in Howard on October 18th! Gourds fly across the lake! Trebuchets, air cannons, catapults!

Fred Bird and Christian Ragosta are in studio this week to break down the latest wins and challenges in conservation policy and sportsmen's rights, including celebrating major victories with the repeal of Sunday hunting restrictions in both Pennsylvania and Connecticut—a significant milestone for hunters seeking expanded access and opportunities in both, the Keystone State and Nutmeg State. Christian shares insights into how strong legislative support from the Sportsmen's Caucus in Connecticut helped drive these changes across the finish line. But it's not all good news. The conversation turns to Rhode Island, where a controversial “assault weapons” ban has sparked heated debate. Fred and Christian examine the political motivations behind the legislation, the contentious registration requirements, and the ripple effects it could have on conservation funding and non-resident hunting participation. They also discuss the possibility that the law could end up before the Supreme Court. Key Takeaways Sunday Hunting Wins: Pennsylvania and Connecticut have repealed longstanding bans on Sunday hunting—a significant success for sportsmen's access and opportunity. Role of the Sportsmen's Caucus: Christian Ragosta highlights how the Connecticut Sportsmen's Caucus played a crucial role in supporting pro-hunting legislation. Rhode Island's Assault Weapons Ban: Reflects a broader trend of states pursuing similar gun control measures, while it raises concerns about the motivations behind the legislation and its potential impacts on lawful hunters and conservation funding. Non-resident hunters may be particularly affected by new regulations. Ongoing Advocacy is Key: Hunters and conservation advocates must remain vigilant and proactive to protect access and ensure sustainable funding for wildlife and habitat management. Supreme Court Watch: The potential for legal challenges to Rhode Island's law could set significant precedents for sportsmen nationwide.

This week on the Hemp Show we're talking about flax, a fiber plant with remarkable similarities to industrial hemp when grown for textiles. There's a fair amount of flax growing this year in southeastern Pennsylvania. The last time this much flax grew here, tractors hadn't even been invented yet. By the late 1800s flax production was in rapid decline in the Keystone State, pushed out by cheap cotton and forgotten by a country racing toward synthetic fiber — which makes 2025 a special year in Pennsylvania. Thanks to the PA Flax Project, spearheaded by Heidi Barr and Emma de Long, there are 30 acres of flax for fiber production in Chester, Montgomery and Lancaster counties this year. Thirty acres sounds small, but it's a far cry from the eighth of an acre the organization started with in 2022, or the zero acres for generations before that. When they harvest their 30 acres of flax next week, de Long said, this will be the first flax for fiber ever mechanically harvested in Pennsylvania. “When flax became no more in the United States, thanks to cotton and free labor and synthetics, the linen industry was destroyed. And since then, it has mechanized in other parts of the world. So now that we are having a resurgence of growing fiber flax and bringing this industry back, we have imported equipment from Belgium and we're ready to rock and roll,” she said. Barr said the Pennsylvanian Department of Agriculture has been instrumental in helping further the nascent flax industry in the state. “We advocated for and they added fiber flax to Pennsylvania's specialty crop list, which made us eligible for a specialty crop block grant, which we received,” Barr said. The organization also received an Organic Market Development Grant through USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service, which they are using to implement their business plan and scale acreage, educate and support farmers, and to develop a plan for a scutching mill, Barr said. She said the mill will be a worker- and farmer-owned cooperative, based on flax-producing co-ops in Europe. The podcast this week shares a handful of voices from the PA Flax Project's Flax Flower Picnic, held June 14 at Lundale Farm in South Coventry Township, Chester County. In order of appearance on the show, we hear from Emma de Long and Heidi Barr from the PA Flax Project; Natalie Horvath, design director at F. Schumacher and Company, a family-owned textile and interior design powerhouse in New York; Bill Schick, director of agriculture for the PA Flax Project; Mike Roth from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture; Paul Turner, chair of the Department of Theater and Dance at Rowan University; Leslie Davidson from the Pennsylvania Fibershed; and PA Flax Project member Rachel Laramee. After flax, we check in with Dr. David Suchoff from NC State University in North Carolina about the Global Fiber Hemp Summit in Raleigh later this month.

In this chilling episode of the 222 Paranormal Podcast, we take you on a spine-tingling tour of one of America's most haunted states—Pennsylvania. With its rich history, colonial roots, and centuries of folklore, it's no wonder that the Keystone State is teeming with tales of the supernatural. Buckle up as we explore three of the most notorious paranormal hotspots: Eastern State Penitentiary, the abandoned town of Centralia, and the eerie Curse of Centralia First, we dive into the cold, crumbling walls of Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia. Once the most famous and expensive prison in the world, this Gothic-style fortress was built in 1829 and became a model for prison reform. However, its innovative solitary confinement system led to decades of extreme isolation, mental deterioration, and documented reports of abuse. Today, Eastern State is a hotspot for ghost hunters and thrill seekers. Visitors and investigators frequently report shadowy figures, disembodied voices, cell doors slamming shut on their own, and even chilling apparitions. Could the tortured souls of former inmates still walk its haunted halls? Next, we head north to the ghost town of Centralia—a place that quite literally went to hell. Once a bustling coal town, Centralia's fate changed forever in 1962 when an underground mine fire ignited and spread beneath the town, creating a toxic, fiery inferno that still burns today. Smoke billows from cracks in the earth, streets buckle from the heat, and eerie silence blankets the abandoned remains. But beyond the environmental disaster lies a dark legend: the Curse of Centralia. Some believe the fire awakened something ancient—an evil presence long buried beneath the town. Sightings of ghostly figures, phantom voices, and reports of a deep, unsettling dread have given rise to the idea that Centralia isn't just a tragedy—it's cursed. Is it the land itself? A restless energy tied to coal mining or something much older? We discuss theories from Native American lore to modern-day occult connections that suggest Centralia's story is more than just environmental—it might be spiritual. And we'll share real witness accounts from brave souls who've visited Centralia's scorched streets and left forever changed. From prison phantoms to cursed towns swallowed by fire, this episode is packed with the kind of eerie energy that makes your spine tingle.

It has become one of the most intriguing destinations for UFO sightings throughout the years, with tales that date back long before the term “flying saucer” was even coined. From glowing discs hovering over fields, to objects that break the laws of physics, the state's history is filled with encounters that leave you wondering what might actually be out there. And these are not mere passing glimpses; these are encounters that can leave a witness profoundly shaken – altered for life. There's the Carbondale incident, where strange lights in a lake sent people into a panic. There's the experienced aviator who encountered something that decades in the cockpit could not explain. There are numerous accounts of silent craft and disc-shaped objects, eerie lights in the sky — occasions when the stars were blotted out. There are reports of the stopping of time, an encounter that had state troopers speechless, and even an extraterrestrial werewolf-like entity. From the earliest sightings in 1917 through more modern accounts, Pennsylvania's connection to the UFO phenomenon is undeniable, if not unbelievable.
