I am an avid amateur ghost hunter from the Uniontown Area. While researching haunted places in my area, I found a link to a site that told about "The Gates of Hell" which coincidentally is right near my house. The Gates of Hell are located on Tent Church Road right between Uniontown and Fairchance Pennsylvania. The supposed story of why this place is haunted is there was a couple that resided there, and one day the husband went crazy, killed his wife, set the house on fire, and then took his own life. Many reports have been that of the 2 main spirits living there, one spirit is content being there, but the other spirit is very angry. I decided to check it out with some friends. We went on October 13th, 2007 to see what we could find. We started out at the actual blue gates that guard the pathway to the original foundation of the house. We snapped a couple pictures and talked to the spirits there and eventually started getting orbs (balls of energy) floating above us. We decided to hop the fence (there are no trespassing signs posted...but, hey, we're rebels. haha.). We walked the short pathway to the foundation of the house and started to feel very unwelcome and cold. I moved closer to the foundation while my friends stayed behind. I began snapping pictures near the foundation and got a few orbs and ecto-mists...but then snapped one more picture and captured 2 faces in some ecto-mist. One face looked like it was smiling and one looked very mean.


All in all, my conclusion that this place IS haunted. It was very apparent that we were standing among some heavy vibes....good and bad. I would suggest to anyone NOT to go there alone @ night. If there is any questions that anyone has about this location...feel free to contact me @ bsheree21@yahoo.com OR AIM: dreamsinger60.


Sweet Peace and Happy Hunting!

I first learned about The Gates of hell in the summer of 1992 while riding to Uniontown with my then neighbor he just mentioned that it was haunted back that way(tent church road) and then 12 years later my cousin was living on hay man road and from his backyard you could see tent church road so I ask him if he knew anything about it being haunted down that way and he told me about his experience he had there. So the next day we went down to the gates with a digital cam and started a website about the gates of hell and later added quaker cemetery to it I was just really wanting to experiment with web design which i had recently learned. But pretty soon the gates of hell were not only on line but on the map

I did not do much research before heading out there. A friend and I went one night around 9:30, and parked, and walked past the gates. I thought you were supposed to walk through them to experience something.

We heard strange noises and had a feeling someone was following us.

On our way back we both smelled a strong scent of fresh gunpowder, but heard no gun shots.


It was creepy I guess.
I'll have to go back and just sit in the car next time lol.

by: Anonymous

I went to see this place in daylight hours. I missed the gates the first time, I was on Tent Church Road. It is a very short road, and then I saw the the gates and the "No Trespassing" signs.

Tent Church Road, in general is a scary place, I wouldn't be brave enough to go at night and jump the fence.

starstarstarstarstar 		Nothing to see here
by: Robert

Science has a term for what this mist is...fog. You may see two faces in the fog, but the human face is the easiest thing to pick out of a pattern. This can be done with any random pattern. If you look, you will find faces in you granite countertop, marble or ceramic tiles, clouds in the sky, shadows in the trees, and even a mountain on Mars. My sister just took some similar photos, but in her case, I believe the mist to be nothing more than vapor from her breath. It was cool that the vapor cloud looked like a head at a right side profile of an old man with a large flowing beard. But, as I said, its a familiar form to pull out of a random pattern. Its the human minds subconscious way of making sense out of chaotic patterns.

by: Anonymous

Went there one night with my two buddies, it was about 12:30am. This was in the early 90s,the old big gates were there,so we parked in front of them got out and went in pass the no tresspassing signs we walked for a while really didn't see much but we kept hearing a dog howling the whole time, sounded like it was in pain. Didn't really see anything scarey.

I lived 1 minute up the road from Tent Church. I knew this story when I was young. I've been to the gates before those blue gates were installed. There are no remains of the house, contrary to what some have said. Foundation is overgrown and hard to find. Needless to say, I've seen things and experienced everything from lights, to shadow figures, up to outlines of human figures. Believe what you want, but I know what I've seen. I would say it was my imagination, but not when a friend of mine saw the same human figure in the same place that I did.

by: BJ De Lorenzo

Lived in Colier most of my life...we had an old white house just above the strip mine and we were told of a bright light that used to fly around the strip mine, (just to scare us and keep us from going near the mine). Then one day me and the McDoungh brothers went to the house....John Brown went upstairs to ramsack the place and we heard him scream at first we thought he had hurt himself then we heard him bounding down the old staricase...I was first to look around the corner and what I saw still sticks with me today and I'm 62...A bright orb was chansing John, well he missed about 10 steps and was out the door before I could turn around an follow him...we never looked back and to this day I believe in something..

I just got home from the quaker cemetery and the gates of hell tonight and i had seen, felt, and heard some of the most wild paranormal things i have in my whole life. Taking about 650 pictures of both places left us with some really great photos. Our flashlight started flickering at the same time that we started hearing voices, so we snapped a bunch of pictures getting very heavy patches of smoke around the foundation and above our heads. Very odd feeling of unwelcome there. We also got pictures of the building at quaker cemetery with smoke rising out of the chimneys and a huge BRIGHT oddly shaped light above the building. Definitely both places are very haunted, don't go alone and if you get the feeling your wanted to leave, don't stick around. It was definitely a wild night.
