Author Max Furryk Discusses Coal Region Hoodoo & Paranormal Tales

Recently, I came across an interesting video from the YouTube channel Strange Familiars, where the host, Tim, interviews Maxim Furyk about his new book, "Coal Region Hoodoo: Paranormal Tales from Inside the Pit." The book, published by Beyond The Fray press, is a collection of paranormal anomalies in the coal region of Pennsylvania. During the interview, Maxim talks about the coal region hoodoo, a term that stems from Voodoo but can be both a blessing and a curse. He also discusses the Shepton mining disaster and the strange occurrences surrounding it, including allegations of cannibalism and the disappearance of one of the miners. Maxim also shares his excitement about the book's resonance on Amazon and the positive feedback he has received at book signings. He and Tim will be giving separate talks at the Redland Community Library in Etters, Pennsylvania, where they will discuss their research and answer questions from the audience. One of the topics Maxim touches on in his book is the Philadelphia Experiment, a bizarre account from 1943 where the USS Eldridge was allegedly teleported from Philadelphia to Norfolk, Virginia, and back, with some crew members experiencing severe burns, confusion, and even death. The story has been the subject of three motion pictures and a documentary, and it continues to be a topic of interest and speculation. Overall, the interview is a fascinating discussion about paranormal occurrences in Pennsylvania and beyond. If you're interested in learning more about the coal region hoodoo, the Shepton mining disaster, or the Philadelphia Experiment, be sure to check out Maxim's book and the Strange Familiars video.
