Exploring Drake Well Ghost town Pithole, Pa

Pithole City Site of the Oil Boom of 15,000 Est. 1865 and a Ghost Town by 1868

Drake Marries Philena Adams on December 16, 1845. Their first son, Arthur, was born in 1847, but he died a little over a year later. A second son was born in 1849, but he, too, only lived a few months. Shortly after Philena passed.

Drake re-married three years later to Laura Dowd, sixteen years his junior, in 1857.

Following his famous oil discovery, Drake became a justice of the peace in 1860 before illness would force him to quit and leave Pennsylvania. After several years of financial hardship, Drake and his family returned to Titusville with little money and with his health failing. In 1873, residents convinced the general assembly to provide the family an annual $1,500 pension.

Drake died in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, on November 9, 1880. His remains were later moved to the Woodlawn Cemetery in Titusville. In 1902, Standard Oil Executive Henry Rogers commissioned a statue for his burial site. A monument – including the bronze statue by Charles Henry Niehaus – was dedicated on October 4, 1901.

We are a paranormal group from Erie, PA and is dedicated to finding the reason a person may think they have paranormal activity. We use modern state of the art equipment, and explore all possibilities from faulty electrical, to pipes banging in your walls. We believe, but we will rule out all other possibilities before we come to the conclusion that your place of business, or residence is active, or haunted. but want to approach this in a scientific way.
