CENTRALIA - The stories of the current and former residents of Centralia will be part of a new documentary in the works.



from a curse put upon the town by a priest dating back to the 19th century, to a group of Irish immigrants who were using terrorist acts in an attempt to control the commerce of the time, to a gruesome murder-suicide, or having the largest plane crash in aviation history before the 1950s, to name just a few of the happenings to befall Centralia."


Bethlehem native Lys Sparrow, 35 has been working for six months with cameraman Felix Anthony Jimenez on the 90-minute documentary entitled "ZIP CODE 00000: What Happened in Centralia?" She returned to the borough Nov. 22, and plans to return Saturday and Sunday for additional interviews.
"I have an open call to residents and ex-residents so I can talk with them and hear their stories," said Sparrow, who hopes to get permission to use the municipal building for that purpose.
