  • Yes I have been to Ghost towns but the most impressive is not known as a Ghost town . It is now a tourist attraction . Cappadoccia in Turkey, it is an unbelievable place.
  • Frank slide. it was in the Rockey mountains, covered over by an avalanche. would you consider that a ghost town? thats the closest Ive been to one. http://www3.sympatico.ca/goweezer/canada/frank.htm
  • ghost towns as in abandoned towns or as in haunted towns?
  • Yes, I've been to many of them, the large ones, almost tourist spots, and the tiny hidden away ones that take searching to find. We used to have a great book on them and would make it a point to look for them when we lived in the west. We found some old mines too with aging equipment to investigate.
  • We have many homesteads around these Mountain areas that we have happened upon from hunting. Found a lead crystal bowl wrapped inside a velevet piece and under a seating area in an old abandoned cabin. Never had it priced but it don't matter it is priceless to me. To know it was from years gone by. invis.+5
  • There is one here in Connecticut: http://www.legendofdudleytown.com/
  • Madrid, New Mexico is an abandoned coal mining town about 30 miles from my home. I've been there many times. It's in a beautiful mountain setting.
  • I've been to a few but the best one that I've seen or even heard about is the town of Bodie. It's North of Yosemite and South of Tahoe on the California-Nevada border. It's now a state park. The story of the town is that I believe had a silver mine which is still there too, HUGE mining facility on the edge of town. The town had a silver boom and it was rough and tumble place averaged like a murder a day I think. Then the boom died but years later it boomed again so everyone came back. When the second boom died they thought that it'd come back so they left all their shit there. It's all still there cards on the tables in the bar rooms, bottles everywhere, assignment from the day everyone left is on the chalkboard in the school house, they literally just up and left, and it's been undisturbed. There's piles upon piles of old rusted pulltab beercans behind the houses of the heavy drinkers, and supposedly a curse is on the town as well and if you take anything ANYTHING! rock, nail, can, dirt, you'll have bad luck. They get hundreds of envelopes a day from people who have taken and felt the curse. Also one of the most prolific prositutes in the West lived there, and is still buried there in the cemetery, Rosa May. I highly reccomend going there.
  • Vicksburg, Minn. http://wcco.com/findingminnesota/Finding.Minnesota.Vicksburg.2.359165.html
  • There is a town in Birds Illinois, about 40 miles from me that is considered a Ghost Town. The town was hit with a horrific flood in 1996 and FEMA all but bought out the entire town.
  • The first one that comes to mind is Calico, just east of Barstow, Ca. on I-15, on the way to Las Vegas, Nv. You can see it from the highway, but I've never stopped in for a closer look.
  • I've been to several in Nevada including Rhyolite...
  • Calico, California. Album was mad about it by Kenny Rogers and Fifth Edition.
  • I know a few ghost farms here in the mountains, but I've never been in any whole towns.
  • In my city El Paso Texas. I'm petty sure ghost roam here.
  • Calico, CA. Never been there but heard much about it.
  • I found this a while ago. Instead of listing a bunch a places I thought this might help you, a pretty good list of places in the U.S. although I'm sure there are many more... and alot of these are more so buildings then towns. But there are pics and stuff so all and all a pretty neat site. http://www.lostdestinations.com/losthome.htm
  • There's a place called Bear Gap, Pa that I drove through once where about 7 people still live and it was the spookiest, most derelict place I have ever seen. I felt like I was in "Children of the Corn".
  • You can Google "ghost towns of (your state or any other)" and find all sorts of places. I did this in my state and it was really interesting, and in some ways very sad because so little remains of the hopes and dreams of the people who first settled there, as well as those who came later. Anyway, you will learn a lot of local and area history which is otherwise unknown or forgotten by most people.
