ITT Ghost towns you've been to

This one is more of a ghost shack really, but I think it applies because my map made no distinction between small towns and ghost towns. Picture isn't mine though.

Who owns the land ghost towns occupy? The government? Could a secret hideout be created in these ghost towns?

I don't get it with Amerikaners. Why can't they just move out all their 'homeless' people out to ghost towns? Just leave 'em some basic materials, cash, some appointed local government types and a sheriff plus deputies.

That place. I had the "pleasure" of going there a few years ago.There is one grocery store, a Hardees, and a gas station. When the sun goes down people will hurry in their houses like those things from Pitch Black come out at night. If you aren't from around there or you enunciate they look at you like you're an alien too. I saw no one under the age of 50 either.

I would love this, then faggots in Richmond would stop begging at the stop lights for money.

Fayette, Michigan. It's a state park, it pretty much exists to be a ghost town

Centralia got that way by a mine fire that I think might be still burning below it (it started 40 years ago). At one point some kid fell into a 150 foot deep sinkhole that opened up beneath him.

This inspired Silent Hill. If you've ever wondered what caused those giant holes in the roads, this is what inspired it. There is no actual reason for it in the game itself though so don't go thinking there are mine fires in Silent Hill.

Colorado is full of ghost towns (or partial ghost towns), because from 1870 - ~1900 there were many rushes (as in a Gold Rush) to various parts of the state where gold/silver/other was found, and people moved to where profit was being made (either by mining or by supplying the miners), leaving behind lots of towns that were once large, but then abruptly shrank as a new discovery was made elsewhere, or the mines became less profitable. A few of these towns found success later as tourist destinations (ie: Breckenridge, Black Hawk), but there are lots of towns up in the mountains that have many structures, but very few inhabitants.

Picture related, Leadville.
