Ghost towns and abandoned places

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone else here fascinated by them? Some day I want to visit Pripyat. Also I'm intrigued by Aokigahara, the Suicide Forest in Japan. Post your thoughts and pictures of abandoned places here!

My town has one of the most haunted places in the U.S it's an abandoned T.B hospital looming over the local park. Deaths were so often they had to make a hidden tunnel to carry out all the corpses.

Here is a picture

Or another disturbing place is in Mexico called the "Island of Dolls" there tons of tattered old decrepit dolls hang from trees and there is an odd altar to whatever haunts the island.

I love ghost towns Especially Pripyat. If they can ever prove without a doubt that I won't get sick from visiting it, I will run straight there! I like any derelict buildings really. Check this out:

Now can anyone tell me why that picture isn't working?

I love ghost towns but it's sad at the same time. Life After People also shows ghost towns and towns that have lot of abandon places. They even show abandoned sites.

I just googled it and it's AMAZING So eerie!





The ghost that haunts it, is a young girl who drowned nearby. A man named Julian Santana decided to honour her memory with dolls and that altar. Also he grew vegetables so locals used to bring dolls to the island and swap them for fresh produce.

That hospital also looks really creepy

It says that it's a broken link. Maybe try posting it again?

I'm gonna visit the places mentioned on that website; I live in London

I wouldn't mind getting sick from going to Pripyat tbh. Life is short, might as well make the most of it

Around where one of my friends lives, there is an old abandoned quarry. It became a swimming hole, then was later abandoned again after too many people drove their cars into it to commit suicide. They never were able to get all the cars out, plus there is likely a few suicides whose bodies were never recovered because the water is too murky.
The whole area is fenced in, and you can see a structure or two left standing from when it was a place to swim.

Also there are lots of abandoned buildings in the nearby town of Coatesville, most of these are boarded up. I wish I could explore these, but Coatesville has a lot of crime, not sadly it's not safe to do so.

For those who live outside of the US, there is a place in Michigan that is very nearly a ghost city!
Just about an entire city (Detroit, I think it is) that almost nobody lives in anymore. Skyscrapers, office buildings, shops, houses etc, exempt of people. It was a town who's major income was building automobiles, so when these plants went overseas to decrease cost, the city pretty much died.
There are a few pockets of people who still live there, but that's it. When the house prices all over the country dropped 1-2 years ago from the National Recession, you could buy a Detroit house for as little as a dollar after it made their prices hit rock bottom.
In some of the skyscrapers, you can see moss growing in the carpeting (even in some of the top floors!), they have been unused for so long.

I love ghost towns. I'd love to live in a ghost town.

I like to during the summer roam around Pine Mountain and I stumbled upon an old abandon camp ground or something it's very eerie especially this old playground.

If only those location could talk I'd hear a good story or two.

That building does look creepy. Where exactly is it?

Here in my Home Town Paris Kentucky

I know that place! I was fascinated with it for a while and then I forgot its name. I knew it was in KY, then I saw you were from Lexington. That is the one with the tunnel underground for body transport, right? Soooo eerie!

For some odd reason Kentucky has at least 2 haunted Hospitals from the T.B break outs.

Many believe KY to be the most haunted state due to those places and the civil war.

Looks a bit Silent Hilly.
