This website has some really AWESOME pictures of ghost towns in the Western US. I was just stumbling around and came across information about mines and wound up somehow looking at pictures of ghost towns,,, this website is truly amazing if you like history and pictures of old stuff!  www.ghosttowngallery.com/ |

I know me too, I was looking at that website for a few hours last night! It is so very cool... I was wishing there was a ghost town in Florida that I could visit,,, but I dont think there was any gold rush down here in the swamp LOL! I love looking at old pictures and reading about history, it just totally facinates me! There was another website that I came across last night about a coal mine in Pennsylvania, that was set on fire yin the 1960's and it is still burning underground today... They wound up having to evacuate a big town... Here is the link you can read about it... It's just like wild,,, makes you feel like a little speck of dust in the Universe when you read about history and stuff like this... www.offroaders.com/album/centralia/centralia.htm |

I have been to several Ghost Towns in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Very interesting! My parents used to take us to visit them when I was a kid. I will have to check out the site when I get home. Thanks Star!

i think there are a couple here, actually. i'll tell ya something interesting: when i was a kid, i used to have this recurring dream of being in a large mansion. old fashioned, like late 1800's or so, right. the dream wasn't the important thing to me, but the house was. very awesome, three stories.........i had every detail of it in my mind, down to how the staircases out front went from the top to the bottm. very cool, antibellum. when i was a few years older, i was looking through this book "mississippi mansions"...........claimed to be haunted. lo! the house was in it!! i was totally overwhelmed and shocked. it was the exact house!! every detail. i was so stoked. lol. i need to find that book again and see if i can't find that one and visit it. that would be very cool to me.

Ok, in Idaho I have been to Custer, Idaho City, Dewey and Silver City. In Montana I have been to Bannack, Virginia City and Nevada City. I had no idea there were so many! I think Elkhorn MT is near where I am going Sunday rockhounding. I need to do more ghost town visiting. They are amazing places, very eery. Some are commercialized like Virginia City and Nevada City. They are interesting, but the energy isn't the same. I remember liking Bannack the best. It has been preserved, but not commercialized. It feels like there are all these spirits there. Wow, what a trip down memory lane for me, makes me want to go visit those places again. Thank you for posting this, very cool!

Your welcome, I am glad you like it I would love to visit some place like that, when I was a kid my grandparents used to take all of their grandkids camping in the smokey mountains. We saw mines, caverns and I remember this old town that was like a reenactment of sometime back in the 1800's it wasnt a ghost town but it was really cool. It was in the mountains... I know what you mean being a trip down memory lane and all |

Hey Star...not quite the same thing (I don't think) But when mom lived in Florida, they took us to a park, I'll see if I can find the name (they lived 30 minutes west of Orlando) Where there was a tower that played organ music without anyone in the building. I really can't remember all of it. Diana would know...it really got her.
Then there way a place called Spook Hill. There was a big dip in the road. I you put your call in the middle of it (like a little valley) Put you car in neruteral and it would start moving backwards...it really happened...

Well, it isn't really a hill, more like a little hill. I'll have to look it up and let you know.
