NounPlural ghost towns ghost town (plural ghost towns)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A ghost town is a town or city that has been completely abandoned by human inhabitants, usually because the economic activity that supported it has failed, or due to natural or human-caused disasters such as flood, government action, uncontrolled lawlessness or war. The term is sometimes used in a depreciative sense to include cities, towns, and neighborhoods which, while still populated, are significantly less so than in years past. Some ghost towns are tourist attractions, among them Tombstone, Arizona; Jerome, Arizona; Oatman, Arizona; Bannack, Montana; Kolmanskop and Elizabeth Bay, outside Lüderitz, Namibia. This is especially true of those that preserve interesting architecture. Visiting, writing about, and photographing ghost towns is a minor industry. Some ghost towns may be overgrown, difficult to access, and dangerous or illegal to visit. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I'm a big fan of ghost towns, absolutely love the history. But does anyone know of any decent ones to visit while in Colorado? I'm not looking for one building that's ancient and then the rest a modern town. I'm looking more for like a full fledged abandoned old town. Any ideas? Any good places you have been to visit? Thanks a million! Asked by squintsmcgee - Sun Aug 20 13:53:47 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. St. Elmo is a pretty awesome place. Lots of stories of it being haunted too. But if you're ever in Montana, head over to Dillon and find "Bannack Ghost Town". It's preserved from the 1860's and it was CREEEPY. Absolutely awesome, definitely worth a day trip.
