Silent hill movie is somewhat based on Centralia pa, the underground fire is real n still burning till this day people still live there but only like ten people. I live in pa. You can find the full history of it online . There's a lot of haunted places here.
Yeah, I dunno why they threw in that "you should avoid" because there really aren't that many like Centralia or Pripyat that should be avoided. All those desert towns are okay, and the one in France that stands as a memorial is sorta meant to be seen and remembered.
Agree. The title to this video is very misleading. He should've made the list shorter to make the title more accurate, or just call it something like "25 creepy ghost towns". Except for the obvious examples like Centralia and Pripyat, many of the other places in this video are just normal ghost towns that aren't especially dangerous. Some are even advertised for tourists to visit. If people are faint of heart and afraid of "ghosts", they should just stick to safe and sane vacation destinations such as Disney World.
I live in a small village like town in Canada with only 90-110 ppl living around here, it wasn’t always small tho, in the past (1790-1940) the whole town burnt down twice, causes are unknown till this day but it was claimed to be a witches graveyard, the fire caused almost a thousand ppl to move to inner city’s, this place is almost a ghost town if it wasn’t for the rowdy drunks lmao I’ve got a bunch of books from the old town hall here, if anyone would like to look into this let me know I have the records
You do realize that’s exactly what happens in horror movies right? Someone goes hiking/camping alone or with people, and only has that stuff, and they never come back
I saw a movie a while back of a small town that is extremely haunted. It seems that the ghosts inhabit the town's vehicles and cause the roads to be destroyed at strange times, only for them to be in perfect condition within a few days. Whatever you do, don't go to Radiator Springs!!! I've been to Terlingua Texas. Kind of a must for geochemistry students.
Bad phrasing on Tawergha, he means the pre civil war population cannot return due to the anti-Qaddafi militia that subjected them to that treatment and ethnic cleansing for supporting Qaddafi during the first civil war still being active in the area.
I was gonna say the same thing. I've been to Rhyolite and there's no reason to avoid it. There really isn't much structure to it left. Just a few skeletons of buildings left from an old desert town from long ago.
It took me a minute to realize that he said St. Mary's, Maryland. I've never heard of that haunted location and now I wanna go there if it's in my hometown. Just like the Blair Witch. :3
What about Dudleytown? It's America's oldest and most haunted ghost town. It's either located in Upstate NY or CT. I went there once and was creeped out by the lack of noise. There were no birds, insects, or wild animals anywhere
I see a lot of people asking why you can't or shouldn't visit. It's all safety. Chernobyl is still radioactive. A lot of the other ones have buildings that could easily be pushed over by hand. Centralia is still toxic, it can cause respiratory issues that you wouldn't want. It's all SAFETY, would you want your kids playing in these places? No? Then why should you? If you choose to then by all means please use plenty of safety gear and research the specific places or buildings to know you won't be crushed if it falls
Pripyat ukrane looks so cool. From what I understand you CAN visit that place but it's not recommended. You can have someone show you around. A lot of these places i'd like to explore but probably shouldn't.
There is no need to avoid Kolmanskop, but you do have to arrange a tour rather than go on your own. I have been there once many years ago and I'd go back again given half the chance. It is being preserved and is a tourist attraction and even has a museum. Tours can be booked in Luderitz. Of course it is eerie and a bit creepy but still wonderful.
Not sure why most of these should be avoided. The ones that are super-unstable or may or may not have old diseases still lingering, but places where they offer tourism or that just have a nasty history? Why should they be avoided?
Jace Hodges Safety issues. Chernobyl is still radioactive, Lots of old buildings in the rest of them that could be easily pushed over by hand, Centralia is still toxic from the mine fire and can cause respiratory issues big time. It's all a matter of safety
Well for most they're spooky. And for a more practical reason, as I mentioned to someone else, they're abandoned, and abandoned places aren't known for being very well up-kept. They could be dangerous to go inside.
I saw on Josh Gates Destination Truth that Atacomma desert mining town one. The grave yard has visible skeletons laying around in it. Scary and it's a bitch to get to,thus get back out of when the phantoms appear.
Wow, an exceptional compilation! I have heard of perhaps half of the places on your list. But I must say that you have presented a perfectly measured, worldwide survey of the most intriguing ghost towns. Top marks for crafting short but utterly compelling portraits of each spot. Eerie snapshots layered with their most disturbing & distinguishing FACTS, thank you very much, stamp each indelibly upon ones memory. Truly outstanding work! I'm sold, subscribed and signed on for notifications. How's the air up there amongst the worthy few, atop the pile of so many, so so, though sincere endeavours?!?! Peace, Regan 🌈 from NorCal
"Creepy, eerie, and, quite frankly, dangerous & unstable." I'm pretty sure I dated her once. ;-) BTW, how could you leave off Bodie, California? The Curse of Bodie? "Goodbye God. We're moving to Bodie"? That's classic Old West gold! Just don't try to take any with you when you leave, not if you know what's good for you anyway!
My family owns about 3/4 of a ghost town in Montana it was called Laredo Montana. It wasn't very big but did have a pool hall, bar, Bank, couple shops, and a pair of grand elevators. Which my great-grandfather worked at and live right across from in his own little house. The town was not haunted but just died out due to the lack of progress as well as mostly people centering around a larger hubs like Havre which is where we mostly go now for our Major town. The rail line that went through Laredo is now abandon and she used for storage by Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad.
Is Imber on there? It was evacuated in WW2 for use as street fighting training. They were supposed to come back but they never did. Once a year, descendents of the original inhabitants attend a church service in the old town.
Kilamba New City has NOT been a ghost town since 2015. Since then, its population grew to over 80,000 and this list dates from 2018, so you guys have no excuse for putting it on this list
Imber Wiltshire , England being on Sailsbury Plains and miles away from any other town or village it was slowly bought by the Ministry of Defence . In 1943 the MOD evicted the 150 remaining residents so that American troops could train there in preparation for the invasion of Europe . It's currently used by British armed forces for training purposes . You definitely don't want to visit this place because you might get shot .
Great video. One minor correction: there was no "unlucky" involved with Pripyat being the closest city to Chernobyl, as it was expressly built to house the workers of the nuclear facility as well as their families. Carry on!
Terrible click bait title as video doesn't tell you specifically why you should avoid each place aside from pa which is skewed info at best. Pripyat you don't even mention the radiation levels still standing. Poorly researched, Michigan alone has over 25 ghost towns with dangerous traps and..... Smh.
Parrot Hill ,USA:where the water is polluted by Mercury tails used for getting gold out of rock. Semitre , Brazil: abandoned mining town silver mine water and ground so polluted that no one who cares for their health would go anywhere near there and the government have banned travel to the area . All roads to the place have been destroyed but dirt roads are Avaidable to use via 4wD vechiles . Wouldn't go there if you paid me but know people who have the buildings are brilliantly in good shape for the years they've been left but apparently the air smells metallic and tastes funny. That's not such a good sign. Kylarger, Germany: town built purely for worker from the local ww2 Nazi concentration camp nearby. The camp is now a museum and the town remains are the town hall and a shop and two homes. They aren't in great shape and the whole area just feels wrong. It's spooky as hell . Staying nearby at another bigger close town no one wanted to talk much about Kylarger and locals mostly avoid the place unless their empolyed at the museum.
I think you guys should stop putting CAPS lock in your titles ... random i know, but I think you'd get more clicks... and since I love this channel, thats something I'd like to see :)
Man, I live in Bozeman Mt. And have been to Virginia City, multiple times. It's not a ghost town, it's just a small town. I know people that are from there. It has an operational post office and everything.
you ever watch japan old 1950-60s movie the sounds track didn't match as their lips move say ssomething? yes same here in this video they don't match with your talking about or lips move ether! lmfao
Is Bodie dangerous?, it is the biggest ghost town in California and the National Park Service doesn't touch the buildings to keep them "authentic", they make you drive on the ORIGINAL dirt road.Still, it is really cool, pretty, and the staff say it isn't haunted.
Everyone said we were daft to build a capital on a swamp in Alabama, but we built one all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So we built a second one and that one sank into the swamp. So we built a third. That burned down, fell over, and then sank into the swamp. We decided to move to Montgomery, after that.
I live near boston mills its a joke for urban exploring if you like skiing or hiking its for you. They also have a train that you can ride thats pretty cool as well.
Nice video. Thanks for posting. fyi, there is no such thing as the state of Nevodda. It is Nevada and pronounced just like you spell it, with "ad" in the middle, not "odd" in the middle.
I was born and raised in Terlingua. The ghost town there is not a ghost town even though it holds the name. It's a tourist attraction, the cemetary is a historical monument. It's a cool place full of crazy locals, the views are amazing from the cemetary and the town.
I was kinda hoping for more of an explanation as to *why* these places should be avoided, but alas. I understand the ones that have structural instabilities, but the ones that are just abandoned and left there? Why? Is it haunted? What's going on?
Can you do a "25 lies about the Catholic church atheists believe" Lie no. 1 you believe is: chapters one and two are two completely different creation stories that contradict each other!
There's a story I think ya should hear. In Honduras there was this guy who knew how to make money for the kids. He made it outta regular paper. He would put the paper in his mouth then do something to he hurts him as he makes it, sometimes it come out wrong , it will sometimes come out bloody. One night the kids followed this who makes money he would go to the cementary going from the grave to grave. The man notice the children when he chased him off he face change almost demon like
#4 then Ukraine ,because of Chernobyl,people had to leave behind a brand new amusement park which was just built right before the disaster, the rides were never used, not even once.
Oradour sur Glane is not a place to avoid. Charles DeGaulle had the old town preserved as a memorial to the dead and an eternal reminder of the horror of the Nazi's. Tourists are allowed inside the old village and there is a visitors center a short distance away. A new town was reconstructed further down the road to replace the old one.
I am surprised Dudleytown was not mentioned. It may be because the local police won't let people go there anymore. It is considered trespassing to be there and trespassers are arrested.
Maybe number 10’s Fire is a Silurian warmth pit from Doctor Who... Bum ba ba bum, bum ba ba bum, bum ba ba bum, bum bum bum bum, bum ba ba bum, bum ba ba bum, ba bum bum bum!
