Deep down in the heart of Alabama lies ruins of two different ghost towns stacked on top of each other, two ghost towns with long, surprising histories. Take a look at Cahaba, Alabama.

Thank you for your video. What ultimately brought Cahaba (Cahawba) to its demise was its location. The Alabama and Cahaba Rivers kept flooding the town.

The town started to wither after the war. The railroad key to the town's early success ceased after the war and later the county seat & courthouse moved from Cahawba to Selma.

Went here once. The only place on earth that ever creeped me out worse was being in Londons East End. There is a bad vibe around Cahaba and I think there were more reasons for people fleeing than flooding. Back in the 80's I talked to an old man that was raised there and I asked him what happened and he said I don't really want to talk about it. Whatever it was seemed painful. Had a friend who did a long Cahaba River canoe trip and decided to overnight camp in Cahaba when they got there and he said he would never visit that place again as long as he lived.

Wild! It was spooky.

I just recently stumbled on this video and it's very well made. I do want to say thank you for mentioning the Sultana Disaster in your video. a great great great grandfather of mine spent time in Cahaba, was on board the Sultana and lived to tell the tale. I visited Cahaba in 2018 and would love to visit again

Cahaba really caught my interest recently, just like it did with Cairo Illinois, and with limited photographic evidence to show what Cahawba really looked like as a city during its golden age, it really requires a lot of imagination to picture what the city as a whole would have looked like, some would say that it was an underdeveloped elitist town mainly established as a farming town, with only one mansion per every block, however, I did see photos of old Cahaba having a 2-story Hotel and even a long strip of abandoned shops that were boarded up, with the northern half of the strip torn down revealing the inner wall, and even old photos of Mansions that are already abandoned but still maintain its architectural significance. I would just imagine how Cahaba would look like if the town was still alive today.

So many of these sort of towns!!

@kidkuala24 Год назад

Just watching this now! Great video! I would like to visit one day.

@dmh2k7 3 года назад

Really fantastic job. I'd love to see a full length (or at least longer) documentary on the subject. This video is criminally under-viewed and liked. Hope I can help with this comment.

@KyleSullivan 3 года назад

Wow, thank you!

@MattAnderson-tk8th Месяц назад

My family had a deer hunting and fishing camp there until 2008

@timothywalker4563 Год назад

Nice job this video was well produced for a few seconds I thought I was at a state park watching a film. Got any more 😊

@KyleSullivan Год назад

I do!

@pawned79 3 года назад

Fantastic! I grew up in Birmingham, live in Huntsville, and I learned a lot. My wife’s from Oklahoma and she said this was really fascinating. Good job!

Thanks for sharing!

@TheDrEinhorn 3 года назад

Great video as always, Kyle! I'd love to see more content about pre-European-contact Southeast. Have you though about going to Moundville and speaking with the curators there once travel is a bit more doable?

@KyleSullivan 2 года назад

Absolutely! I have been thinking about and will do it!
