Abandoned Places In The World

Anyone near virginia I am going to make a trip to a "ghost town" that is only accessible via 4x4. Doesn't look like much, just some chimneys and foundations left but I think it would be fun wheeling to get there

 

yeah Camp Edwards down in the Cape is like that, underground empty silos. Freaky.

We also have empty mountaintop empty Air Radar Base about 20 miles north of me. It helped Plattsburg AFB across the lake. Now both are history. The radar base is falling apart & Plattsburg has never been the same.

 

Hashima Island in Japan

 

Ever watch the show

That's where I saw Hashima Island. Great show.

 

Byberry (Philedelphia State Mental Hospital)

Never been there after it was abandondend but a local radio station held a haunted house there for halloween. Having the haunted house there added to the ghostly lure of the place.

 

Here's a website you may be interested in...

Site worked for me today, great site. I found airports that I remember as a little kid that have been gone for years.

Hey where is that "ghost town" in Va?

 

Roanoke. There is tons of cool stuff like that down here

 

I could spend hours looking at stuff like this. Here are a few good ones:

-Also look up " The Borscht Belt" in upstate new york. TONS of abandoned luxury hotels. The area used to be a summer retreat for New York Jewish families but fell out of popularity. Mostly abandoned now.

 

theres a bunch of abandoned houses and stuff in Adelanto, CA near the Federal Prison.. Looks creepy

 

I love stuff like this, even though its depressing in a way. To think that eventually everything could end up abandoned and decaying.

 

There is an abandoned mental hospital in Norwich Ct. that I drive by every day. Over 400 acres and probably 40 or 50 buildings. Been empty 10 years or more and it's starting to fall apart. I'll try to get some pics into TW Live next time I go by.

 

Wow, it's amazing how many abandoned places there are all over. For some reason it suprises me that there's as many as there are in the US. Not sure why really.

Anybody know of anything in Colorado?

 

Here are some more places

Chernobyl. Everyone evacuated one day. For good reason.

We were talking about it in the PA thread, but it never went anywhere. Cindy and I would be up for it, once we get settled in the new house.

 

Long story short, I found an interesting feature on a satellite image, went exploring and wound up finding an abandoned, closed highway. Pics tomorrow

 

Where's that at? I grew up in MT and I've never heard of it, if it's close enough maybe I'll make a trip out of checking it out next time I'm home.

Bannack State Park in MT is a pretty cool ghost town, if a little tourist-ized. http://www.ghosttowngallery.com/htme/bannack.htm
