Have you ever been to a ghost town?

I suppose the tiny village of Tyneham in East Dorset (S. English coast) might be described as that, but it's normally described as simply "abandoned".

It lies in a large area commandeered for Army training at the start of WW2, and government promises to return it to its residents after the War were just ignored.

It is not in the firing area but in the safety area around the tank-gunnery ranges themselves; and along with the beach at Worbarrow Bay about a mile or so beyond can be visited on most weekends and Bank Holidays.

The school and I think church have been preserved intact but the cottages are just empty, mainly roofless shells. (Not sure about the church, or if it had one - it's been years since I last visited it.)

Ironically had it been returned it would likely now be a new sort of "ghost village": the sort consisting of nothing but second-homes and holiday-cottages owned by well-off Londoners or letting-agents.

......

There is another, Imber, on Salisbury Plain but not accessible to the public and most likely a complete ruin.

Yes. In Colorado where they used to film the old western movies. It was really cool. You got to walk in the church and the saloon and everything and see the way things looked back then.

No.

I am still living.

Hi I'm Geri

Where I was born and raised in Southern Ontario Canada, there are more ghost towns left over from the oil boom which began in the 1800's than are found in the entire USA.
