Ghost towns come in many shapes and forms. Some
are barely bumps in the encroaching earth. Others are collections
of falling down buildings, some are still occupied by a few people, and
some have more visitors and merchants during the day than they had
population during their booms. Here are some of the towns, and
some web sites with more. If you'd like us to add a town, please
