10 Real Haunted Ghost Towns to See in America!
Want to visit a REAL ghost town? Spooky abandoned post-apocalyptic villages aren’t just the stuff of movies - there are plenty right here in America, and some are said to be haunted!
1. Bodie, California
This National Historic Landmark is a perfectly preserved example of the late nineteenth century gold mining towns of California. Rumor has it, any visitor who tries to sneak off with an artifact from this ghost town will be cursed with bad luck!
2. St. Elmo, Colorado
St. Elmo was a lively mining center with a booming population of 2000 until the local railroad closed down. Apparently, the ghost of former resident Annabelle Stark keeps watch over the town.
3. Centralia, Pennsylvania
Centralia is home to 10 stubborn people who refuse to move and was the main inspiration for the horror movie Silent Hill. A mine fire which has been burning under the town since 1962 has caused most residents to leave over the years.
4. Bannack, Montana
With a thriving population of 10,000 it was nicknamed the New Eldorado by the hopeful prospectors. It also once had an outlaw gang leader as its sheriff. Each July, there’s a re-enactment festival celebrating the town’s former glory.
5. Cahawba, Alabama
Cahawba was once the capital of Alabama but today is an archeological park open to visitors. You can wander around and view the many abandoned streets and ruins of this formerly important governmental center.
6. Rhyolite, Nevada
First established as a mining camp near Death Valley in 1905, Rhyolite saw its peak during the American gold rush. It’s a great testament of the boom and bust cycle of this era.
7. Terlingua, Texas
Once a district of mining villages, today a ghost town, reduced to several closed mines and many abandoned industrial facilities, businesses and homes. However there’s still a working saloon for those seeking the authentic Old West experience.
8. Oatman, Arizona
Located in the Black Mountains it became famous when 10 million dollars worth of gold was discovered in the area. Wild burros now roam the streets and gunfights are staged on the weekends.
9. Glenrio, Texas
Formerly known as Rock Island it was a railway town which fell into disuse when Interstate 40 bypassed the community in 1973. Visit the Phillips 66 Service Station and other once-busy buildings that are now ghosts of their former glory.
10. Kennecott, Alaska
One of the most remote ghost towns in America, is an old copper mining town. Virtually abandoned since the Depression in the 1930’s, it now has guided tours allowing visitors to explore the abandoned buildings frozen in time…

Alaska Public Lands Information Center Museum in Anchorage Tour (4K)
We toured the Alaska Public Lands Information Center in Anchorage. This is actually a nice museum and free to get in. We heard it about it from our guide in the Alaska City Trolley Tour (see our video on that here: )
Interestingly it is actually a Federal building so you must submit to a security screening process similar to one you would undertake nowadays at an airport. The exhibits were pretty realisitic and informative. There is also a theater where you can watch short (~15 minutes) informational/educational features regarding Alaska.
There was even a scavenger hunt for kids where they can get a small prize.
The Alaska Public Lands Information Center was a short walk away from where we were dropped off from a free Port of Anchorage shuttle. This was from our June 2017 14 day Alaska Cruise aboard the Holland America Amsterdam. =======================

Valdez, Alaska
Now that our Alaska Tour caravan has completed, four families decided to travel home together! Our first night was boondocking (dry camping) along the road just north of Anchorage. The following day we turned south and headed to Valdez, Alaska!
The 100 mile drive into Valdez took us past numerous spectacular vistas that we had to stop at and take pictures! In Valdez we found a beautiful campground nestled amongst towering glacial & snow covered mountains! I was able to take multiple quadcopter flights to capture the beauty!

Alaska Ferry System - Marine Highway Ferry Bellingham Information
The Alaska Ferry also known as the Alaska Marine Highway Ferry System services over 30 locations and links the great state of Alaska with the lower 48 states with weekly service to Bellingham Washington.
The the Alaska Ferry arrives each friday morning it is greeted by Bellingham Residents at the Bellingham Cruise Terminal in the city's Fairhaven district. The Alaska Ferry can carry 88 cars and approximately 500 passengers. The ferry is more about transportation than luxury but there is still a cafeteria, and cocktail lounge. The Alaskan Ferries that make overnight trips typically have guest cabins available at an additional charge but in summer months many passengers choose to just pitch a tent on the upper decks or sleep under the stars in a sleeping bag.

20150803: Day 57, Embarking M/V Kennicott at Whittier, AK
Monday, 3 August 2015, day 57 of our Alaska road trip. We ended our road trip touring Alaska after visiting Seward, AK...staying at two different campgrounds there; Seward Alaska Resort and Stoney Creek RV Campground. We departed Stoney Creek Campground on the 3rd of August at 11:30am and after travelling through the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel we arrived at Whittier by 1:45pm that day.
We had contacted Viking Tours in our attempts to book passage on an Alaska Marine Highway Ferry travelling to Bellingham, WA to avoid the long ride back home over the Alcan Highway, which we travelled to Alaska in the first place. This effort resulted thankfully in gaining passage aboard the Kennicott on the 3rd of August out of Whittier, AK. Seems that folks book their Ferry tours about a year in advance, tough on spontaneous travelers! We had to wait until the 20th of June for confirmation we would be able to ride the boat to Bellingham due to others having cancelled their trip! Yes! There was room! When asked about cabin selection...2-berth or 4-berth...logic dictated that given there were only two of us that we should select a 2-berth cabin. It was only later, and prior to boarding the Ferry, we discovered 2-berth cabins did not include a private bathroom...only the 4-berth cabins provided that luxury! After boarding the Kennicott, and during our initial visit with the Ferry's Purser, we were able to upgrade to a 4-berth cabin (and a private bathroom)...the last one available! Life was good!
We found a place in Whittier near the Alaska Marine Highway's (AMH) terminal office where we could park with our trailer. We could not check in prior to 5:00pm. We elected to tour the small town, sampled seafood from a local restaurant, and visited several of the small shops. We'd visited Whittier several weeks earlier while camping at JBER Richardson's RV campsite near Anchorage, AK, during which time we also visited Whittier's museum featuring WWII artifacts. Well worth the visit!
Around 6:30pm or so we decided to impound our Tahoe and Trailer in the AMH's fenced in staging area...once having done so our vehicles were committed to boarding the Ferry when it showed up.
The AMH Ferry, M/V Kennicott, docked around 8:46pm. Boarding began shortly after it disgorged its contents of bikes, motorcycles, cars, buses, trucks, and passengers on foot up the long gangplank to dry land.
I was concerned having learned that we must back our vehicles into the ferry! We were towing a 25' long trailer behind our 17' Tahoe. The trailer has somewhat of a short tongue making it sensitive to movements when backing up! At 10:50pm (notice it's still daylight?) with the help and assistance of several Kennicott crew members we were able to successfully navigate the trailer onto the ferry's car deck, about a tenth of a mile journey from the parking lot...ending with a big sigh of relief on my part! Nadine managed to capture this 11-minute event on video!
By 11:07pm we had successfully positioned our RV on the Car Deck and got the dogs settled in the trailer. Of course...they wanted to join us in our cabin, but dogs aren't allowed on the Cabin Deck. It would be 8 hours before we'd get to visit with them again during a dog potty call.
By 11:45pm we were heading out into the bay, looking for our first stop at Yakutat, AK.
