Created over a coal mine, this city has thrived until early 60s when a fire began. The local population wasn’t bothered at first. However, a decade later, many locals started falling into cracks in pavements that were a result of burning. The town was completely evacuated by local authorities. There are merely 7 people existing in the town today.

What You Need to Know: There are several memorable sights to be enjoyed in town, including destroyed structures, broken down pavements and a fascinating graffiti filled strip of Route 61. The smoke trickling from the town’s ground will always serve as a reminder of its destruction.
