Dogtown, Cape Ann, MA



Bill Way:
After the Revolution, the many widows in the "Common Settlement" (now Gloucester) MA moved inland to avoid piracy and crime, and many got dogs for protection. The last survivors were moved to poorhouses in the early 1800s, leaving just the dogs. All that remains are some "cellar holes" lined with stonework, and these boulders, which were carved in the 1930s.

Volubolis, Morocco



Volubolis, Morocco--the farthest south the Roman Empire got, the outpost that supplied fierce beasts for the Games, and that was abandoned after the expansion of Islam into Morocco. Eerie and wonderful, includes some fantastic floor mosaics

Bannack, Montana



Bannack, Montana. A ghost town thankfully preserved by Montana's State Park division. Over 50 intact buildings to explore. The gallows still stands, and bullet holes are still in the walls.

Mogollon, in the southwest New Mexico



Part ghost town and part quiet retreat, Mogollon (pronounced "muggy - own") is a historic jewel perched in the Mogollon Mountains of southern Catron County, just north of Grant County and Silver City. Formed as a mining camp and later as a mining community, Mogollon's hills still bear witness to the heavy work of hard-rock mining underground: Mine shafts, rails for mine trains, sluices, abandoned buildings and the ruins of head frames still dot the landscape. Never attempt to enter mine ruins, shafts, buildings or other properties. More at www.silvercityacd.org.

Centralia, Pennsylvania



The site of a coal fire that's been burning underground since the late 1960s, Centralia has fewer than a dozen residents today and has even had its zip code revoked by the postal service.
