10 Haunting Ghost Towns From Around The World

This town is coming like a ghost town. This town is coming like a ghost town€ Only someone who'd grown up in Coventry could have written a song like that. But The Specials were really onto something with their seventies ska revival and two tone hit single about urban decay and the increasing problems of deindustrialisation in working class cities. People failed to heed their warning however, and now there are a boatload of abandoned towns around this planet that are, for a wide variety of reasons, stuck in more of a time warp than Frank N. Furter. These deserted districts act as relic to a nearly forgotten past; a sort of comatose time capsule where the streets have no name and the houses have no doors. They€™re the sort of places that playing hour after hour of Silent Hill in a dark room has taught you to avoid because you didn€™t pick up that bottle of Aglaophotis from Kaufmann€™s apartment. These are the lost places, way off the beaten track that you could easily find yourself wandering around for a short eternity; just exploring, taking pretty pictures for your Pinterest and listening to Explosions In The Sky. Here are 10 haunting ghost towns from around the world, and before you all get smarky with your comments and suggest it, no, Medway doesn€™t count.
