5 Haunted Ghost Towns

Some towns refuse to die. Long after their last residents have vanished, something remains — eerie voices, shadow figures, and legendary folktales. In this episode, we explore five of the most haunted ghost towns in America: Bannack, MT, a lawless gold rush town with a murderous past; Bodie, CA, with a legendary curse; Wonder Valley, CA, a weird stretch of desert; Riverton, AL, a town drowned beneath a reservoir but with a very real mystery; and Garnet, MT, which became a ghost town twice. If ghosts are real, these are the places they live.  With special guest, filmmaker Adam Stilwell!   Theme Music by Matt Glass  https://www.glassbrain.com/ Instagram: @astudyofstrange Support the Show!  astudyofstrange.substack.com/ Website:  www.astudyofstrange.com Hosted by  Michael May Email stories, comments, or ideas to astudyofstrange@gmail.com!  ©2022 Convergent Content, LLC   LINKS! https://rosetrail.org/ghost https://southwestmt.com/blog/ban...
