Midwest Haunted Ghost Towns

The Midwest’s ghost towns carry a particular kind of haunted quality – the weight of broken promises and abandoned dreams stretched across a flat landscape under enormous skies. Former boom towns, failed utopian communities, Dust Bowl casualties, and bypassed railroad towns dot the Midwestern states, their empty main streets and collapsing storefronts standing as quiet monuments to the communities that once filled them with life.
