(Reader Contribution to 10 Most Amazing Ghost Towns)


The theory is that in 1962 a landfill was being routinely burned and accidently ignited a coal seam . The city has been burning for nearly 50 years and will keep burning for over 250 more. The town has dwindled from over 1,000 residents to none and is a current ghost town. Most of the buildings are now demolished.
