It seems to me that this list contains a lot of entries that don't belong; pointing to things that do not seem to meet a rational definition of “ghost town”. Many places in this list are live, functioning communities; while many other places have been completely destroyed, leaving nothing behind to indicate that they ever existed. Perhaps my expectations are off, but if I go to a place described as a “ghost town” I expect to find little, if any, human population, and an abundance of abandoned buildings and structures, no longer in use. It seems that very few of the entries in this list match this description.
I guess I'm fixated on this subject, because I have a new vehicle on order, expected to arrive mid-2022, and am thinking of adventures on which to take this vehicle. Ghost towns, in accordance with my notion of what they should be, seem like an interesting thing to go see, but it seems that very few entries on this list have anything of the sort to be worth seeking. — Bob Blaylock (talk) 04:40, 11 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
