Prypiat is an abandoned city in the Zone of alienation in northern Ukraine. It was home to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant workers, abandoned in 1986 following the Chernobyl disaster. Its population had been around 50,000 prior to the accident.

Apple 2 House after the mannikin families moved out. It's still out on Yucca Flats at the Nevada Test Site.

I’ve experienced only one real ghost town in Virginia City, Montana. A beautiful but almost empty spot that seems to be long past dead— a reality to which it is oblivious—on a small scenic highway. I did stop in the one saloon in town and afterwards fed some horses in a nearby pasture. I strongly sensed things were once very different up there, though. There were certain hints of different circumstances in another time. For admires of the Old West it is well worth visiting if y’all ever get up to the nearby Yellowstone area.
