Excellent read BTW freepers.......get the BOOK !!!
Stay Safe CO !!
Eh ? These are always the same pictures all over the internet and most of them is showing only a few streets with some apartment buildings, the largest of these “ghost cities” is a new district of existing city. There are a lot of new housing developments in inner regions as there's where Chinese industry is moving because the coastal regions are becoming too expensive. The inner regions are moving from peasant economy to industrialization when the coastal regions are turning into western style service based economy. 300 million people moving from villages to cities is not some government plan but estimated long term effects of current trends. I'm not saying Chinese economy is perfect, It's far from It and some of these projects were definitely miscalculated, however overall It makes sense.
I love ‘Ghost Adventures’ and watch it every Friday night! You’re right, it’s one of the most active that I’ve ever seen watching any of the ghost hunting shows.
(BTW, Nick is my favorite on the show, LOL)
I read the headline and thought we were going to be talking about ghost hunting, darnit!
China’s got ‘extreme liberal makework’ - a high-end equivalent of flipping burgers for each other - Conservation Corps Jobs - Detroit “jobs programs”...etc. etc. - anything except allowing the market to work.
China has a big problem with people coming from rural areas into the large cities. So, the strategy is to create “satellite cities” where people can migrate, and thereby take pressure off the larger urban areas.
someone else turned it to the paranormal though.
Im learning all I can because we have what is known as a “shadowman” who comes through occasionally.
Nearly every family member has seen it from time to time and has been reluctant to tell anyone else about it lest we be thought of as nutty. The funny thing is, we all report exactly the same things when we see it.
It’s something I’ve always been interested in. I loved reading ghost stories and about haunted places as a kid. I love to check out cemeteries, both from the ‘haunted’ standpoint, but more importantly from the historical standpoint.
I’ve never had any experiences that I can recall, but I would love to go on a ghost hunt. We’ll be moving to southeast OH in the summer, just minutes away from Point Pleasant, VA, home of the ‘Mothman.’ That’s something I’m looking forward to checking out!
You should be journaling your experiences to see if some sort of pattern can be established. I believe it was on ‘Ghost Hunters’ that I saw some hotel that was supposedly haunted. The management left out a book for people to record anything that happened during their stay and they started getting patterns of activity from all sorts of visitors at different times.
Don’t these ghost cities need maintenance? Do you heat and cool the buildings or just leave them be? Doesn’t an unoccupied building get infested with critters? Something is wrong here. Perhaps they are building a gigantic set for the Chinese version of The Truman Show.
Point Pleasant WV huh? are you going to move down around the Bob Evans Farm area, or wellston?
The TAPS guys from Ghosthunters sent me an email telling me the same thing, that I should start keeping a journal of when and where I saw the shadowman and other circumstances such as weather and what might have been going on in the home at the time of the discovery.
My husband is working in Gallipolis, so close to Bob Evans Farms. We’ve looked up at houses in Wellston (I was there for a few days during Christmas vacation) and Jackson. We have one house in Wellston that we like, but it’s about 30 minutes to dh’s work. We also have one in Gallipolis that we like that is about 10 minutes for him to get to work. Right now he is staying in a house the company rents. I could not get over how hilly that area was, LOL.
I remember watching an episode on the Mothman on ‘Paranormal State’ and when I realized that we would be moving close to that area, I was excited. I’m easily amused. :)

The ‘Ghost Adventures’ guys did an investigation at Fort Chaffee here in Fort Smith not too long ago. I didn’t know a lot of the history of the place until I saw the episode. Some scary stuff. If I had known they were going to be here, I would have been one of their temporary groupies, LOL!
Oops! Sorry about the double post. Too much caffeine this morning ;)
