If somebody is interested in ghost towns outside of United States, he should definitely check out the town of Pripyat in Ukraine, the town in which Chernobyl disaster happened. Today the radiation level in the town are too high to live there, and the city is abandoned.

Every time we camp, there seems to be a ghost town nearby! I love the Western US!

Yeah, I've seen pictures of the area. Completely desolate and eerie.
