Phantom Cities
Phantom Cities are the cities, towns and villages abandoned by its citizens by unknown reason. If you get there, everything seems to be normal there. There are plates on the table, blackboards in schools and toys in the yards. But none lives there and it seems to be a desert.
There are a lot of phantom cities that were abandoned, and people don't know the reason. According to some stories paranormal powers don't want people to live in these zones and they influence people making them leave these towns.
But sometimes the reasons why people abandoned these cities are very clear. For example the phantom city in Ukraine – Pripyat, that was abandoned after the catastrophe in Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The level of radiation has risen so much that it became dangerous for people of this city to live there. So, all people were evacuated from the city. This city is very mysterious but still it is one of the most visited cities in Eastern Europe among those who prefer extreme trips. To enter this zone it is necessary to have permission that is very difficult to receive. But this city is also the favourite one of graffiti artists. Walking about this town you may find a great number of graffiti works that tell us about the events that happened here in 1986.
Some people say that sometimes it is possible to hear the sounds and the voices of former citizens.
There are also a lot of phantom cities in all countries of the world. There are thousands of them in the USA. Crystal, Guston, Hancock, Howardsville, Ironton, Ludlow, Marble, Montgomery Mill, Ouray, Silverton, South Park, St. Elmo, Belmont, Belmont Mill, Berlin, Black Horse, Broken Hills, Caliente, Candelaria, Dayton, Eureka, Fairview, Genoa, Goldfield are phantom cities in the USA.
The most famous abandoned cities of Great Britain are of medieval times: Imber on Salisbury Plain, Cosmeston, Littlecote and Lillingstone Dayrell in Buckinghamshire, Y Graig in Monmouthshire, etc. Usually speaking of phantom cities a lot of people mean the abandoned cities of Wild West.
The most visited phantom cities are the phantom cities of Egypt.
Phantom Cities are also those that were found by archaeologists. For example, Troy is one of the most popular phantom cities.
Some cities were abandoned at once but the others were depopulated gradually.
But ghost towns can be really dangerous especially if they are ancient ones. There are a lot of proofs of this fact. Closer you get to the city, more anxious become pets. Parapsychologists explain this fact by the energy that is kept there. If this town was abandoned because of some catastrophe or a battle or a war, than more energy is kept there, because some people were killed or when people left the town they were preoccupied. These cities are a good example when time "stops". You can get into historical atmosphere of the time when the city was abandoned and see how people lived that time.
