Off topic, but I'd love to have a look at your lists.

Well, here's one: My Twenty Favorite Stories from Obi-Wan's UFO-Free Paranormal Pages (formerly ghosts.org). It's actually atypical, as I shy away from Internet stories -- but I've read tales from Obi-Wan's site since I first logged on to the Web, so these are all like old friends:

The only story left off is the infamous Black-Eyed Kids, a fascinating (and controversial) subject unto itself, which has its own thread on FTMB among other places.

McAvennie raises an extremely interesting and worthwhile point.

Ancient ruins to one side, are there any ghost cities?

How about in Ukraine, uncomfortably near Chernobyl?

Not a city, but there is the town of Prypiat which was evacuated overnight when Chernobyl went.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prypiat

It was left a literal ghost town due to the radiation levels. But beforehand the entire town, complete with shopping centres, schools, gyms and sports stadiums, was constructed to house the famillies of those working at Chernobyl.

People litterally had to grab what they could and leave the rest behind.

There are some beautiful haunting images right here http://www.howtobearetronaut.com/2011/09/abandoned-prypiat/

In fact, the whole site is great for fairly random collections of images and general stuff from the past.....like a digital time capsule, in fact. Worth a bookmark!

Tootally. I find Prypiat fascinating. It's like a future image of a post-apocalyptic city. Let's hope it's the nearest anybody TRULY ever gets to experiencing that, but looking through photos of the place is truly enthralling.

Oh, this is stellar! Thank you so much! Great to see Obiwan's site back as well- I was saddened to see it had vanished a while back, but it looks lke all the old stuff's been restored.
