Ghost Town | comment |
A town or village that no longer has enough inhabitants to be considered a town (or in extreme cases may be abandoned entirely)note the legal term for this is "disincorporation". The term "ghost town" is used because the town's business buildings and houses are still there, except they are boarded up and derelict, which gives the place a spooky feeling. Back in the days of The Wild West, settlements would spring up quickly if news came of a gold or silver strike, or of a good water supply in arid land, and folks would flock in and put up a Boom Town. Many of these survived and grew, even after the initial rush was over (all major cities in the West Coast got their start like this). But many died out and were abandoned. After the gold was mined out, or the spring went dry, or the railroad went through a town 100 miles away instead, there was no way to earn a living there. So the town died, slowly or quickly, and became a Ghost Town. In a more general sense, in an agricultural society, most people lived on a farm or a ranch and shipped their grain or cattle to the nearest big trading center. When most people started living in more urbanized areas, since they were not farming, either they needed to go to a job or have customers because they ran some kind of business out of their house. If that dried up, whether or not they owned their house, unless they could grow enough food to feed themselves and supply other basic needs, their only option was to pack up and move on. If enough people did that, then you got a ghost town. Given their nature, ghost towns tend to be far off the beaten path, and not appear on current maps. Thus people who wind up in ghost towns are usually lost on a road trip, or if it was deliberate, because they want to explore the ghost town, they had a hard time getting there. (The big exception is tourist attraction ghost towns, which have relatively easy access, and enough people in nearby areas to keep the place up.) Ghost towns don't necessarily have actual ghosts in them, but are generally spooky even without them. Crumbling buildings, rotting wooden siding, rusting iron, banging shutters, and creaking floors (or in a Western, an old player piano that suddenly activates) are spooky. Sometimes the evacuation will have been so sudden that it appears that people left in the middle of dinner; there may be old crockery and rusted cans in the cupboards. Sometimes there will be a single octagenarian inhabitant who will explain the history of the area, or, who will brandish an ancient shotgun and attempt to drive off the intruders. And if it's the horror genre, whatever evil spirits/monsters that caused the place to become a ghost town will very likely still be in the area (and about to wake up and be hungry for a human meal). This Trope is sometimes found with the Abandoned Mine Trope (one being the reason for the other). Compare Ghost City, where this has happened to a major metropolitan area, and Ghost Planet when an entire world ends up this way. Contrast Boom Town, the beginning of the cycle. See also Dying Town, when a poor community is getting close to becoming a Ghost Town. Ghost towns are Truth in Television, for a range of reasons. In North America, in addition to the previously-described 1800s-era ghost towns, there are 1900s ghost towns caused by chemical pollution or natural disasters. In Europe, there is a French ghost town which the Nazi Waffen-SS burned down and killed the people; the destroyed town has been kept intact as a monument to this atrocity. Japan has 1990s-era ghost towns caused by that era's economic downturn. Not to be confused with the 2008 film Ghost Town, whose town is actually quite populous; or with Thriving Ghost Town, which is the Law of Conservation of Detail as applied to the town's population; or with the song "Ghost Town" by DJ Shadow or The Specials. |

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: The Hidden Village, and its Western music. It was the old Kakariko Village before it was ravaged by enemies, forcing the inhabitants to move onto a safer part of Hyrule. By the time Link arrives, he has to dispatch 20 enemies to meet the last remaining inhabitant (Impaz). Later on, he can play a minigame involving cats. | |

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has two examples. Pripyat is of the more common type – while it's thick with radiation and anomalies, it was evacuated in 1986. Limansk-13, on the other hand, is more on the actually ghostly side: unlike Pripyat, its citizens remained after the CNPP disaster, and in the 2006 incident, its citizens (who were part of a mind-control experiment involving the Radiowave Institute and the Duga-3 radar system, which effectively turned the place into a man-made Lovecraft Country) simply evaporated, with only their shadows left. You can even hear the ghosts of children during the daynote it's in the soundtrack for the location, actually, but since no other place or track shares this peculiarity, it still counts. In the first game, any town or camp occupied by friendly Stalkers could become a ghost town, as they would slowly be picked off by mutants, the military, bandits, and their own stupidity by standing in the camp fire; then another group of stalkers settle in those places (often after the Player Character has killed everything hostile in the area) and the cycle begins anew. |

In The Witchlands, the city of Lejna used to be Nubrevna's main port, but ever since Poisonwitches turned the entire south of the country into a Polluted Wasteland, it's been abandoned, as people prefer to swim further upriver to the non-poisonous capital of Lovats. These days, the only people to stop in Lejna are those who wish to slip under the Nubrevnans' radar for one reason or another. | |

Champions Online has a region called the Southwest Desert where there are two ghost towns, both very different. One is a traditional old deserted mining town, Burnside, complete with ghosts from way back. The other is a nameless town ravaged by the effects of nearby atomic bomb tests in the 1950s and completely deserted apart from a few radiation mutants straying around the edges of the atomic wastelands. Quite chilling really. | |

Other books explain that in the initial days of Tibanna gas exploitation on the gas giant Bespin, numerous floating boom towns were constructed to try to get in on the market. When most of these went bust, their owners simply cut the power to the repulsorlifts and let the installations fall into the gas giant's depths. The exception is Tibannopolis, a floating ghost town that's been stripped by scavengers to a bare skeleton. Its generators are slowly failing so that the thing currently hovers at a slight tilt, but it serves as Bespin's local "haunted house," a place for daredevil pilots to show off, or for lovers to have a private moment. And in the Jedi Academy Trilogy, it's where Luke recruits Streen, a Force-sensitive hermit whose Power Incontinence drove him away from other people's thoughts. | |

Theddon in Dragon Quest III is this due to being unfortunately close to Baramos' Lair and, therefore, subjected to Baramos' assault. The trope applies to this town both figuratively and literally, as it's entirely devoid of people in the daytime, while the ghost forms of its former residents go about their business at night. | |

Mega Man Battle Network 2 has an online equivalent: This game introduced the Net Square concept to the series. These are spaces on the web where Navis are safe from viruses, can interact with each other, buy stuff from stores, and read notices from bulletin boards. Basically, the online counterpart of your round-of-the-mill town. During the events of the game, ShadowMan.EXE, under the command of Gospel, destroyed the Net Square of Yumland, deleting all of its inhabitants, including their King CookMan.EXE. Save from a lone MrProg, the square remains uninhabited for the rest of the game. | |

Secret of Evermore Ebon Keep. The original city within Gothica, it was completely vacated when Queen Bluegarden's evil twin usurped the throne, with the residents all being moved to Ivor Tower under the pretense that cleaning up their old city was harder work than just building a new one and according the a few folks, to have more control over the place. Only Cecil Harvey remained behind, later joined by the real Bluegarden and Tinker after she escaped from prison. Once the twin is defeated, the situation gets flipped with the populace relocating to Ebon Keep again. | |

Sadly, this happens again in the later films as the constant graboid problems and lack of opportunity take its toll on the inhabitants of Perfection.

In The Long Dark, one of the key features of the Coastal Highway map is a very small community. Not a single soul lives there and there are no bodies lying around, suggesting that the inhabitants moved out before the geomagnetic calamity struck. The gas station in the centre of the ghost town is a fairly good choice for a player safehouse as it has inside a work bench, plenty of storage space, and a burn barrel next to a small bed; however, wolves tend to lurk around the place so you'll need to stay on your toes while you're there. | |

Super Mario 64's Wet-Dry World features an abandoned town hidden away by a tunnel at the very corner of the stage that requires a cannon to access. The world's main gimmick is that you can adjust the water levels by touching small rainbow pyramids, and it's hinted (and confirmed in the Super Mario 64 Guide) that flooding caused the former residents to leave. The world itself only has water striders and toy-like robots as enemies, with the town portion lacking even the robots. | |

The town of Pleasance in the prequel Red Dead Redemption 2 had only been established for a month before a double whammy of mass murder and plague outbreak rendered it abandoned. Tumbleweed is still populated but clearly on the decline, while the town of Armadillo, which is thriving and well in the future, is nearly deserted due to a cholera epidemic. | |

Kid Nation revolved around sending a bunch of kids to the ghost town of Bonanza City, New Mexico, where their goal was to make the town work, set up a form of government, and not go Lord of the Flies on each other. While it was largely real, at least as real as reality television gets and garnered some injuries, legal trouble, and controversy along the way, the location itself was actually the fictional Bonanza Creek Movie Ranch. | |

But when the locals lynched a black onion farmer for kissing the white Schoolmarm, a drought gripped the area, causing the lake to dry up and the town to go down with it. The narration even states that the drought can be seen as divine punishment. | |

Silent Hill was once a prosperous large town that seemed to have been suddenly abandoned by everyone except a handful of locals and people who either purposefully or accidentally end up in it. Perhaps it was the dwindling tourism industry or, more likely, the monsters and the periodic threat of the Otherworld that led to its abandonment. It has been theorized that the abandoned version of Silent Hill is in fact an alternate dimension, and in the real world, it is a normal, prosperous town. | |

If you sabotage or simply don't fix the air purifier in the mine, the down becomes abandoned quickly. If you do fix the purifier, it will thrive for a time before the mine gives out, at which point it's abandoned anyway. Vault 13 becomes this some time after you find it, due to the Enclave going in and massacring all the inhabitants. | |

In The Oklahoma Land Rush, the plot centers around a town called Boomville, the first settlement built during the titular Land Rush, when Oklahoma was bought from the Indians and opened for settlers. It turns out to be a "Shaggy Dog" Story; Oklahoma is too dry and arid for a typical Western town, plagued by dust storms and droughts, making the conflict between the heroes and the villains utterly pointless. In the end, Boomville is abandoned, with the only real positive outcome of the story being the Heel–Face Turn of Dopey, one of the bad guys mooks. | |

Lucky Luke features almost every single The Wild West cliché, and therefore: He once had an adventure in a Ghost Town; this is even the title of the book. In that case, it was a Gold Rush mining town named Gold Hill that was abandoned after it became obvious there wasn't an ounce of gold around the place (The original gold rush had been started by a man named Powell, who'd been tricked into buying a "seeded" gold mine, and still lives in the town as an old man, refusing to accept that the mine was a fake). In the end, after Luke and Powell have stirred the locals out of their greed, it revives as a prosperous farming town. Ironically, almost immediately afterwards, Powell DOES find gold in his seemingly worthless mine, but Luke convinces him to let it go so Gold Hill can prosper. In The Oklahoma Land Rush, the plot centers around a town called Boomville, the first settlement built during the titular Land Rush, when Oklahoma was bought from the Indians and opened for settlers. It turns out to be a "Shaggy Dog" Story; Oklahoma is too dry and arid for a typical Western town, plagued by dust storms and droughts, making the conflict between the heroes and the villains utterly pointless. In the end, Boomville is abandoned, with the only real positive outcome of the story being the Heel–Face Turn of Dopey, one of the bad guys mooks. The Grand Duke: Luke sets up camp in one of these during his journey through the West with Grand Duke Leonid and Colonel Fedor, explaining the prevalence of these types of western towns to his Russian friends. Daisy Town (based off the film Lucky Luke: Daisy Town) ends this way, making the entire fight with the Daltons and the Indians pointless, as all the citizens run off once they hear news about gold being discovered elsewhere. Unlike other stories with a similar ending, Luke doesn't seem too bothered by it, and even laughs about how everything turned out. |

The Gravemark Village from Bravely Default is exactly What It Says On The Tin. What remains of the settlement is a cemetery and a lone hut where a trio of old foggies live. One of them explains that a great plague killed almost all inhabitants and the village was quarantined by the Crystal Orthodoxy to prevent the malaise from reaching the rest of Eternia. Edea's parents, Braev and Mahzeer, hail from this place. It is theorized by the old man that Braev's support of the Anticrystallism movement is the result of the Orthodoxy sacrificing his hometown to protect the rest of the continent. | |

Fallout Fallout: After the Vault Dweller passes through the area, Necropolis' ghoul population is wiped out by a Super Mutant attack, "leaving a truly dead city behind them". Fallout 2: This is the fate of Broken Hills in the game's epilogue, regardless of what you do while in it. If you sabotage or simply don't fix the air purifier in the mine, the down becomes abandoned quickly. If you do fix the purifier, it will thrive for a time before the mine gives out, at which point it's abandoned anyway. Vault 13 becomes this some time after you find it, due to the Enclave going in and massacring all the inhabitants. Fallout: New Vegas: Nipton and Searchlight became this after the Legion came to town. The former had its residents beheaded, crucified, or enslaved, while the latter was irradiated, turning the NCR troops stationed there into feral ghouls. |

Super Mario Bros.: Super Mario 64's Wet-Dry World features an abandoned town hidden away by a tunnel at the very corner of the stage that requires a cannon to access. The world's main gimmick is that you can adjust the water levels by touching small rainbow pyramids, and it's hinted (and confirmed in the Super Mario 64 Guide) that flooding caused the former residents to leave. The world itself only has water striders and toy-like robots as enemies, with the town portion lacking even the robots. Wario Land 4's Crescent Moon Village, in both senses of the word (no inhabitants, but plenty of bloodthirsty undead ghosts). Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. Hollie Jollie Village was destroyed by the invading shroobs early in the game. The exploration of the ruins of the town is accompanied by the most depressing rendition of Jingle Bells ever. Toad Town suffered the same fate. The only survivors of the attack are a pair of grannies who act as shopkeepers. The rest of the inhabitants were kidnapped by the aliens after they laid waste to the place. |

Dragon Quest IX. The ruins of Brigadoom is the first major dungeon that the hero and his party visit. In the post game, a DLC sidequest reveals that 300 years prior to the events of the game, the king of Stornway from back then made a pact with a powerful demon called Yore to protect the city from the Gittinham Empire and offered Brigadoom as a sacrifice. By the time the hero and Co. arrived to Gerzuun, the town has already been overrun by monsters. The only inhabitants left are the ghosts of the townsfolk who, unaware of their deaths, still look over the Bodura grass. |

Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy V has Gohn, Town of Ruin. True to its namesake, the entire place is deserted, and no one has been residing within it for many years. Final Fantasy VI: Narshe was abandoned after the cataclysm and subsequently became overrun with monsters, turning the place into a Dungeon Town. Final Fantasy VII: The City of the Ancient AKA the Forgotten City/Capital was the home of the Cetra until the "Calamity from the Skies" fell into the planet, almost wiping them all. The few survivor left the place for the human settlements where they were eventually assimilated into human culture and the city has been an abandoned ruin for a long time. Final Fantasy XII: The Necrohol of Nabudis is all that remains of the capital of Nabradia, a kingdom destroyed by the Arcadian Empire two years prior of the events of the game. The place is now nothing but ruins infested with powerful monsters, including three optional bosses fought as part of a sidequest. Pretty much every town on Gran Pulse in Final Fantasy XIII qualifies but particularly Oerba, as it is the only one with infrastructure still mostly intact—just no people to use it. The aptly-named Ghost Port Kolobos form Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. Once a bustling port, the town died down once crystal farming, the main industry of the island, was no longer able to sustain it. |

Later, the kids learn the city used to be known as Astrópolis, "the Fallen Star", and used to be the Arista's capital city. However, the Astropolitans fled the city when a group of refugees of the outer lands travelled through the area. Shortly after, the mountain passes were blocked by an earthquake, and the Aristans were unable to return or find again their city. Seven hundred years later, many people believed Astrópolis to be only a legend. | |

Fable: The town of Oakvale used to be a small village of farmers and carpenters deep in the forest coasted by the sea, surrounded by a haunted cursed forest called Darkwood. It's a hub and the hero's home. After 300 years from the first game, the town had enlarged and the Barrow Fields region was unified with Oakvale, but because of Reaver and the Shadow Court, an evil and magical organization, the villagers were all killed and the town was cursed and eventually abandoned; within a few decades, the Darkwood forest claimed the village and the surrounding areas, turning it into the Wraithmarsh, a dark and haunted wetland infested with undead, balverines, and banshees. The town's sign is still up when the player visits, though Oakvale's signature bridge is in ruins. The path leading in the inner town is flooded, making it impossible to explore the town further. | |

Tremors: In Tremors 4: The Legend Begins, the Old West town of Rejection is largely abandoned after "dirt dragon" attacks cause the local mine to be closed down. Most of its buildings were barely more than tents to begin with. Sadly, this happens again in the later films as the constant graboid problems and lack of opportunity take its toll on the inhabitants of Perfection. In Tremors 6: A Cold Day in Hell, Burt is the only permanent resident left, with everybody else having moved away, and even he packs up and leaves by the next (and last) film when he refuses to deal with the US government any longer. |

Dragon Quest examples: Hauksness/Domdora/Damdara in Dragon Quest. Theddon in Dragon Quest III is this due to being unfortunately close to Baramos' Lair and, therefore, subjected to Baramos' assault. The trope applies to this town both figuratively and literally, as it's entirely devoid of people in the daytime, while the ghost forms of its former residents go about their business at night. Aktemto/Mamom from Dragon Quest IV becomes one as the game continues due to the inhabitants working on the nearby mine eventually digging too deep and unleashing an ancient horror sealed underneath the town. Dragon Quest IX. The ruins of Brigadoom is the first major dungeon that the hero and his party visit. In the post game, a DLC sidequest reveals that 300 years prior to the events of the game, the king of Stornway from back then made a pact with a powerful demon called Yore to protect the city from the Gittinham Empire and offered Brigadoom as a sacrifice. By the time the hero and Co. arrived to Gerzuun, the town has already been overrun by monsters. The only inhabitants left are the ghosts of the townsfolk who, unaware of their deaths, still look over the Bodura grass. |

Within hours she comes back, shaken, and finds that everyone has vanished. Other books explain that in the initial days of Tibanna gas exploitation on the gas giant Bespin, numerous floating boom towns were constructed to try to get in on the market. When most of these went bust, their owners simply cut the power to the repulsorlifts and let the installations fall into the gas giant's depths. The exception is Tibannopolis, a floating ghost town that's been stripped by scavengers to a bare skeleton. Its generators are slowly failing so that the thing currently hovers at a slight tilt, but it serves as Bespin's local "haunted house," a place for daredevil pilots to show off, or for lovers to have a private moment. And in the Jedi Academy Trilogy, it's where Luke recruits Streen, a Force-sensitive hermit whose Power Incontinence drove him away from other people's thoughts. |

Lone Wolf: In Book 19, Lone Wolf can visit two Ghost Towns on his cross country trip back home. One village was hit hard by a plague and is completely abandoned. Another one, the town of Amory, is a literal Ghost Town. The spirit of old enemy Roark still haunts his former home and his evil presence frightens away any living thing that tries to stay there. After Lone Wolf defeats Roark for the last time and banishes his spirit forever, he is delighted to hear birdsong in the morning after the battle — life is already returning to Amory. Lone Wolf also finds some hidden money in the floorboards of the house he was sleeping in — almost as if the town itself was thanking him. | |

Mass Effect: Andromeda: Promise and Resilience on Eos, the Andromeda Initiative's first attempts at making colonies in Andromeda, until the kett found out about them. By the time Ryder shows up, both sites have been abandoned and left to the elements, save for one black marketer (who's only getting by thanks to an Adventure Archaeologist operating nearby). Even after Ryder makes Eos more liveable, no-one seems in any hurry to try and resettle the areas. | |

Pretty much every town on Gran Pulse in Final Fantasy XIII qualifies but particularly Oerba, as it is the only one with infrastructure still mostly intact—just no people to use it. | |

World of Darkness: Ghost Stories has Fort Assumption, a silver-mining town that went from Dying Town to dead in one brutal night, when the sheriff slaughtered everyone still there to "spare them the pain" of a smallpox epidemic before killing himself. The shock of the massacre caused the town to develop a literal ghost, and it's obsessed with rebuilding itself. The sheriff's own ghost, meanwhile, is not about to let it. | |

Princess Iron Fan (the second film of The Monkey Goes West quadrilogy) have Sanzang, Wukong, and their fellow pilgrims arriving in a village somehow devoid of all life, with the corpses of citizens scattered all over the place. An old man, near his death, managed to warn Sanzang and his disciples of the dangers ahead - the long-dormant Mount of Flames just up ahead had suddenly erupted, engulfing all surrounding areas with a sudden heatstroke, and they must figure a way to extinguish it so they can continue their journey. | |
