Mom, I'm Scared

Boomtowns to Ghost Towns


Listen Later

This week we’re swapping abandoned ghost town stories - and after listening, you’ll be searching for the closest one near you to explore.

Rachael keeps it close to home, sharing the story of Bodie, California, a once-booming Gold Rush town that now sits frozen in time as one of the most famous ghost towns in the American West.

Becca heads to Bannack, Montana, another former Gold Rush town, where vigilante citizens and outlaw gangs once brought chaos to the frontier. Today, the preserved town still stands and it feels like some people never left.
