Ghost Towns in America

In this soft-spoken story, I tell you the stories of four ghost towns in America: - North Brother Island, New York, a small uninhabited island that once had a large hospital and kept the infamous Typhoid Mary in quarantine for over two decades. - Bodie, California, a well-preserved mining town that boomed in the 1870s thanks to the discovery of gold deposits. I will tell you a little about the California Gold Rush, Express companies like Wells Fargo, and the decline of this once-thriving town. - Real de Catorce, Mexico, is another mining town that can only be accessed via an underground tunnel. - Villa Epecuén, Argentina, a submerged resort, spent 2 decades under salty water, until the water withdrew and revealed an eerie landscape.
