surely the very definition of the word ghostown implies an abandoned town with abandoned buildings, most of the places listed here are simply places where towns used to be, which is not a ghostown. By this definition any place on the planet where people have settled and moved on is a ghostown... you could inculde london and new york for instance...(though of course they have been resettled) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.239.240.12 (talk) 17:20, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
