3. Bodie, California, USA
Bodie is a well-preserved ghost town that flourished during California’s gold rush but was abandoned in the early 20th century. Today, it stands frozen in time, with empty buildings, rusted equipment, and decaying streets.
The town’s eerie stillness, coupled with the local legend of hauntings, makes Bodie one of the creepiest abandoned locations in America. It’s a fascinating yet unnerving glimpse into the past, where life once thrived but now only whispers remain.
