Up for some real ghost-town experience? Travel to the Mother Lode in California and find a real abandoned ghost town named Bodie, which had the reputation of being the most furious, vehement, violent and lawless town in the hills. Bodie once had a burgeoning population of 10,000 people and made some $75 million in gold taken from Bodie Butte, which at the time was a huge sum of money. Some suggest there is still much more gold to be mined under Bodie Butt, but the mine shafts and tunnels are caving in. Now the site is considered a State Historic Landmark. The best time to visit is in the fall, and with Halloween right around the corner, a trip seems apropos.
