ghost town

“I haven’t been there for probably thirty years,” Kenneth explained, “So I don’t know if it’s still there or not.  Or if it’s still haunted or not.  It was haunted when I lived out there, though.  Lots of people probably knew about it; whether they believed what they saw and heard or not, who knows?”  Kenneth was talking about an old ghost town a couple hours outside of Rawlins, Wyoming that him and his friends used to dare one another to visit when he was in high school during the early 70’s.  He described the place in pretty vivid detail, but admitted that he would most likely be unable to pinpoint it on a map since it had been so long since his last visit.  The place was an old ghost-town of the wild west, built upon the hopes of those seeking to strike it rich in gold, silver, and gems.  It was abandoned once coal and oil were discovered to be Wyoming’s true natural treasures; the crumbling remnants of banks, hotels, saloons, the city jail
