Picher, OK. It’s an EPA superfund site that was being cleaned up and bought out. The town was dying literally and figuratively, then a tornado came through and took care of enough that whoever had remained left. Now it’s a ghost town.

It's barely a town anymore but definitely Mineral Springs, Missouri.
It was once a bustling town with a famous hot spring, but it dried up. Now various people live in very old houses with no electricity. No one knows their names but they send one person into town a month for groceries.
If you're there very long at all, they WILL shoot at you.

Beaver, Oklahoma. Way out in the panhandle. Don’t go there if you’re a minority.

Elgin Kansas.
The motto of the town is “A town too tough to die”
A person told me a story about a time they stopped there on a cross country motorcycle trip. When they parked they could see people peaking round the corners of buildings. Shortly after a woman in an old dirty wedding dress came around a building pushing an old Victorian baby stroller. There wasn’t a baby in the stroller it was a toy baby.
There are trees growing out of buildings. The Main Street is an out of place, super wide, brick road for herding cattle through the town back in the way back times. For such a small town of nothing, in the middle of nothing. It was for a short time “one of the World’s busiest cattle shipping towns”
It’s a creepy place.
Edited: town motto. Still just as cool.

Medicine Bow, WY. I only stayed in the hotel for a night but it was super creepy. Lights off in the front and hasn't been renovated since early 1900s with a bunch of creepy Victorian Era paintings and mouse s**t everywhere.

Tenderloin in San Francisco is an experience to say the least. Especially at night.
