Bodie, California, is one of the more well-maintained "ghost towns" you'll find in the US because it is now a state park. However, a trip to the former gold mining town will still give you an authentic look back at life during the California gold rush of the late 1800s.
Many people believe that the town is haunted by former residents. You can even go on a nighttime ghost tour of some of the most popular buildings around town.
