St Elmo, Colorado

St Elmo, Colorado – Like many ghost towns in the U.S., St. Elmo (originally called Forrest City) was once a thriving mining community. The end of train service to Chalk Creek Canyon in 1926 caused the town population to dwindle and by the 1950s it was a virtual ghost town. Only seven people reportedly stuck it out in St. Elmo, including the family who ran the general store and the hotel and who are rumored to still haunt the town today. The general store and guest house are still operating, which means visitors can even spend the night in the creepy ghost town.
