Ghost towns often arise from economic decline, natural disasters, or resource depletion, leading to the abandonment of once-thriving communities. Notable examples include Bodie, California, known for its gold rush, and Centralia, Pennsylvania, which was largely abandoned due to an underground coal fire. Other ghost towns include Calico, California, and Rhyolite, Nevada, both reflecting the boom-and-bust cycles of mining. These towns serve as reminders of the transient nature of human settlement and the impact of changing economic conditions.
