Montserrat is considered a ghost town primarily due to the devastating volcanic eruptions that began in 1995, which destroyed the capital city, Plymouth, and forced the evacuation of much of the island's population. The ongoing volcanic activity has rendered large areas uninhabitable, leading to a significant decline in residents and economic activity. As a result, many buildings were abandoned, giving the island a haunting atmosphere. Today, much of Montserrat remains a restricted zone, preserving its ghost town status.
