What happened in Kitsault, BC, Canada's most perfect Ghost Town?
Today, we're revisiting a fun one from 2 years ago about one of the most unique ghost towns in North America. ----------------------------------------------------- Kitsault was a mining town of 1,200 or so people in one of the most remote areas of British Columbia. It opened in 1981. It was empty by 1982. That was its first lifetime. Since then, however, something has happened to Kitsault. Unlike other abandoned towns, Kitsault has been maintained. First by the mining company, later by a private owner. So today it sits, almost perfectly preserved, ready for a small town's worth of people to show up and move in. Will they?
