ghost towns

Texas is home to dozens of abandoned ghost towns. These ten once thrived with people, now they’re just memories reclaimed by nature.

Unearth the enigma of Elbow, Texas - a town shrouded in mystery with scarce historical records.

While it may not have the stories of outlaws and lawmen, or fortunes made and lost like some ghost towns do; it's still a fascinating story.

Legends say that there were seven Methodist preachers living in that tiny town at one point.

Today, not a trace of this once wild boom-town exists.
