  • I walk around the Ghost Town of Thurmond West Virginia and a Coal drag comes off the siding and onto the main line.

    If some American production company ever decides to remake the infamous British horror film Eden Lake (2008) Thurmond would be the PERFECT place to shoot it!

    Believe it or not there was a medal of honor winner who came from Thurmond. His name was Charles Rogers. He attended a black school in Mount Hope called Dubois. There is a bridge in the Chimney Corner area of Fayette County that is named after him.

    that's pretty incredible. someone has to live there, if it's only to keep an eye on the town so stupid people don't destroy everything. just a modern time, soto speak, ghost town. very interesting and sad at the same time.

      It is pretty incredible and pretty sad! It’s a mix of volunteers and contractors who maintain everything, I believe there are roughly 5 residents currently from what I could find online. It seems like between the railroad and it being owned by the national park service they have some presence as well. There are cameras everywhere so I believe that may help manage the crime!
      Thanks for watching!
