There are a few stories of missing towns - actually, the West is filled with 'ghost towns' (towns which were abandoned when the gold ran out or the train switched lines).
One of the most vivid to me, though, comes from Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run, where a bunch of vampires move into a town that's been flooded by a new dam project. Underwater vampires are scary.
There's also the Florida town of Rosewood, but that's an ugly story and not at all legendary. Look up the movie by the same name for more background. I also told the story in the Switchboard thread about whose government was worse. |
