In the build-up to Halloween those hunting for a real-life ghost town need look no further than this haunting spot. Bodie, California, USA, – which requires special access to photograph at night – is one of the best preserved ghost towns in America, still featuring the abodes of the former miners who inhabited it more than 100 years ago. Renowned abandoned location photographer Matthew Christopher, 39, visited the site numerous times over the past 12 months, capturing the Milky Way glittering above the likes of ramshackle houses, clapped-out trucks, and stores that once served Bodies locals. The settlement was founded in 1859, following the discovery of gold in the hills east of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Here: Bodie, California, a real-life ghost town.
