Wow, those pictures are disturbing. Reminds me of the movie "House Wax" or something like that.

Imagine going through there at night and your engine just broke.

Thanks for sharing those pictures.

Hello,

Love your photos. I've been wanting to make a visit to Bradshaw and Belle Plain sometime; seeing your pics made me want to do it even more. Here are some photos of the ghost town of Clairemont, which is a ways northeast of Abilene in Kent County. It was the county seat until 1954 when it lost a countywide election to Jayton, which had a more reliable source of water. Like Bradshaw, a significant amount of structures remain in Clairemont including the bottom floor of the 1888 courthouse and matching jail, and the former Kent County Fairgrounds. There are still about 15 people living in the area, but for all intents and purposes it is a total ghost. I recommend a trip if you have the time; the next time I am in the area I plan on shooting some video.

I've totally been to Clairemont. I just didn't post pictures because I went with a friend and it was more of a random photoshoot of us than an actual ghost town documentary. It was my first ghost town actually. Quite a fun trip, albeit a bit far (90 minutes each way). Great pics!

Thank you. I plan on making another visit at the end of this month on my way back home to Lubbock to attend a wedding. I was thinking about shooting some video this time, as well.
