OP, sounds like you want something to entertain you, like sitting and watching a movie. You *don't* want to entertain yourself, like reading a book. Is that a fair assessment? If yes, then you have to spend money, usually an ever-increasing amount as once you've been entertained by a thing once, it doesn't do as good of a job the next time, diminishing every time past that. Can't help you there.
I can encourage you to try entertaining yourself. You asked "anything to do in ghost towns?" and immediately I thought about photography and history. I grew up not too far from a mining community/ghost town and would head up there occasionally just to get away from people/noise. I'd fish, or pan for gold, walk around the area and dig up old relics. As I got a little older, I'd started researching the history of the place, found it fascinating to stand in the spot where someone was gunned down after pulling an old-fashion stage-coach heist. Were I to go back now, the pictures would be the main thing I'd focus on... Point is, I found my own things "to do" there. The same is true for ANY place you happen to be.
Oh, COME ON, Man!
Do you need someone to jump up and down and play peek-a-boo with you? Do you have to have loud music and people parading around in some sort of costume before you have 'anything to do'?
Anyone with half a brain knows what ghost towns are all about. Either you are interested or you are not. I have lots of patience with those who are not interested, but you are pretending to be ignorant on a scale I have never seen.
