Bannack
The ghost town

History: In 1879, the small silver mining town of Bannack sprouted up in rural Maryland, tucked away in he hills near the Sugarloaf mountains. By 1891, most of the town had succumb to a case of typhoid. Those few who were left were left to bury the deceased. Those half dozen surviving residents, in a town of more then 200 are lost to history. Where they went or when they passed on is unknown. The town’s silver supply ran dry according to local historians just before the outbreak. Some say you can still find human remains in cellars and in dark corners where the survivors could not get to before the too succumbed to the disease, or fled for safety.

The town was abandoned, but listed on numerous tour groups brochures. The town stopped being visited when a faulty, and age worn porch gave way one evening and caused a grave infection and subsequent amputation of a small town darling teenage girl. In 1969, the summer of love, tradgedy befell the remnants of the once thriving mining town. A small cult of fanatical and remarkably lucid Men, women, and children took up residence in the dilapidated buildings and newly constructed structures.

The FBI rounded up the cultists and arrested a few, who were evading child support and robbery warrants. Since then, the town has been deserted.

The local Nosferatu whisper that a parapalegic kindred slumbers (or waits), somewhere in the mine or buildings. Since no kindred, or mortal has ever seen this mysterious vampire, the information is sketchy at best. A few adventurous treasure hunters whisper that the mine was shut down to hide a fortune in European art and books. No confirmed reports of any evidence concerning this supposed cache has yet surfaced however.
