This Abandoned Ghost Town In Kansas Will Send Shivers Down Your Spine

Alright, lovers of the paranormal; today’s post is just for you! It’s a pretty well-known fact that Kansas is home to several ghost towns and alleged hauntings, but the abandoned town of Le Hunt brings both of these together. Here is the chilling story of how the once thriving town came to be a terrifying ghost town:

It may not seem like it now, but at one time the town of Le Hunt, Kansas was a bustling place that employed many through its United Kansas Portland Cement Company.

Like several other businesses, the United Kansas Portland Cement Company went under during the Great Depression and with it went the rest of the small town.

While most deserted the plant (and town) after it closed, the only soul to remain behind was that of factory worker, Bohr.

After Bohr's untimely death, co-workers are said to have encapsulated his wheelbarrow, pick and shovel into a wall of concrete that can still be seen today.

All that remains of the town of Le Hunt is the dilapidated cement factory, abandoned homes, an old cemetery, and other remnants that have since been reclaimed by nature.
