The Story Behind This Desolate Ghost Town In Oklahoma Is Truly Strange
Of all the ghost towns I’ve featured in Oklahoma, the story behind the ghost town of Bethsheba is probably the most peculiar. The town of Bethsheba was established in 1893 by women and declared a “women-only” town. Yes, you heard me correctly…no men allowed.
Nobody is able to pinpoint exactly where the town of Bethsheba was located but they do know it was somewhere in Garfield County between Perry and Enid.
The town was eventually deserted after the women had a change of heart and went back to the "land of men." It's almost as if the town vanished into thin air overnight. Very little evidence was left of its existence.
