Ghost Towns of America

What Is The Difference Between Eastern And Western Ghost Towns? The difference between the ghost towns of the east, and the old towns that are located in our western states is this, the ghost towns of the east are no longer visible.

Ghost towns in the east exist today as cellar holes. They are nothing more than a hole in the ground…these empty holes are cellar holes. The cellar holes are what are left of the houses that once sat on top of them.

The information that you will be reading on this website is based on my popular metal detecting TV series, “Ghost Towns Of The East”.

Ohio Ghost Towns,

I have been speaking at schools throughout the US. Students and teachers are excited to see our TV series and how it depicts history over one hundred and fifty years ago.

“I have been teaching local history for 22 years. And when Mr. Pandozzi came to our Junior high class with a video of his TV series, my classes were speechless. I think they learned more from his series in one viewing than what I tried to teach in an entire semester.”Mary B. Teacher

Dear Frank, I just wanted to thank you again for being a guest speaker in my 8th grade classes. My students found your presentation and ghost town dvd both informative and fun. You really captured their interest with your knowledge, and the use of the artifacts and the metal detector was a real plus.

 It's always a treat when I can help students to connect what we read and write about in class with what is happening around them in the outside world. I deeply appreciate you sharing it with my students.  Sincerely,  Bill Zimpfer,

Southern Central School
