Kennecott - Alaska's $5 Billion Ghost Town Where Workers Never Left
Notas do episódio
In 1938, America's richest copper mine shut down overnight. The Kennecott Copper Corporation ordered 300 workers to evacuate immediately—leaving behind tools on benches, meat in storage, money in safes, and twelve bodies in graves. For 87 years, the buildings have stood empty on an Alaskan mountainside, perfectly preserved by the cold. But park rangers, tour guides, and visitors report something impossible: the sound of machinery running in the silent mill, footsteps in locked buildings, voices speaking languages the workers spoke, and lantern lights moving through structures that haven't had electricity since 1938.
This is the story of Kennecott—the town that refuses to die, the cemetery that was abandoned, and the workers who may have never really left. Join Carman Carrion as we explore one of America's strangest ghost towns, where $100 million worth of infrastructure was simply locked up and walked away from, and where the dead have been waiting for nearly a century for someone to remember them.
