31 Ghost Towns in America That Are Hauntingly Frozen in Time

23. Simms, Montana – A Drowned Town Beneath the Reservoir

Beneath the waters of Simms, Montana, lies a ghost town swallowed by progress. Once a thriving agricultural community, Simms was permanently abandoned when the Gibson Dam project flooded the valley in the mid-20th century. Today, during dry seasons when the water level drops, eerie remnants of the town emerge—wooden foundations, fence posts, and even old farm equipment, standing as ghostly reminders of the past. Divers and explorers have reported finding submerged homes and artifacts, making it a unique ghost town that exists both above and below the surface.
