Abandoned ghost town on sale for $2.6 million

<p>A small and abandoned town in Connecticut called Johnsonville has been listed for $2.6 million.</p> <p>The town, rumoured to be haunted, has been isolated for nearly 20 years except for a caretaker and security guard.</p> <p>Johnsonville is in a prime position next to the Connecticut River but no one is interested in buying the eerie formed mill town.</p> <p>The town was established in 1802 and was a bustling community complete with a store, church and post office.</p> <p>In 1972, the mill was struck by lightning which caused it to burn down and the town members left Johnsonville to find work elsewhere.</p> <p>Raymond Schmitt, owner of the town, tried to restore the town as a tourist destination but when that failed he attempted to make it as wedding event venue.</p> <p>In 1994, Raymond tried to sell the town for $4.7 million but was unsuccessful.</p> <p>The town, which is believed to be haunted by founder Emory Johnson, is on sale once again and has received expressions of interest but no firm offers.  </p> <p><em>Image credit: William Ravesis</em></p>
