According to the Webter's New World Dictionary, a "Ghost town" is the remains of a deserted town, permanently, esp. for economic reasons. The ghost towns posted for Jackson Co. and Calhoun Co. never were "towns" but mainly communities and they are not deserted. The term is applicable to some towns in the West that still exist today and are total deserted. Whoever came up with the list and published them in a book knew nothing about Jackson or Calhoun Co., Fl. For example, Altha is listed for Calhoun County. Anyone living within the area knows that Altha is presently a good size town and is not deserted... Most of the "towns" listed were/are all communities that were so named because of Navy stores, post offices, or turpentine stills that existed years ago. The old Navy stores, post offices, or turpentine stills are all gone but the name of the communities are still used today. If you live outside of Jackson Co. and expect to be able to come here and find "deserted" towns with buildings, stores, etc still intact you will be disappointed... To classify these old communities/villlages as "ghost towns" is more romanticism than anything else. This is not meant to be critical but to keep the proper viewpoint about "ghost towns" in Jackson Co., FL. I can show you "Inwood, FL" in 30 seconds or less ... I live here... -)).
