Are you ready to embark on a thrilling adventure through the eerie and forgotten corners of the world? Join me as we explore abandoned places virtually in our Outschool History class! From the hauntingly beautiful Catskill Mountains, where nature has taken over once bustling towns, to the infamous ghost town of Pripyat, Ukraine - left deserted after the Chernobyl disaster. We'll even dare to step inside Six Flags New Orleans, an abandoned amusement park that was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina. With each virtual visit, we'll witness firsthand how time has stood still and natural decay has transformed these once vibrant locations into something truly mesmerizing. So buckle up and get ready for a journey like no other - because when it comes to exploring abandoned places virtually with us... there's no telling what we might discover!
