Lost and abandoned america

Henry river mill the place they used to film hunger games district 12. At the start of the industrial revolution, mill towns sprung up everywhere across the state, many in the western region. One of those in particular was Henry River.The mill opened in 1905, and over time, more than 20 buildings developed to support the residents, the majority of whom worked at the mill. In 1973, the mill shut down, and it wasn't until 1987 that the last resident left and the town was left abandoned. 

Until the village was put in the limelight by The Hunger Games, it remained abandoned, with many people visiting to get their own experience. Strangely enough, the entire town was owned by the late Wade Shepard, (although after the movie he put it up for sale for $1.4 million).

It really wasn't until Henry River became District 12 that people came forward about their paranormal experiences in the town. Strangely enough...all the stories were similar, although the storytellers were complete strangers.
