DESERTED VILLAGES.
DmnIl European Towns That Have
Been Left to the Ravsges
of Time.

1t seems difficult to realize that
there are in Great Britain whole
villages existing to-day wherein is not
to be found single inhabitant. It
is interesting, moreover, to trace the
cause Of such desolation, both in Eng
land and abroad, where empty towns
are almost ubiquitous
The public attention was recently
drawn to the case Of the village Of
Congleton, on the Macclesfield high
road, which consists Of over 60 houses
and cottages. not one Of which is
occupied.
But this instance is by no means
unique. In county Donegal, Ireland
there is small town in q similarly
deserted condition. Over 100 houses
60 to form it, and the public build
fngs include Roman Catholic chapel,
police station and little post office.
Yet not one of the houses is occupied
Why? Because Of the bansheel The
unfortunate little town acquired the
reputation Of being haunted, and the
superstitious inhabitants have one by
one deserted the place.
Nor is this cause of desertion
unique. Not in Ireland alone, but in
England and Scotland, too, there are
villages Of smaller or greater size rep
uted to be haunted. Some OF these
are entirely and some only partly un-
inhabited, but. one and all, they pre-
sent the appearance of having been
branded with a. mark recommending
man to avoid them.
In the Auvergne mountains Of
France there are two adjacent vii
lagos without inhabitants. In this
case ghosts are not responsible for
the state of affairs, though More
and material beings have
worked the desolation. The villages
are the hunting grounds of fierce
