Nobody wants to buy this Connecticut ghost town that's on sale for $1.95 million

[TexasTowelie]

Johnsonville, Connecticut, looks straight out of an episode of "Twin Peaks" — old mill included. But unlike the small town on TV, Johnsonville has been abandoned for nearly 20 years.

Located on 62 acres off the Connecticut River, Johnsonville is up for grabs at $1.9 million. An eccentric millionaire with the funds to spare will find green pastures, old-timey buildings, and the former owner's mansion, which is rumored to be haunted by Mr. Johnson himself.

It's now unoccupied, with the exception of a caretaker and a security guard who keeps aspiring ghost hunters and urban explorers from snooping around the grounds. Take a look.

1. I've seen that town several times in articles

If I had the money for the town and the taxes I'd buy it

2. It's really cool, isn't it?

Imagine if it were turned into an artists community.

3. No doubt

If it were an island, I'd turn it into a haven for Republicans to move into and then sink it

4. Please

Don't waste a perfectly good, though imaginary, island on that depraved bunch.
