The Ghost Village In Turkey

Last August I went away for 2 weeks to Turkey with my boyfriend, sister, brother-in law and 2 nephews. Towards the end of the last week me and my boyfriend booked a Quad-Biking trip, which we went on in the evening as it was to hot and humid to go at any other time in the day.

There was a group of around 10 people who went on this trip - the guy who was in charge took us all around the mountains and to lots of different beaches. On our way back we stopped off at what is known in Turkey as the Ghost Village/Town. Here he let us park our Quads and look around for half an hour.

It was very strange - there was a huge mountain surrounding it with small stone huts scattered all along it. Lots of animals such as dogs, camels and donkeys were wondering around and the people were all huddled in one corner playing guitars and dressed as hippies - they didn't acknowledge that we were there the whole time. It was like something out of a film...

Most of the animals seemed restless - the dogs were barking and the donkeys were screeching and bucking. Me and my boyfriend took some pictures of the place as it was a really interesting little village. We noticed in the far corner - near where the camels were, a dog tied to the fence and a donkey tied to a tree, they both had no water so we went over to share ours with them. The donkey seemed abit stressed that we had come over and starting making that awful screeching sound. I took a picture of him because he was cute but noticed that on the picture there was a grey/blue mist hovering around him. It looks like someone was stood next to me smoking and has blew smoke in front of the lense - but non of us were smoking.

 

 

I also took pictures of the mountains from a distance and I noticed that on 2 of the pictures you can see what look like Orbs... It just seemed ironic that this small village was known as the Ghost Village - maybe now I know why!
