16x9 | Ghost Town: Canadian community abandoned 30 years ago

16:9 takes you to a real-life ghost town - Kitsault, BC. Find out why this entire Canadian community was abandoned more than 30 years ago. Carolyn Jarvis reports.

[@GreenFuel00]

Imagine owning an entire abandoned city and having it all to yourself and friends. That would be so awesome..

[@eugenefreeman3639]

yes it would be awesome but probably all the people died and their ghost comes at night

[@flyerboy2594]

+Eugene Freeman how old are you.kid

[@jr1019]

Horrible idea

+GreenFuel00 Can you afford the property tax? And what happens if you fall, and break your leg? Where is the nearest Medi-vac helicopter, or staffed hospital?

[@AncientArtisanStudio]

I live in lower mainland BC. I'm an artist. as long as I could get internet, I would live there. It's beautiful.

[@AncientArtisanStudio]

I'm near the Fraser river just over an hour's drive east of Vancouver

+Ed Parks I din't really understand why this small town had to be abandoned..at all....

[@cassiesantamaria2281]

+Αγγελική Κουλούρη they were forced to leave by the former mine/land owner, based from the video.

[@MsCanadianAngelxo]

+Αγγελική Κουλούρη In the south, prices collapsed under the pressures of the 1982 recession and there was the arrival of molybdenum by-product production from copper mines. The same radical shifts in molybdenum supply and demand that had sent prices soaring were now causing prices to crash. People were out of work, and convoys of moving vans began to work their way in from Terrace, the nearest active city. No jobs, no money = no small town. you can read more on their website www.kitsault.com/about_hist.html

CdnAngelXO hi pretty lady

[@andrewbui8295]

And here we are in 2016. I'm glad that guy decided to use his fortune to bring a town back to life. Im one of those people who believe that all old things should be preserved or in this case, brought back to life. It makes me want to move to Kitsault now :)

[@creepingnet]

I'd like to see it made into it's own retro-community/escape - put all the 70's/80's stuff to good use!

[@AceSoulWolf]

+Mad-Mike's "Creeping Net" Channel That would be amazing

[@johnberry8367]

the suburban town I grew up in still has the 70s 80s décor and infrastructure but with fast food restaurants and, service stations... etc being updated with in the past 10 to 15 years or so

[@101Volts]

+Mad-Mike's "Creeping Net" Channel Huh, nice seeing you here too.

[@BroncoBillyGarage]

yes!!!

[@BroncoBillyGarage]

+Jason Maynard i am 16yrs old and like the old stuff, so its not "retro" to me, it normal

[@VinylToVideo]

Would be nice if they didn't completely modernize this place. Keep it as it is and no cell phone towers or internet access. Would be quite a nice haven from all the noise and busyness of our current world.

[@freshimpactco.8698]

I find It a little difficult to believe that a millionaire is claiming that he isn't interested in making any money... I mean cmon lol

[@MrMurfthesurf]

For some people there is enough

[@freshimpactco.8698]

Perhaps you are right, but I see a man here who wants to make money. He became a millionaire from property development. lol

[@dunford10]

Fresh Impact Co.

[@jeremiahjones2829]

Fresh Impact Co. you're right, I think that whole artist community was just for the cameras, as he is pushing hard now to try build a LNG pipeline/seaport.

[@taxol2]

Probably his personal pet project. Like some artist, there are works for sale and a few that are not for sale due to personal reason. He probably already have lots of pharmacies and properties that generate enough money to start this personal project.

Unlike Detroit, obviously Kitsault isn't plagued with crime, vandalism, looting and graffiti. Thank goodness for that. I wish the community well on its rebirth.

[@1940limited]

Yuhp, you got that right!

[@1940limited]

Sometimes it's not a matter of people being small minded, they just speak the truth!

[@gordon3186]

The bashing of iconic American cities like Chicago and Detroit are a favored right-wing pastime. Along with being a thinly veiled racism. (Pssst.... anti-social behavior isn't about melanin.)

[@HerculesCommand]

g bridgman Detroit is a great place to live, full of freedom and honest people trying to sruvive. The problems in Detroit have alot to do with the same economic piracy that's stripping the world bare right now. Please don't use us as a cheap joke or to prove some political point. It's already drawing the racists. And please don't give up on the People of Detroit.

[@1940limited]

Detroit's main problem is loss of good jobs mostly connected to the auto industry. That, in part, can be blamed on bad corporate management. Corrupt government and school boards didn't help either.

[@AnalystRK]

I am from Toronto and have master degree in chemical engineering. If I am promised a job there, I would not mind going and living there.

[@AnalystRK]

Ninth Arch sorry for very late reply. I did try to search their website for job application. I think they are only hiring handy work people right now (carpenter, plumber, mason...etc).

[@Blendeture]

1:43 All 70's malls had brown floor tiles. It was all about the earth tones, more plants in planters too in those days.

[@Emmewantspeace]

Blendeture I always wondered why in tv shows in those times or portrayed in those times, everyone has extremely bland furniture and wall colors. It's quite depressing to me. If earth tones were the trend, that makes sense. Although, I'm rather into earth tones, but in a very modern way.

[@ROCdevelopments]

+Salem Saberhagen You're gonna live in a damped up "ready-to-go" house with no money or food nearby? Who are you going to beg from? Where are you gonna recycle your cans? You wanna be close to the rich and where there is a lot of food.

[@ROCdevelopments]

***** It's not a bad idea, but since the refugees complain when they get cooked food, a house, electricity and free medical care 24/h I can hardly see it happening.

[@Andreananook]

He changed his mind In January of this year, however, Suthanthiran formed Kitsault Energy and began pitching the empty town as an ideal location to build a liquid natural gas plant and pipeline terminal to ship B.C.'s vast natural gas resources to markets in Asia. His original idea for the town sounded great but his new idea on what to turn the town into sounds gross and unapealing.

[@rxonmymind8362]

Hmmm....A nice vacation spot perhaps. I wish this new owner the most success in bringing this place back up. He need to put in an air strip. That drive is a deal killer there. Cheers

[@WAJK2030]

[@georgerosado5194]

and no squatters tempted to live there with in all 30 years. wow

[@CenturianEagle]

Muse M its remote but if I was a squatter or homeless man with a couple homeless friends I would be like guys we have to get there! It's the promised land for us hobos! And then make the journey, it would be like their life dream to reach there no matter the difficulty. Hell, there might have even been some morphine left over in those hospitals and they could have a real party.it would be weaker after 3 decades sure, but if you have enough of it, that should be no problem.

Read about the Matewan Massacre in 1921 in West Virginia, which was part of the Coal Wars to see how families of terminated employees were literally thrown into the streets at gunpoint by coal co agents.

Yes, but if there were no rich people; we would all be rich. We wouldn't have to follow what they do; instead, we would start our own projects.

it may be a time travel project. Things from 1980 should be kept as those are and people may come to have the taste of 1980 life. Time Travel motel could be a nice name.

It is almost 2014 I would like to see this town and the progress made!

[@hanwenzero]

not even one broken window or graffiti?! that's true middle of nowhere Canada xD

[@koge]

my biggest question is why everything seems to be well kept and also very clean looking, no any single tree or nature wildlife that ruin any of the building?

[@MsCanadianAngelxo]

Today, the only inhabitants are a caretaker, who looks after cutting the lawns, a family of foxes and an occasional grizzly bear that wanders in to scavenge fallen fruit. Up the valley under a lush green old growth forest still lies 110 million tons of molybdenum. You can read the history on his website www.kitsault.com/about_hist.html

[@JoshRombo]

CdnAngelXO it doesn't say any house prices :'(

[@zulfadhlizainal8176]

ahhh that bring back the old memories, i used to live there

[@generalcoon47]

Seems like an amazing little town. I'd consider living there myself if it ever does get reestablished. I hope it does. No crime, no thugs, no gangs, no stupid riots, no smog, just nature, happy people, fresh air, and a great community.

[@sevewone]

You are not very smart. What do you think happens when people inhabit somewhere? Pretty much everything you listed .

[@generalcoon47]

sevewone I didn't say it would be perfect but there are certain places just like Kitsault where plenty of people live and there isn't much crime and whatnot. Some Alaskans leave their doors unlocked so they can share each other's food in the winter. Most thug trash would be lazy to move up to the cold Canadian mountains anyway. I still think it would be a good little place to live.

[@waynejohnson1786]

And then there's homeless people in the world without a home etc. This town been abandoned for more then 30 years, with the lights turned on, all houses & apartments in top condition, shops, bank, school, library, a shopping mall & the list goes on. Plus natural beauty all around it, the best water etc... All there without people for more then 30 years. All I can say is, our world are so selfish, this big corporate companies only think about making money that's all! Many people without a home could benefit from this & be secure & happy.

Latest on Kitsault, BC On January 8th, 2013, Kitsault Resorts announced the plan of establishing an LNG plant, refinery, and export terminal in Kitsault, BC. The proposed facility will provide export of energy products and pipelines will be established for oil, natural gas, and refined petroleum products that will travel to/from Kitsault, BC from Alberta, as well as Northeast and Northwest British Columbia. These products will be shipped to Asia and other high demand markets. This project is estimated to cost $20 to $30 Billion CAD/USD. We will be working with a consortium of energy producers, governments, customers, engineering firms, investors, First Nations, and others to accomplish these goals.

[@oldmaidwhovianakanancyg4425]

That's a shame, to see so many abandoned dwellings. There's so many poor and homeless people out there, who would give anything to have a nice home / town to live in. Alas, greed and selfishness rule the world, so places like this rot away while those that need it most continue to suffer.

Valueless Dollar I wish it had been left alone... or, at least, I wish this stupid channel had taken more footage of it. I am extremely interested in seeing entire houses that have been untouched for 30 years. It makes you wonder what could have been left in the fridge... It would be nice if it could have been preserved, but we all know that nature would take its toll, over time. Still, it's a bit mind boggling to think of all the cool things that had been left there and untouched.

I'd love to visit this place, the scenery looks stunning. The town would be a good movie setting (especially any story set in the 70s/80s).

[@manymelons46]

i think an update on this 4-5 years later would be awesome

[@kristinamikkelsoncasanova6287]

really interesting story love it

[@schlooonginator1227]

Well, its his money, his town, I cannot say I think his idea is that bad. He is talking elite forward thinking people which would include intellectuals, scientists. Whats wrong with that?

[@abefroman3903]

Its because they are all greedy fucks ,who are scheming opportunist that stick to their own and never give back.Its shameful that they try to pass themselves off as Canadians,spend a day in Bellingham our Tulalip you will want to hide your licence plate.Their idea of a good deal is how bad they fucked somebody over.

[@ffjsb]

abe froman As typical with most racists, you're completely ignorant. By your comments, it's clear that you didn't listen to anything in the video.

[@abefroman3903]

ffjsb No I just love my country but despise Richmond .Oh and Surrey.Disgusting!!!!!!

[@ffjsb]

abe froman Like I said...

[@abefroman3903]

ffjsb Like you said what?? That this town is going to be full of BMWs and people who don't know how to drive them

[@EduardvanKleef]

In a way, I quite admire someone doing such a constructive job. I'm just amazed that it didn't rot down further than it did. Just look at what happened to Chernobyl in a similar time frame...

[@russellking9762]

the rot will be imported when you put people in there…graffiti….meth cooks…rats…(two and four legged) and rubbish etc….humans pack all that stuff before they pack their toothbrush

[@Vicvines]

Why is all the grass mowed?

[@gorillafoot1372]

+Vic Vinegar sorry about that, my ex got hungry.

[@ms.stiletto1833]

the city/ county takes over

[@FreshLyte]

+Henrick Likesrabbits I believe he was going for COW.

[@AttilatheThrilla]

Aren't you a real-estate agent?

[@TheCatAteMyShoe]

I would LOVE to live there.

[@escoba1971]

me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JeremyEr10]

Don't let Jeff get you...

[@escoba1971]

lol

[@MrKappaBeta]

That's what all the people said as the police escorted them off the property.

[@escoba1971]

***** aaawwww, how romantic .

[@CanMav]

Irony, now he wants to install heavy industry in Kitsault because he has lost so much money. He is trying to get a LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) pipeline through the town.

[@nobodythatyouknow241]

Kitsault was built for heavy industry. It was a company town built for a mine.

[@eclipsephoenixgamergirl1096]

This is more amazing to find a abandon town in the middle of no where and find a town thats been there for 30 years in total

[@Prabhsehajbawa]

it's so bad that these homes are left and no one's live here the Beauty of the surrounding is so good

[@aeoo371]

Well any updates on this town??? Beautiful place to live. Today's date is November 2 2016 . This video was posted over 4 1/2 years ago.

[@mrs.tinarypstra4300]

That's what I was thinking lol

[@beautifuuul16]

Agreed!!!! I would like to visit this little gem.

[@charlieraven6342]

I would honestly love to live there

[@beress2145]

me too

[@Eshenshawn]

t raven I live in Canada and it's s nice place and very peaceful

[@jennfaire8726]

Sure you would, lol

[@jessdeo5118]

If I become a fully-fledged scientist, I'd love to live here and work with you Sir.

[@ECStout]

I could truly enjoy living there in such beauty for the remainder of my life - Imagine waking up each morning to such a view - OMG!

[@eaglevision993]

If you need an architect overthere give me a call. This town would be such a peaceful community I´d be moving there in an instant. But leave that cool 70´s interior including the appliances and TV.

[@tacticalnewfie2922]

Now you got the right idea! Leave it as the Time Machine it is...

[@Jesses001]

I kind of liked that interior as well. Most of the time the 70s make me a bit sick to my stomach, but the one they showed looked nice. I guess since it was barely used, it look better than normal.

[@Blahbevava]

OMG a town frozen in the 80s and why are we not living there. LOL

[@g00gleminus96]

+Mr. Extreme Because there's no jobs there. No way to make a living.

[@scottwallace3549]

Survived the disco era once and are still not finished thanking God for that?

[@torreah]

Frozen in the 70's did you see that TV? And the furniture. lol

[@Blahbevava]

Scott Wallace Disco era was still a hell of a lot better than the horrible shit hop era that's been blaring in the mainstream since 1990! That shit needs to die!

[@elemental7359]

No ps4s :(

[@OMGBEKKAG]

So many beautiful homes, just sitting empty. I would love to go explore there

[@wklis]

Would make a good movie set.

[@bryantcontreras4605]

I honestly think its pretty unreal to believe that this man whom owns so many businesses and has so many millions of dollars didn't see the profit of the property. common let's be real. what a coincidence that everything is all of a sudden bringing in profit...

[@IIcyTom]

tbh, if I lived in canada, I would of gone through those houses before that guy bought it and get some free furniture

[@systemadmin2350]

I don't mind living here....so lovely

[@makade.miigwan]

Aw; looks like a very beautiful town. I'd love to live there. 🌸🌿

[@paulajamebailey5541]

wow! what an amazing place, i would love the quality of life a pace like this could give my family... my family would really make it home.

[@alextyy]

Paula JameBailey until u find out that a bottle of pop is $20 a can

[@jamiemay7828]

That would be when you use wood stoves and live off of wild meat and gardens as much as you can. It'd be healthier anyway

[@dreamer5013]

she said it would be open in 2011 but this was posted in 2012

[@dreamer5013]

matty8009 haha thanks!😋

[@OshiKuru7321]

Ashlie Bowers Hey Ashlie lmao getting hit on even in the KZbin comments 😂

[@dreamer5013]

Shaylena73 right welcome to my life .😂

[@dreamer5013]

Bryan O Connor so the top.of your foot is your best fetcher? because hunny your face is pretty wack 😂

[@janelles9312]

Ashlie Bowers damn you destroyed him 😂😂😂

[@luisalmeida1391]

I love these topics.

[@rutbrea8796]

It's a beautiful place. I wish I could go there to plain air painting. If only I had the financial possibilities to get a little terrain for as.Ll cottage before I die. I am 73 years old and have no one. This would be a place for my burial and leave my paintings to the town museum. That is my dream, leave my paintings to the world that is almost gone, so that the new generation would see and remember 3humans who once lived there.

[@icanbreathe2730]

They should let homeless ppl work and live there

[@palmina77italiana]

This place would be PERFECCCTTTT for a new movie!! :) Zombies, vampire empire lol something lol

[@palmina77italiana]

***** and you just HAD to troll. You don't have to, you know. Just saying.

[@Calling321]

+Palmina D'Alessandro Yes it would

[@TheMrSidekick]

+Palmina D'Alessandro i think the movie "house of wax" was shot here

[@palmina77italiana]

***** lol really now

[@palmina77italiana]

***** thank you :)

[@itz_ryan6364]

Too bad to see that this town is abandoned. It's a nice town! Its also crazy that power is still on. This should be brought back to life.

[@itz_ryan6364]

It's also nuts everything is still there and left the same. As you would think it would be vandalized! But it's amazing

[@elmhaven]

Fascinating. I'd live there in a heartbeat. I do hope his dream was realized.

[@Tamlin73]

Wow...i wana live there :) even if i come from Norway.

[@tenaciousgord2086]

Æ joina, men du får sørg før at vi får internett!

[@Tamlin73]

Haha, internet is a must :P

[@koen577]

Well, it has a fjord, it'll be like you never left. :)

[@Tamlin73]

Cool :)

[@NikoBaws]

Jon Eirik Martinsen lol norway xD I'm from norway xD

[@raedeankendall9169]

I want to live here! How do ya make it happen?

[@chairde]

I love this. What a great guy.

[@ukeelady]

This looks like many of the pop up towns that BC Hydro built while building the larger dams (Peace River/Mica Creek ie). Really odd feeling to watch an entire lil town full of life, emptied and then flooded. Crazy.
