You’ll find Virginia’s mysterious Elko Tract ghost town in eastern Henrico County, where a secret WWII decoy airfield once protected Richmond’s Byrd Field. The 936th Camouflage Battalion transformed 2,400 acres into a fake military installation, complete with dummy planes and false runways. After the war, failed plans for a segregated mental hospital left the site abandoned. Today, urban explorers discover crumbling infrastructure and overgrown streets while local legends hint at deeper mysteries beneath the forest canopy.
