A Rare Look At The Bay Area's Only Ghost Town
DRAWBRIDGE (KPIX 5) — Ghostly echoes helped tell the tale of a place where its history was, at times, as murky as the San Francisco Bay waters that now threaten it.
KPIX 5 got special permission from the federal government to go on a rare tour of a place that few people know exist and fewer still have ever visited. We visited Drawbridge, the Bay Area's only ghost town.
Ghostly echoes helped tell the tale of a place where its history was, at times, as murky as the bay waters that now threaten it.
"It's the most relaxing place in the world," said long-gone Drawbridge resident Nelly Dollin on an archived tape.
Though it doesn't look like it now, people called Drawbridge home for more than a century as they built lives on its marsh mud.
