Fordlândia, Henry Ford's ghost town
Henry Ford founded Fordlândia on the Tapajós in 1928 as a rubber plantation town with American houses, a hospital and dance halls. Disease, revolt and failure followed, and it was abandoned by Ford in 1945.

The account
Workers rioted in 1930 over rules and food. The empty water tower and houses are often called a ghost town, though some residents still live there.
The sceptical view
A 'ghost town' in the economic sense; no documented haunting lore is cited here.
