    I love Chinese Camp, because it's a part of my family history. That brick building with green doors was originally a store. My great-great grandfather built it and ran it. One of the buildings down the street was a boarding house where my great-grandma had an encounter with Black Bart. Lots of history in this town!

    Lionel here in Central California. I live about 35 miles from there and ride my Harley through the town which has a small bar/store, school, and post office. Plus residents. Has the old buildings as shown plus a fire station and church on the other side of highway 49. Is it haunted, not sure, ghost town, I don’t think so! Just saying…

    What neither this video nor Wikipedia tells me is where all the Chinese people went. Were they also victims of the Chinese Exclusion Act and the associated racial hatred that came with it ??? The 2000 & 2010 Census shows that the remaining tiny population is almost all White. 😮

    I grew up in Calaveras, Amador and Tuamie counties areas There is lots historical sites all over the place when I was a teenager in the late 70s early 80s we used to go exploring around in these areas. They’re definitely old, but not haunted. matter fact, one of the buildings that you show in your video is a state historical landmark. If you can see the placard my grandparents old ranch in double Springs California has a old stage coach Wells Fargo stop there, and also the neighbor has the old mine in their pasture. It’s not haunted, your video was OK but it could’ve done without the creepy music

    Just a few things that I noticed. For a ghost town, why is there still power meters, A/C's, parked cars, etc. If the place were haunted (and I am not saying that it isn't), I know I wouldn't be hanging around to install the amenities.

    All the expertly placed "No Trespassing" signs are meaningless. Pigs like to apply the law out of context, to trespass a person you must steal apple from their tree, or drink from their pond. Walking up to a door to knock on it is totally legal. Most people call that soliciting... you can solicit your channel (ask the owner if you can record it, not your fault the owner is irresponsible)
