But what is the area that piqued the interest of the unlucky TikToker? The ghost town of Roghudi Vecchio, in the mountainous region of Calabria, was once the seat of one of Italy’s last Greek-speaking communities.

Roghudi Vecchio lies completely abandoned, with the remnants of crumbling houses and rotting furniture still left behind.

The town in Italy’s Aspromonte mountains was founded in the eleventh century, and the roots of its former inhabitants can be traced back to ancient times.

Many left the town in favor of building the new Roghudi after damage caused by the earthquakes of 1783. It suffered from numerous landslides and floods over time, and was finally completely evacuated in 1971 when it was declared uninhabitable, reports the local travel guide of Calabria.

It is now possible to wander the overgrown streets of this small town, peering through doorways to find crumbling walls and abandoned furniture beneath disintegrating rooftops.
