A crumbling Turkish village has become a hotspot for ghost hunters and paranormal influencers after most of the population fled 40 years ago.

The village of Lubbey, in the Turkish province of Izmir, used to be home to over 200 people. Only five have remained since 2013, although the population increased to eight during the COVID-19 pandemic.
