I remember the time when there used to be the village nearby mountain. And out of nowhere the summer time the town got vacant and the people vanished. We saw them leaving. Its not like some pandemic happened. but there was odd reason for them to leave. they literally left their good homes without taking out most of the stuff. they took the food and essentials and left. the village became abandoned overnight.
