1. There is a town named Redditt in Ontario, where, until 1985, its main street was called Highway 666, and later renamed because a church was located at the end of the street.
The church later demanded the street be renumbered so that it was not sitting on the "Highway To Hell." It has since been changed to Highway 658. H/T Reddit, of course.
2. Kitsault is a town in British Columbia that was abandoned nearly overnight in 1983. The buildings and parks still stand, and the power is still on.

13. Churchill, Manitoba is known for the world's first and only polar bear prison — yes, it's a prison with polar bear inmates who've been very bad.
