There was an actual town in Southern India named Danushkodi. It used to be the "transfer station" for the train/ferry between India and Sri Lanka. Until one late night in 1964 when a cyclone hit the area and wiped it away.
Before you read this article, from Wikipedia, please note that every time someone goes to Danushkodi they are accosted by hundreds of flies, and not just ordinary houseflies: Muscina Flies to be exact.
Also note, everyone has warned each traveler NOT to ever SLEEP there - they do not say why, but there must be some mysterious and powerful forces in this area that (according to Hindu legend) was once traversed by Lord Rama.
This "ghost town" is only accessible by 4-wheel drive vehicles as the "road" disappears.
