Keith Dotson Interviewed About Union Level Ghost Town for New Book

An interview with photographer Keith Dotson has been published in the new book, Haunted Highways of Virginia by Michael Kleen

In August 2025, I was interviewed about my experiences shooting photos at the ghost town in Union Level, Virginia. The resulting story has been published in a new book from Arcadia Publishing, Haunted Highways of Virginia by Michael Kleen.

The book also drew material from my video interview with Union Level native Jimmy O. Thompson, who owns several of the remaining “abandoned” buildings still standing in Union Level. That interview can be seen on YouTube here.

The Union Level section of Haunted Highways of Virginia runs from page 119 – 122.
