  • Bathsheba (Hebrew: בת שבע, Bat Sheva, "daughter of the oath") or Bethsheba is a ghost town that was located in Oklahoma, United States. While its exact location is unknown, it was located between Enid, Oklahoma and Perry, Oklahoma. The town was created to be a utopia for women and no men were allowed. Even male animals were barred from the colony. The town is also the subject of a realistic fiction book by Barbara DeVault entitled A Gentle Breed: The Story of Bathsheba, A Town Without Men. Bathsheba was due west of Purcell. The John W. Morris version, “Ghost Towns of Oklahoma” is the correct story. Isolation caused this town to go under. Corbett, Oklahoma was its antithesis. John Corbett created a town (Corbett) due east of Bathsheba. Corbett's utopia was a planned community free of vice. Both of these isolationist communities failed. (en)
