The city of Plymouth on the island of Montserrat was evacuated back in 1995 because of the danger a nearby volcano posed to residents. A couple of years later, said volcano erupted, offering Plymouth something to share with Pompeii besides the initial letters of their names. The folks at BuzzFeed have some pictures of that now half-buried, all-deserted and mostly wrecked city, here.
Two of the wildest to me are nos. 23 and 25, a buried church and courthouse, respectively. When you see what used to be the upper floor on one building or the steeple on another now halfway under the surface of the ground, that's plenty eerie.
