It's time for a creepy one
so from a haunted Italian islands
To a hotel straight from the mind of Stephen King
Here are the 10 creepiest places on earth
built on the side of a mountain is Fengdu ghost city
it is the most majestic and possibly intentionally creepy ghost city in the world
the city is partly underwater
they say it is only partly underwater as not even the tides are brave enough to enter
Feng du was dedicated to the Buddhist concept of hell
and the whole place reflects this
From the statues of demons
...to more statues of demons
on a different note, for most disturbing thing about the city
are the statues of demons torturing humans in what I assumed to be hell
according to local legend the spirits of dead people must visit the city
they must stand on one foot for 3 full minutes and if they fail
they shall be cast into hell forever
el hotel Del Salto is a horror movie idyll
a long abandoned hotel built on a cliff side overlooking a waterfall
It was forced to close down due to river pollution and after 20 years of isolation
the place looks like the setting of a low-budget murder mystery game
now this may be why so many have journeyed to this spot to commit suicide
locals claim the hotel is haunted by hundreds of ghosts
they say spirits of the dead climb out of the river back into the hotel where they walk the corridors to this day
let me take you back to 1831
located in present-day Lithuania, a revolt against Russian monarch was violently put down
In order to commemorate the dead locals played crosses on a nearby hill
And right now there are over 200,000 crosses and shrines on that hill
There is just something creepy about being surrounded by so many crosses
the site is growing very quickly as people keep adding crosses
maybe soon the whole of Lithuania will be engulfed by wooden crosses
Fort Alexander is a naval fort built on a man-made island
the menacing island is located in the Gulf of Finland partly to intimidate foreign visitors
but also to prevent any dangerous diseases from reaching land
you see
fort alexander is known as the plague fort of Russia
the fort was used as a research center for the plague
although mostly just animals were experimented on
there are many accounts of doctors catching the disease
which meant they could never leave the island
Nara dreamland is an abandoned aging theme park in Japan
it was built in the 1960's as a response to America's Disneyland
in 2006 it was abandoned and hasn't been used since transforming it from a child's dream to anyone's nightmare
nara dreamland is so creepy and has aged so quickly
that it raises the question as to whether Disneyland theme parks are suitable for children as almost no one thinks they are
only recently discovered are the Southbridge volts
these stone corridors and tomb-like vaults
were home to drinking spots and market traders
as well as some of Scotland's poorest people and even home to the bodies of those killed by the notorious serial killers Burke and Hare
the vaults were sealed and lost to time but
they were rediscovered in the nineteen eighties with dozens of reports of
paranormal encounters you wouldn't want to visit the place at night
In 2009, a BBC TV crew recorded twenty minutes of mysterious voices
before they ended with the sounds of children screaming
no sound engineer could find any logical reason for this
the Ukrainian city of Pripyat was evacuated shortly after the chernobyl
power plants went into meltdown to this day of the entire city lies abandoned
all the schools hospitals houses and even clocks are still there in the exact
same position as when the power went out as if frozen in time I would avoid
visiting the city as if the radioactive material doesn't kill you
mutated animals might
there is a forest at the base of Mount Fuji deep within this forest over 100
people commit suicide every year they say you never die alone in suicide
forest no one really knows why so many choose to Adolf themselves here in the
forest but people are employed full time and given the task of removing the
bodies
the catacombs of Paris lie sixty feet below the city at one point they were
used to literally dump bodies as local graveyards were overflowing they contain
the remains of an estimated six million people leading to the catacombs being
known as the largest grave in the world over the years many people have found
themselves lost in the tunnels and died trying to get out the most famous was a
man who died in there 1793. His body wasn't found until eleven years later
Poveglia holds the title of the world's most haunted island the 18 acre island
features both an abandoned mental asylum and a few plague pits that's rights
plague pits (a hole in the ground where plague infected peasants would be thrown into)
the island was a quarantine zone for hundreds of years but there is one
story that made the island the legend it is. In 1922 the islands became home
to a mental asylum and an evil doctor who experimented it on his patients one night
he jumped from the hospital tower screaming that he was tormented by
ghosts
