thanks to google maps we no longer need to carry around cumbersome
and huge paper maps when we're traveling and we're able to visit almost any part
of the world virtually through our computers smartphones and tablets
but due to its wide coverage of the world it is inevitable that some of the scariest
places on earth and creepy google images will be captured leaving them exposed for all to see
number five
booger holler bridge is located about five miles from albemarle north carolina and allows passage
over big bear creek other than the fact that it looks old and disheveled the bridge seems to be
very normal and anyone passing over it would not think that it might be one of the scariest places
on earth found on google maps it is sad that many years ago a man was traveling over the bridge on
a horse and buggy accompanied by his son when they were unexpectedly swept off the bridge the
man is said to have lost consciousness and when he eventually came to his son was nowhere to be found
he searched the waters for hours until exhaustion took its toll and he also succumbed to the water
another tale involves a woman whose car stalled on the bridge during a flash flood she too was in the
car with one of her children when her vehicle was swept away and they both lost their lives
a third tale involves the capital punishment of a woman who was suspected of being a witch
the story goes that if you were to stop on the bridge late at night she can still be seen hanging
from a nearby tree that stretches out over the water some believe that when she is spotted she
tries to strangle anyone within reach some people have reported that if you were to stop your car
near the bridge at night screams can be heard coming from the woods and the vehicle would
struggle to start up again though some locals have chalked the screams coming from the woods up to
nothing more than bobcats others maintain that the bridge is haunted and not for the faint of heart
number four
the municipality of sagada is located in the mountain province in the philippines
the area is home to the kenkane people who have a truly bizarre way of burying their deceased
leading to some truly creepy google earth images on the side of the cliffs
in the area it's very common to stumble across coffins that have been hung there
the age of the coffins is not known and they've not yet been studied by archaeologists
but it's believed that they are several centuries old as this practice has been ongoing for a
very long time the coffins can be found under natural overhangs on the sides of the cliffs
and in some areas they're placed on natural rock shelves or on wooden beams that have
been slotted into holes dug into the cliffs the coffins are smaller than traditional
since it's tradition for the kanganae people to bury their loved ones in the fetal position
this is due to the belief that one should leave this world the same way that they entered a
tradition that is observed throughout many of the pre-colonial cultures in the philippines
the coffins are usually carved by the people who are to be buried in them and although there are a
great number of them it's not the usual practice for the canned cane people to be buried this way
only individuals who are considered to be distinguished or were honorable leaders
have the honor of being placed here with their social status being used as a gauge for how high
up their coffin should be placed it's far more common for coffins to be placed inside crevices
or to be stacked on top of each other inside limestone caves it's believed that this type
of burial allows the spirits of the deceased to keep roaming and protect those that are still
in the land of the living it's also believed that the higher up that an individual is buried
the easier it'll be for them to reach a higher nature when they pass over into the afterlife
though the coffins are securely fastened upon being placed on the cliffs they do eventually
deteriorate and it's been known that they may fall and crash open onto the ground below most of the
coffins are easy to find though there are some that are close to unreachable due to their height
but they're always left untouched out of respect for the deceased
number three
a creepy google image of a pond in byron township michigan tells the sad tale of a
mystery that was finally solved after nine years in 2015 brian houseman was decorating a pine tree
in preparation for christmas outside of cook funeral home in byron center he was making use
of a bucket to reach a higher part of the tree when he looked down at the pond and spotted
something that shocked him submerged in the water he saw what he believed to be the roof of a car
though he had no idea how it had ended up there he immediately phoned police who made their way
to the scene and extracted the vehicle from the water they noticed that there were no tire marks
leading to the pond and that the windows of the vehicle were covered in algae and
muck from the pond leading them to believe it had been there for quite some time the windows were so
dirty that they couldn't see inside and the doors were rusted shut making them impossible to open
they decided that their only option was to smash the driver's side and passenger side windows and
they found that the vehicle's occupant was still inside after finding a license plate and a wallet
and conducting a dna test they confirmed that the body in the car was that of 72 year old david lee
niles david was reported missing in 2006 nine years before his car was discovered in the pond
he'd been living in a motel in the wyoming area and after visiting a bar that night never returned
his family says that at the time of his disappearance he was suffering from cancer
and depression but he had a healthy relationship with him and would regularly keep in contact his
obituary which was published in 2011 by his family read that only god knows the time and
place of his passing but the discovery of his vehicle has brought them much-needed closure
number two
the village of nagoro in japan seems from afar to be much like the other villages found in the area
it's located in a remote region the nearest train station being over an hour away at first glance
it seems to be populated by mostly elderly people who are going about their day while
shopping waiting for the bus or gardening but upon closer inspection the village takes on
a far creepier atmosphere most of the people seen in the village are in fact not people
they're actually scarecrows which far outnumber the number of residents of the sleeping village
creating the appearance that it may be one of the scariest places on earth
today there are a total of 27 people who live there the youngest of which is over 50 years old
not too long ago the village was populated with over 300 residents but most of them have passed
away or moved to larger towns and cities in search of better job opportunities the scarecrows are
the creations of tsukimi ayano who was born in nagoro after moving to osaka during her childhood
she returned to the village as an adult and created a scarecrow in the image of her father
to keep the birds from eating the seeds planted in our family's plot she then had the idea to
create more of the scarecrows as a tribute to the residents of nagoro who'd passed away in 2003
she created one in the likeness of her neighbor who she used to talk to on a daily basis
she feels that she can now speak to him again just like it used to be as more of the villagers passed
away and moved to greener pastures she started to create more of the scarecrows in their images
each scarecrow takes about three days to make out of cotton and thanks to her creations the village
now sees upward of 3 000 people from all over the world visiting nagoro as tourists some of her
creations include construction workers installing a road sign a couple sitting arm and arm next
to a river a fisherman sitting on his porch next to his young daughter and several adults
seemingly toiling away in the gardens the last two elementary school students graduated a few years
ago and so the building which was used as a school was shut down but it has been brought back to life
by another of sukimi's creations which feature 12 students a teacher and parents attending classes
on the stage of a nearby gymnasium a wedding is depicted with the bride and groom dressed in
traditional western and japanese clothing six boys dressed in potato sacks stand next to the couple
in stark contrast to the formerly dressed party tsukimi now hosts regular workshops for those who
are interested in immortalizing themselves as a scarecrow resident of nagoro village
number one
trementina bays is located near the community of trementina new mexico an aerial view of
the area reveals a creepy google earth image a zigzagged road that leads to two intersecting
circles with diamond shapes in the center of each carved into the ground the circles are twelve
hundred feet wide and are located next to mesa huefanita mountain which summits at 6 348 feet
the site also includes two airstrips and is used as a storage facility by the church of scientology
the vault which has been dubbed by many as the space alien cathedral
serves as an archival storage for the works of the church's founder
l ron hubbard which are considered by his followers to be scriptural writings and lectures
an ex-scientologist has revealed that the symbols were created on the mountain as a
guide for leaders of the church who make their way back there from the ends of the universe
after a nuclear armageddon has wiped out all of humanity behind a three-story house which covers
the entrance to the vault tunnels that reach hundreds of feet underground have been dogged
and are said to contain hubbard's works the texts are believed to be either engraved on
stainless steel tablets or on gold discs which are encased in titanium capsules and sealed
with argon underground a paved path leading from the house leads to the mile-long landing strips
water storage units and several rv trailers the complex in its entirety is built to top
50 to 60 acres in the middle of the new mexico desert about 20 miles west of las vegas
chief of las vegas sheriff's department tom gallaghs was given a tour of the vault in
the late 1990s and is believed to be the only non-scientologist to ever set foot inside the
facility he reported that the vault is full of machinery designed to copy hubbard's works
and that while he was there people were transferring writings speeches and videos
during the tour he felt like they were hiding something from him
and he realized that he'd only seen two people during the entire time he was there
