 It’s an underground tomb containing the remains of about 6 million people. It’s located south of the former city gate and actually occupies the place of what used to be Paris’s stone mines.


2. Pripyat, Ukraine

Once the ninth nuclear city in Soviet Union for the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, it’s now abandoned due to the Chernobyl disaster that took place on April 26th, 1986 and forced all the 49,360 population to vacate the city.


3. Aokigahara forest, Japan

It lies at the northwest base of Mount Fuji in Japan and is historically linked to demons in Japanese mythology. What is more unusual about this forest, also known as the Sea of Trees, is its being a popular place for suicides. Despite the signs in Japanese and English, urging people to seek help and reconsider their actions, about 100 suicides happen there every year.
 
 
4. Underground vaults, Edinburgh, Scotland

There represent a series of chambers formed in the arches of the South Bridge in Edinburgh. The bridge was completed in 1788 and for over 30 years was used to store illegal material such as the bodies of people killed by serial killers Burke and Hare for medical experiments.Paranormal activity has been frequently reported and many people claim to have had ghost encounters there.


5. Easter Island, Chile

It’s a Polynesian island located in the Pacific Ocean.It is also one of the most remote inhibited islands in the world. It owes its name to the first recorded European visitor, the Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen who encountered the island on Easter Sunday, 1722. Easter Island is world famous for its large stone statues called moai. The statues were carved around 1100-1680 CE and it still remains a mystery how these supposedly primitive people were able to do that immense job without special technology.

Not sure any of these are scary since I haven’t been to any of them.  Actually, they just look interesting to me.  Have you been to any of these?  If so, is it scary?

  6. Not for me either, but does look interesting. :) I wonder what about the forest in Japan makes it homey to those that want to die? It seems weird that people would have a place like that. So sad. :(
