Creepiest Places on Planet Earth

 

#10 Kabayan

Kabayan is a collection of man made caves in The Philippines. Each cave is filled with mummies. Kabayan mummies are some of the best preserved on earth, and Kabayan is overflowing with them. And there are so many caves that it's easy to get lost...among thousands of mummies...that look spry enough to leap right out of their pods.

#9 The Island of the Dolls

Once upon a time, the legends say, a little girl drowned in a canal surrounding an uninhabited island in Mexico. Days after they found the body, dolls began to float to the island. No one is 100% sure where the dolls came from. But today, they hang from trees. Now the area is nicknamed Island of the Dolls.

#8 The Door to Hell

That's right kids. Hell is a very real place. The doorway leading to it can be found in Turkmenistan. This literal hell hole was created by Soviet scientists. When they discovered natural gas in the pit, they started a fire to burn it off. That fire has been burning for the past 40 years. Not scary enough? Spiders are attracted to the spot and gather around the door to hell by the thousands.

#7 Hellingly Hospital

Hellingly Hospital in East Sussex, England is a real life insane asylum straight out of a horror movie. It opened in 1903 and lobotomized and electrocuted it's patients for 90 years until it was finally shut down. The building has been abandoned since 1994. Every year, a few photographers are brave enough to visit Hellingly Hospital. The pictures are right out a nightmare.

#6 Akodessewa

The Akodessewa Fetish Market may be the best place in the world to fall prey to a voodoo curse. This fetish market has all of the shrunken heads and mummified remains that the indigenous people of Togo need to practice their craft. But it's not all mummies and parts. There are bones, cauldrons and mysterious potions as well. Tourists have been officially advised to avoid Akodessewa when at all possible.

#5 The Matsuo Ghost Mine

The Matsuo Ghost Mine haunts northern Japan. It was once the largest sulfur mine in East Asia. But it was abandoned in the 1970s. Since then, it's been a ghost town that's shrouded in thick mist. It's so heavy that sometimes the city of Matsuo is nearly impossible to find.

#4 Centralia, Pennsylvania

Centralia is a real life Silent Hill. It was once a prosperous mining town -- until miners accidentally set the mines beneath it on fire. The coal veins underneath Centralia have been on fire since 1962. Today, Centralia is abandoned except for the smoke that pours out of the cracks in the ground. But thrill seekers still visit the ghost town -- just probably not at night.

#3 Prague's Old Jewish Cemetery

Regular cemeteries are terrifying. But Prague's Old Jewish Cemetery is 11 cemeteries stacked on top of one another. That's 11 times the corpses laying under your feet. It's also 11 times the creep-out factor.

#2 The Catacombs

Paris doesn't immediately spring to mind when thinking about the creepiest places on earth. But underneath the croissants and cobblestone streets are miles of underground tunnels. And those tunnels are filled with the bones of dead Frenchmen. When Paris' cemeteries began to fill up, the French simply began to shove corpses away underground. At last count, there were around 6 million bodies stored in the deep, dank passageways of Paris.

#1 Aokigahara Forest

Aokigahara is Japan's suicide forest. Walk through it and you run serious risk of stumbling into a dead body. So many people have "visited" Aokigahara Forest that park rangers have put up signs that say "life is precious" and "think of your family." Park rangers still have to make regular trips into the forest to collect what bodies they can find. Sometimes, inquisitive tourists stumble upon the sites.

 So what do you think?  Anyone willing to tour these places?

  1. Definitely not willing to tour. And I think Paris should officially have its' title of "City of Romance" removed, ewww! I do, however, love horror films :-)

  2. Maybe #4 Centralia but they all sound like places that I would rather avoid.

    1. They are all creepy Rose but don't think I would visit Centralia simply because with all that coal burning, it would be very easy to fall through a soft or hollow spot!

    1. Some are creepier than others NiNa...I believe that some places have more energy...some positive some negative...have to wonder if that forest in Japan has more negative energy. That is a sad place.

  4. Oh boy Cat, these are all creepy and I definitely wouldn't want to visit! Not sure what creeped me out the most but the description of the spiders gathering around the entrance to hell gave me the shivers. Spiders freak me out!

    1. Hey Roz...the spiders gathered round the 'entrance to hell' creeps me out also. Think the only way I would view that particular spot is by air. Haven't found out what species of spiders so not sure if they are poisonous or not...have no intention of visiting...poisonous or not. ;)

      Hugs and Blessings...

  8. You couldn't pay me enough to visit the one with thousands of spiders!! Those dolls hanging in the trees seriously creeps me out too! I might actually visit Centralia Pennsylvania. In broad daylight with a crowd, lol! Would you visit them Cat?

    1. Hey Queenie...As I told Rose above, I would not visit Centralia due to safety issues...when you have the mines burning for that long, you are gonna have sinkholes. As I told Roz above...not sure if the spiders are poisonous or not but don't care...would not visit the 'entrance to hell' except by air...not even sure I would do it then. The dolls is seriously creepy and totally sad...not gonna visit there.

      I would go to the Paris catacombs and the old Jewish cemetery in Prague.

      Hugs and Blessings...

  9. Oh gosh, Cat!! These are SO CREEPY!! I will stay away. Except- Rob and I did visit the catacombs last year when we went to Paris for our 25th anniversary. I took a bunch of photos. It was really quite an experience. There was enough lighting and people that it was not as creepy as I had thought it would be. It was all Rob's idea! Many hugs,

    1. LOL Katie T...that's right, blame it all on Rob. ;) As I told Queenie, I would visit the catacombs and the old Jewish cemetery. I am sure they are very careful with the Paris catacombs and have them well lit. I just read about another set of catacombs (can't remember where) that are supposedly larger than the ones in Paris and more confusing. The story goes that a group of graduates were celebrating and one girl wandered off...they found her two years later. Haven't verified this story yet...Will share if I find more info.

      Hugs and Blessings...
