We invite you to go with us to the islands, among which there are both beautiful and scary ones. There are legends about them; scenes from horror or beautiful films are filmed here. And the good news is that there are many such places, and they are all unique.

Many of us sincerely believe that horror elements can only be seen on the TV screen, well, at least, at Halloween celebrations. However, there are many places in the world that just look chilling. It is impossible to remain indifferent to them: you are either afraid of them, or visiting such an area becomes main goal life. If you are a thrill-seeker, sit back and go with us on a creepy journey called the scariest.

California - Winchester House

This huge house is located in San Jose, consists of 40 stairs, 160 rooms and a secret covered in darkness.

The inhabitants of the estate were strange, to put it mildly: a crazy widow lived here with a family of ghosts.

The history of this mansion began from the moment when owner Sarah Winchester lost her beloved rich husband, having inherited a multimillion-dollar fortune. After death, the spirit of her deceased husband appeared to her and told her a terrible secret about how he made money.

According to him, he built all his wealth on human bones, so their entire family is cursed, and ghosts will take revenge on them until death. Adding fuel to the fire, a fortune teller told Sarah that the spirits of every person killed with Winchesters purchased from her husband's weapons company would appear to her.

But in all this hell there was a thin straw of salvation - Sarah had to make peace and try to make friends with the ghosts. To do this, it was necessary to start building the house and not stop, because if the hammering ceases, Sarah will die. Thus began the construction of a house that was not to be completed throughout the widow’s life.

First of all, the poor woman bought an old mansion in California and hired workers. The house grew like mushrooms after rain. According to Miss Winchester's plan, secret passages, corridors, and balconies began to appear in it. Stairs usually led to nowhere to confuse the ghosts that haunted Sarah, whom she was deathly afraid of. The construction of the mansion did not stop for more than a day, but this madness lasted for 38 long years!

Today this abandoned place is open to tourists, but you can enter here on the condition that you do not leave the group, otherwise you will simply get lost in the creepy labyrinths. They say ghosts are still waiting for their victims.

Poisonous Danakil Desert

Ethiopian Danakil Desert. If you go there, it will be the scariest trip of your life! There is no such landscape anywhere else, probably not even in real hell.

Once you find yourself here, you are unlikely to want to fly to Mars, since it feels like being in space. You simply feel a catastrophic lack of oxygen, it becomes difficult to breathe, but there is an abundance of stinking, burning gases that are born under your feet in the volcanic surface with floating stones.

Traveling here, tourists in literally words shorten their life. Heat + 50 degrees, the danger of stepping on an awakening volcano and being cooked in its red lava, inhaling sulfur vapor for the rest of your life and making it short - all these risks are present here. Moreover, in the struggle for water and food, semi-wild tribes of the Afar region often lie in wait for tourists here, who, as a rule, are armed and hungry. They can be an unpleasant addition to the unearthly beauty of the Danakil Desert.

Suicide Forest

The Danakil Desert is an eerie abandoned place, and there is nothing like it in the world. It is located at the foot of Mount Fuji, which is considered sacred.

This gloomy place differs from the forest we are used to in that they do not come here to pick mushrooms and berries, they do not barbecue here or relax with their family, but they come to say goodbye to life. For these purposes, it was chosen by authentic Japanese suicides.

They began to go into the forest forever in the early 1950s. Less than half a century had passed, and the number of people who died in the forest reached 500 people who voluntarily said goodbye to life. Rumor has it that the fashion for dying in the forest came to the masses after the publication of the book “The Black Sea of ​​Trees” by the author Seiko Matsumoto, in the plot of which two volunteers went to this forest in order to hang themselves. They walked holding hands...

The forest is so shady and gloomy that even on a sunny day it’s easy to find a scary corner here, shrouded in grave gloom, to make your dirty business. In addition to skulls, corpses and bones, here you can find shields like “Think about your loved ones!” or “Think in last time!»

The problem of suicide in the forest became national in 1970. Since then, the government sends units there every year to clear the forest of “fresh” dead.

The area of ​​the Aokigahara forest is 35 square meters. m. For about a year, 50-100 corpses “mature” on the trees, depending on how “fruitful” the year was.

The bridge is a four-legged killer

The Killer Arch Bridge is located near the Scottish village of Milton; more precisely, it is located near the Overtoun mansion, which has become a haven for ghosts.

Mystical events take place on this bridge, and they were often associated with a gloomy house, however, as it turned out later, it was not the mansion, but the bridge itself. Strange events began to occur on it in the mid-twentieth century. Dozens of dogs threw themselves from a height of fifteen meters and fell to their deaths; the survivors still repeated their attempt to jump from the bridge.

Even veterinarians and zoologists could not figure out what drove them to such actions, but the most interesting thing was that they all jumped from the same parapet.

During this time, many hypotheses were put forward. They said that perhaps the dogs were driven by the hunting instinct, and they rushed at the rats and minks living below. Others suspect that the bridge is located on the border of two worlds: the living and the dead, and the dogs smell the “smell” of the paranormal, follow the trail, and pay for their curiosity with death. Perhaps you know the secret of the Overtown Bridge?

Beautiful abandoned places

Except creepy places, exciting our consciousness, there are also beautiful abandoned places in the world that are difficult to look away from. Despite their beauty, they evoke a feeling of pity, since they are abandoned and seem to be of no use to anyone. But in reality this is not so - hundreds of tourists come to look at them.

Italy, San Fruttuoso: Christ from the Abyss

This is one of the most beautiful abandoned places under water. The bronze statue of Christ is so realistic that hundreds of people come to San Fruttuoso to look at it at least once in their lives.

But we’ll immediately warn you that only those who love diving can see it, since the statue is located underwater in an Italian bay. Duilio Marcante erected a bronze sculpture in honor of his friend who died at sea - Italy's first scuba diver Dario Gonzatti. And it was created by the talented sculptor Guido Galetti. The height of the masterpiece is 2.5 m, it is installed at a depth of 17 m, so seeing it is not as easy as it seems. But those who were lucky enough to look at the grandiose statue will not be able to forget its noble, blessing image.

Japan, Gulliver's Adventure park

Gulliver's Adventure is another place that can be classified as one of the most beautiful abandoned places in the world. The theme park is located in Japan, in Kawaguchi, and was created according to the idea of ​​the local government to revitalize the leisure time of local residents.

But for some reason the project was not profitable and lasted only 4 years, after which it “successfully” went bankrupt. It has not been operating since 2001, but its main attraction, the 45 m long Gulliver sculpture, attracts tourists not only from Japan, but also from other countries of the world.

There are guesses that the park was closed due to the fact that there was little entertainment here: besides the sculpture, there was only a steam locomotive and several ordinary carousels, but no one knows what it really was like.

Abandoned and beautiful

It is worth noting that there are many beautiful abandoned places in the world where, however, many of these “pearls of the world” are open to visitors. The list of the most mysterious abandoned places includes the following:

• The city of Kolmanskop (Namibia desert);
• Dome houses in Florida, which have long been abandoned by people;
• 15th century monastery in Germany (in the Black Fortress);
• Bodiam Castle (England);
• Dead City of Keelung (Taiwan);
• Tunnel of Love (Ukraine).

The combination of mystery and danger arouses interest and attracts attention against our will, and the sight of nature, which calmly captures what people have created, returns us to the understanding of our own insignificance in the face of time.

San Ji Ghost Town, Taiwan

A luxurious resort on the sea coast was built specifically for the local rich. But already during construction something strange began to happen. Dozens of workers died: they broke their necks falling from heights (even with safety ropes), and died under collapsed cranes. The surrounding residents were sure that the town was inhabited evil spirits. There were harrowing stories about a Japanese “death camp” that had once been located here. At the end of the 1980s, construction stalled. The apartments never found buyers, and the authorities do not demolish the city because people believe that this will release evil spirits.

Abandoned military hospital in Beelitz, Germany

The city of the same name is located 40 kilometers from the capital of Germany. During the First and Second World Wars, the hospital was used by the military, and in 1916 Adolf Hitler was treated there. In 1995, people left the city, and since then it has been gradually destroyed.

Eighth workshop of the Dagdizel plant, Makhachkala

Naval weapons testing station, commissioned in 1939. It is located 2.7 km from the coast and has not been used for a long time. Construction took a long time and was complicated by difficult conditions. Unfortunately, the workshop did not serve the plant for long. The requirements for the work carried out in the workshop changed, and in April 1966 this grandiose structure was written off from the factory balance sheet. Now this “Array” is abandoned and stands in the Caspian Sea, resembling an ancient monster from the shore.

Psychiatric Clinic Lier Sikehus, Norway

The Norwegian psychiatric hospital, which is located in the small town of Lier, half an hour from Oslo, has a dark past. Experiments on patients were once carried out here, and for unknown reasons, four hospital buildings were abandoned in 1985. Equipment, beds, even magazines and personal belongings of patients remained in the abandoned buildings. At the same time, the remaining eight buildings of the hospital are still operating to this day.

Gunkanjima Island, Japan

In fact, the island is called Hashima, nicknamed Gunkanjima, which means “cruiser island.” The island was settled in 1810 when coal was discovered there. Within fifty years, it has become the most populated island in the world in terms of the ratio of land and the number of inhabitants on it: 5,300 people with a radius of the island itself of one kilometer. By 1974, the reserves of coal and other minerals on Gankajima were completely exhausted, and people left the island. Today, visiting the island is prohibited. There are many legends about this place among the people.

Kowloon Walled City, Hong Kong, China

The city was located in Hong Kong, but did not obey the authorities, being under the control of the mafia. Not only did prostitution and drug trafficking flourish inside, but there was also self-government. In addition, the area had its own industry: semi-handicraft production of noodles and all sorts of small things. The products of enterprises were inexpensive: there were no taxes, and labor legislation local entrepreneurs did not comply. We had our own nursing home, kindergarten and school. In the early 1990s, the population density reached two million people per square kilometer.

After a difficult process of eviction of the people living there, a park of the same name was opened in this place in 1995. Some of the city's historical artifacts, including the yamen building, and the remains of the South Gate have been preserved.

Abandoned Hotel Salto in Colombia

In 1924, the luxurious Refugio El Salto hotel was built in the city of San Antonio del Tequendama. After some time, the hotel was closed due to the increasing number of suicides among visitors. There are ominous legends and rumors surrounding this place.

Church of San Juan Parangaricutiro, Mexico

The church, located in the village of the same name, was buried under the lava of the Paricutin volcano in 1944, the village was completely destroyed. Miraculously, the altar and the church bell tower remained intact, surrounded by the ruins of the temple complex, the protruding cones of solidified lava reminiscent of foreign paintings.

Underwater city of Shichen in China

Ghost town of Kolmanskop, Namibia

The ghost town of Kolmanskop, built in a place where small diamonds were discovered in the sand, which the wind brought from the ocean. Large beautiful houses, a school, a hospital, and a stadium were built in the city, and the settlement quickly turned into a model German city. Everyone was counting on long-term prosperity, but alas, the “reserve of diamonds” quickly dried up. In addition, the city was difficult to live in due to problems with water and sandstorms, and people left it. Most of the houses are almost entirely covered with sand and make a depressing impression.

Abandoned buildings and islands, ghost towns and ruins of haunted castles - all these places have an interesting and sometimes sad story, telling how nature and the elements transform everything that man created but could not preserve.

1. “Christ of the Abyss” in San Fruttuoso Bay, Italy (Christ of the Abyss at San Fruttuoso, Italy)

Christ of the Abyss is the name of a bronze statue of Jesus Christ installed on seabed Mediterranean Sea, in the Bay of San Fruttuoso, between the communes of Camogli and Portofino in the Italian Riviera. The monument was installed in the water on August 22, 1954 at a depth of approximately 17 meters, the height of the statue itself is 2.5 meters in height. Similar statues, both copies of this one and its variations, are installed in other parts of the world: under water, in museums and churches, also bearing the name “Christ from the Abyss”.

Sculptor Guido Galletti, creating the statue, brought to life the idea of ​​the Italian diver Duilio Marcante. In addition to its religious aspects, "Christ from the Abyss" is intended to perpetuate the memory of the pioneering Italian scuba diver Dario Gonzatti, who died at this place in 1947. The sculpture represents Christ, whose gaze and hands are directed upward to the surface of the sea and the sky above it.
The Christ of the Abyss statue is very popular among divers. Over the 49 years of its existence, the statue had become thoroughly overgrown with algae, and as a result of an unsuccessfully thrown anchor, it lost one of its arms. In 2003, it was decided to remove the sculpture from the water, clean it and restore it. A new pedestal was installed at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, and on July 17, 2004, “Christ from the Abyss” was successfully installed in its original place.

Abandoned places on the planet with photos and descriptions

For people to voluntarily leave their homes and leave their established lives, something out of the ordinary must happen. In some cases, the reasons are obvious, while in others the details of abandonment are shrouded in mysterious and even mystical legends. Ready to get to know them better?

The history of this small but steadily growing and developing city ended in an instant. Disaster on Chernobyl nuclear power plant April 26, 1986 once and for all turned its picturesque streets into the most terrible abandoned places in the world. During the evacuation, local residents were told to take only the most valuable things and, of course, documents. They all planned to return back soon, but fate decreed otherwise.

Today, three decades after the terrible accident, only the wind blows through the abandoned houses, black lifeless windows terrify the brave souls who dare to go on an excursion here. It is still dangerous to stay in the city for a long time, but short forays into the exclusion zone are of great interest to tourists.

There really is an underwater city, and it is Shicheng, which means Lion City. A hundred years ago it was crowded and beautiful, but today only fish, shellfish and other underwater inhabitants can live in it. In 1953, due to an accident at a hydroelectric power station, Shicheng was completely flooded and went under water 30-40 meters, residents were evacuated to nearby cities. Only a few tiny islands in the middle of an artificial lake preserve the memory of the buildings that once stood here.

In the second half of the 20th century, the Taiwanese authorities decided to build a new resort city in a picturesque location among tropical vegetation. The highlight of the resort was to be houses in the shape of original flying saucers. Enormous funds were allocated to implement the project, but the town of San Zhi died without being born. Construction was constantly hampered by something: mysterious accidents on sites, mysterious deaths and disappearances, a riot of elements. When the city was eventually completed, there were no active people willing to buy real estate here. So these beautiful abandoned places of the world stood empty and deserted among the incredible beauty of Taiwanese nature on the very shore of the ocean. Recently it was decided to completely demolish the city, which was never lucky enough to become a popular resort.

When describing the most beautiful abandoned places in the world, one cannot fail to mention Varosha, which became a victim of the irreconcilable confrontation between Turkey and Greece. In the 70s last century, the resort town was actively built up with tourist infrastructure, but everything stopped at one moment when they came to Varosha Turkish troops. Residents left their homes in panic, hoping to return as soon as the conflict subsided. And for more than forty years now, empty houses, looking with gloomy eye sockets into the distance of the sea, have been awaiting the return of their owners. Varosha was plundered in the first years after it was deserted. And now the houses themselves are beginning to disappear from the face of the earth, deforming under the influence of sea winds and the scorching sun.

The fate of this small Pennsylvania mining town was marred by good intentions. In the depths of the land of Centralia there were coal deposits, because of which the city was built in this area. One day, while cleaning the area, local authorities decided to burn the garbage dumps. The landfills burned down, and along with them, underground coal caught fire, starting a serious fire in the bowels of the earth. It was not immediately possible to notice this. But when people with carbon monoxide poisoning rushed en masse to hospitals, tremors began to shake the streets and the earth’s crust opened up in some places, the authorities decided to abandon the city. Today, in photos of abandoned places in the world from Centralia, you can see several creepy houses, wild thickets, a cemetery and complete desolation. And coal still continues to burn underground.

This is interesting: it was Centralia that became the prototype of the notorious computer game, and then a series of films about Silent Hill - a ghost town shrouded in a thick layer of fog. True, there is no fog as such in Centralia, there are only light lazy wisps of smoke floating out from under the cracked asphalt.

The Italian Craco, built on rocks with high level seismic activity. The history of the city goes back 1000 years, but even this did not save it from the crushing force of nature. In 1963, local residents left their comfortable homes due to a real threat to their lives, and never returned. Empty streets, houses, roads are chosen wild animals living in these mountain ranges. No one else was seen here.

Did you know? Hollywood became a real salvation for Kracko. It was in this abandoned city that such cult films as “The Passion of the Christ” and “Quantum of Solace” were filmed. Since the film sets had to look natural, but still neat and safe, part of Kracko was restored.

But the inhabitants left this Japanese island in the East China Sea completely voluntarily. Once upon a time, its surroundings were rich in coal deposits, and mining families lived here. At the time, the city's population density was one of the densest in the world. But over time, the coal dried up, and the workers had nothing to do on this small piece of land. This is how Hashima Island ended up in the most abandoned places in the world. It can be visited for tourism purposes, but it is no longer possible to live here - time and the elements do not spare even monumental strong buildings.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Germans found diamond deposits in the Namib Desert and founded the city of Kolmanskop, built with their characteristic accuracy and reliability. Even in difficult desert conditions, the city managed to prosper as long as there was work. When the diamond reserves dried up, the inhabitants left the deserted monastery. Now Kolmanskop is one of the 10 most abandoned places in the world, since the only inhabitants of its houses are hot desert sands and rare animals.

In the TOP of the most abandoned places in the world, one cannot do without the American island of Holland, named after the first inhabitant to set foot on local lands. Cut off from big world, people were busy here agriculture, fishing, lived quietly and measuredly, without the bustle of big cities. However, people here too were unable to argue with nature. The island suffered from flooding, storms and erosion. By 1922, not a single resident remained here. All 360 islanders moved to the mainland, leaving 70 strong, reliable houses to be torn apart by the elements. The last of them surrendered in 2010, and now only photographs remind us that once upon a time there was an entire town on the Dutch island.

It's hard to imagine that an abandoned concrete structure in the impenetrable bushes of Sarajevo once served as a competition arena for the world's best lugers. It was built in 1984 for the Winter Olympic Games, and successfully fulfilled its role. But a few years later, the then Yugoslavia was impressed by other competitions - military ones, and bobsleigh was forgotten for many years. Thus, the abandoned places of our planet were replenished with another grandiose, but unnecessary structure.

Still excited to go on the spookiest and most exciting journey of your life? Then go ahead to the abandoned places of the planet, photos with names and descriptions of which can be found in the guidebook. Have courage, patience and be prepared for the most unexpected situations. Who knows what awaits you around that corner!

All these places were once filled with people living their lives. Abandoned for various reasons, they now look like ghost towns or horror movie sets. The mysterious mood of these places makes you feel fear, curiosity and delight at the same time. Only the bravest can dare to visit such a place!

Ghost Town of Bodie, California, USA

The now abandoned city was founded in 1876, when miners discovered rich reserves of gold and silver here. In search of wealth and better life people were traveling to a small town.

Prison in Pennsylvania, USA

Ghost Tower in Sathorn, Thailand

In the early nineties, Thailand experienced the largest economic boom in history. At this time, authorities and businessmen demonstrated stability; financial success led to the emergence of many ambitious construction projects, including a skyscraper in Sathorn.

On this moment further fate building remains unknown: reconstructing it will cost more than building a new one. In addition, the tower has a reputation as a place inhabited by ghosts.

North Brother Island, USA

Miranda Castle, Belgium

During the French Revolution, Count Liedekerke-Beaufort, a Belgian political activist, was forced to leave the castle with his family. They moved to a farm nearby.
After World War II and until the end of the eighties, the castle belonged to the state railway company and was used first as a shelter, and then as Kid `s camp. In 1991, due to high cost maintenance, the castle was abandoned.

Kijong-Dong, North Korea

It seems that this Korean village was purposely built to remain empty and uninhabited. It is located near the border with South Korea. After the conflict in 1953, the government North Korea decided to use the village as a propaganda tool: it is the only one visible from the southern territory, which means everything should look perfect.
The authorities say that ordinary residents live in the village, but there is not even glass in the windows. In the evenings, the lights come on in all rooms at the same time. This is a fake village!

Fordlandia, Brazil

This place was founded by American entrepreneur Henry Ford in 1927 when he began his urban project. There was to be a rubber tree plantation that would extend into the Amazon rainforest. Ford came up with the idea of ​​a corporate city with all the amenities, swimming pools, golf courses, bungalows and even a place to dance.
However, local residents did not accept the idea and refused to accept the ban on alcohol. Brazilian workers and American industrialists found themselves in conflict situation. In 1930, a riot broke out in one of the cafeterias. The cars were thrown into the river and the managers were driven away. After this, the city was abandoned forever.

Abandoned cinema, Sinai desert

Locals say the cinema was built by a wealthy Frenchman who was walking in the desert with friends and thought the only thing he was missing was a movie. He bought a generator, a hundred chairs and a huge screen in Cairo. Everything was ready for display, but local residents did not like the idea at all. They broke the generator and it was all over before it could have started. As a result, in the heart of the desert there is still a white screen on which not a single film has been shown.

Varosha, Cyprus

In the early seventies of the last century, Varosha was a popular tourist area with luxurious beaches where celebrities and millionaires vacationed. At that time, Cyprus was loved by Brigitte Bardot and Elizabeth Taylor.
Everything changed in August 1974, when Turkey captured and occupied the northern part of the island. Fifteen thousand residents of the area fled from the invaders, leaving their homes. Many planned to return, but the political situation did not allow them to do so.

Abandoned hotel, Colombia

The once luxurious Hotel Del Salto, located near the waterfall, was built in 1924. Over time, the Bogota River became more and more polluted, and as a result, tourists gradually lost interest in the region.
In addition, many suicides choose this picturesque place, so the hotel is now considered haunted.

Discovery Island, USA

This island was an amusement park.
One day, a dangerous bacterium was found in the waters of the lake, and in July 1999 the park was closed. It has remained abandoned since then.

Holy Land Experience Park, USA

Orpheum Theater, USA

This is an abandoned theater in Massachusetts. It was opened in 1912, and in 1959 it was already closed. Nowadays a supermarket is located in the office premises, but most of it is simply empty. Charity organisations want to invest in New Bedford and bring a cultural landmark back to life.

American ship on the beach, Canary Islands

In the first days after the crash, the ship was still intact, so people even tried to climb aboard. Then the ship broke into two halves, and now it is not recommended to climb on it. It seems that the ship is very close, but it is surrounded by incredibly strong currents, in addition, sharp debris is hidden under the water. At least eight people died while trying to explore the area around the crash.
