10 Scary places on Earth by imsuboi(m): 8:58pm On Nov 22, 2013
saw this somewhere & decided to repost it here.

Enjoy


#1 Kabayan
[img]i1.likes-media.com/uimg/fa2641e595bf7ef710ab715a98466a74.600x[/img]

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.

#2 The Island of the Dolls
[img]i2.likes-media.com/uimg/5120964532ca11ef652d24a5bbc18b71.600x[/img]

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.

#3 The Door to Hell
[img]i3.likes-media.com/uimg/939bf0830313bc203872512eac3d47db.600x[/img]

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.

#4 Hellingly Hospital

[img]i3.likes-media.com/uimg/417beef6afe7c3ee51dae16a77480b82.600x[/img]

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.

#5 Akodessewa

[img]i2.likes-media.com/uimg/4cbb8f87f5048bb736f4bb66a010b189.600x[/img]

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.

#6 The Matsuo Ghost Mine

[img]i1.likes-media.com/uimg/c3e73fca9ab2e60aeaa49d29ac49835d.600x[/img]

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.

#7 Centralia, Pennsylvania
[img]i4.likes-media.com/uimg/e814c89238be8016ca308e7f056b4853.600x[/img]

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.

#8 Prague’s Old Jewish Cemetery
[img]i1.likes-media.com/uimg/03c4e16081cc3d13d845a2054984514d.600x [/img]
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.

#9 The Catacombs
[img]4.likes-media.com/uimg/56b81dd8ca78dcbf91bb99cd14b48acc.600x[/img]
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.

#10 Aokigahara Forest
[img]i3.likes-media.com/uimg/3471ade26752f815c75cf5dcf47af156.600x[/img]
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.
