Sile12: The world is filled with unique and fascinating places to visit but there are certain places that might not be everyone’s bucket list…Found some of the most crazy, scary and creepy tourist attractions in the world and just a word of warning: These are NOT for the faint hearted!

1. Capuchin Catacombs, Italy.

This macabre burial catacomb in Palermo, Sicily includes over 8000 well-dressed, well-preserved mummies dressed in their finest clothes.The corpses range in date from the late 1500s to 1920 and most were embalmed before their display.Giuseppe Tommasi, prince of Lampedusa and author of the famous Sicilian workThe Leopard, was buried in the cemetery next to the catacombs in 1957.
Visitors can wander through the catacombs' dank corridors among the mummified bodies. The halls are divided intocategoriesthat include: Men, Women, Virgins, Children, Priests, Monks, and Professors (including the famous painter Velasquez).The corpses are dressed insplendid clothes, now somewhat decayed, and occupy their own individual niches according to their social status. Many of the deceased wrote wills that specified the clothes in which to bury them, and some even asked to have their clothes changed over a period of time.Many corpses are still remarkably preserved and some give the impression of enjoying a joke with their deceased friends. Others are not in such good shape, with horriblycontorted, creepy faces and missing parts like jaws and hands.The last corpse to be buried here was that of 2-year-old Rosalia Lombaro, who died in 1920. She is so well-preserved, she has been nicknamed "Sleeping Beauty."
all those countries wae dae leave those things, na corpse dae worry them, and the people wae dae go watch all in the name of tourism na Morbid ppl.

7. Devil's pool.(Victoria Fall Zambia).
Victoria Falls is on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is 360 feet tall. At the top is a natural rock pool, called Devil's Pool, where the water is relatively calm. From September to December, when the water level is low, you can swim in Devil's Pool. The pictures are bound to make you just a little nervous. Or a lot.

8. Mountain Everest ( Nepal).

Mount Everest,also known in Nepal as Sagarmāthā and inTibet as Chomolungma, is the Earth's highest and most dangerous mountain. It is located in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas. Its peak is 8,848 metres (29,029 ft) above sea level and is the 5th furthest point from the center of the Earth.The international border between China and Nepal runs across the precise summit point. Its mass if includes neighboring peaks Lhotse, 8,516 m (27,940 ft);Nuptse, 7,855 m (25,771 ft) and Changtse, 7,580 m (24,870 ft).
Mount Everest attracts many highly experienced mountaineers as well as capable climbers willing to hire professional guides. There are two main climbing routes, one approaching the summit from the southeast in Nepal (known as the standard route) and the other from the north in Tibet. While not posing substantial technical climbing challenges on the standard route, Everest presents dangers such as altitude sickness, weather, wind as well as significant objective hazards from avalanches and the Khumbu Icefall. While the overwhelming majority of climbers use bottled oxygen in order to reach the top, some climbers have summitted Everest without supplemental oxygen.The first recorded efforts to reach Everest's summit were made by British mountaineers. With Nepal not allowing foreigners into the country at the time, the British made several attempts on the north ridge route from the Tibetan side. After the first reconnaissance expedition by the British in 1921 reached 7,000 m (22,970 ft) on the North Col, the 1922 expedition pushed the North ridge route up to 8,320 m (27,300 ft) marking the first time a human had climbed above 8,000 m (26,247 ft). Tragedy struck on the descent from the North col when seven porters were killed in an avalanche. The1924 expedition resulted in the greatest mystery on Everest to this day.George Mallory and Andrew Irvine made a final summit attempt on June 8 but never returned, sparking debate as to whether they were the first to reach the top. They had been spotted high on the mountain that day but disappeared in the clouds, never to be seen again until Mallory's body was found in 1999 at 8,155 m (26,755 ft) on the North face.Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary made the first official ascent of Everest in 1953 using the southeast ridge route. Tenzing had reached 8,595 m (28,199 ft) the previous year as a member of the1952 Swiss expedition...

Major causes of Death on Mountain Everest includes Altitude sickness/shortage of oxygen, ice falls, and storms that are capable of blowing climbers/tourists off the mountain.
Climbing Mount Everest is a 4days expedition (from Base camp-Camp iv)which climbers spends each night at each camp.
Excluding the weeks the must have spent at the base came to get the climbers/tourists used to the high altitude.Almost 300 attempts have been made,but very few have successful(The Summit) with many climbers/tourists still missing...
