Nicosia International Airport, Cyprus.




Prior to the Turkish invasion on Cyprus in 1974, this was actually the most important airport in the whole country.

Today it is a no-man’s land, a United Nations buffer zone from which both Greeks and Turks are barred.

Can we observe that despite the area being cordoned off, the place still has electricity. Here wey be all man land, light no dey. Also, Chernobyl, despite it being shut down still produced electricity from its reactors up till 2000. Yet over here, on top $16bn and counting all the "zations", we still dey do turn by turn for light. And we think we will make heaven?

Abandoned mall in Bangkok, Thailand filled with Tilapia.



A mall in Thailand that used to be awash with shoppers is now teeming with fish after the abandoned building was flooded.

The New World Mall, in Bangkok, was closed in 1997 after it was found to have breached building regulations, before a fire in 1999 left it without a roof.

Rainwater slowly filled the building with water, causing a major mosquito problem in the community.

In an effort to rid themselves of the pests, the locals introduced freshwater talapia fish to eat the insects.

The fishes can be seen in hundreds.

Lack of maintenance and poor management is the cause of all these problems.

Unoccupied Irish Homes, Ireland.


At first glance, this looks like a nice and quiet neighborhood that any family would love to live in.

When you look a bit closer, you’ll see that these houses are not occupied, nor have they ever been.

Ireland has lots of neighborhoods that were built up, but after the housing collapse in 2008, these homes were never sold.

Although no one has ever lived here, it is creepy to walk these empty streets.

Church of the Ghosts, Lukova, Czech Republic.




Located in the northwestern Bohemia town of Luková, the ‘Church of Nine Ghosts’ first fell into disrepair after the ceiling caved in during a funeral service in 1968.

Locals took that as a bad omen, and boarded up the 14th century structure, holding services outside instead.

But many residents saw the church as an important part of the town’s history, and wanted to see it restore.

A local artist placed eerie phantoms in the church to bring attention to the spirit of the church, creating a haunting experience for those who go to visit.
Makes me remember this movie... 'HOUSE OF WAX' the most horrible movie I ever watched.. Geeeezzzz

It's super hard, as in its not easy to maintain an airline bro, believe me. It's even easier to buy jet for yourself and friends to lift you whenever you need, bearing all cost than running a commercial airline. Imagine what can make a man, alive, to overlook and abandon such assets he acquired with his hard earned money. Not minding anything.

Pripyat, Ukraine.



The city of Pripyat was established in Ukraine, close to the border of Belarus on Feb. 4th 1970 as a Soviet nuclear city.

It was a residential to the workers who worked in the nearby Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

But in 1986, the nuclear power plant faced a disaster, more popularly known as the Chernobyl Disaster of 1986, which led to the evacuation of the entire city.

Priypat, thus, remains a radioactive ghost city haunted by the nightmares of that dreadful night.

Hashima Island, Japan



This place was once an island that was filled with coal, home to 5,000 workers.

Once all the coal had been extracted, there was no more use for the island.

Today the island lays barren, nothing more than an eerie place filled with a glimpse of what was once there and shadows.
Niger Delta almost comes to mind.
