Are you a globetrotter? Do you like when your blood runs cold and the hair on the back of your neck stands up? If so, then you may be one of those tourists who get a certain kick out of exploring allegedly haunted places, like spooky castles in Europe or abandoned asylums in the US.
But that’s not all. You may have visited some locations linked to tragedies (like Chornobyl, to make an example) and enjoyed learning more about the related events. Don’t let that guilt settle in your stomach, though — humans naturally crave knowledge. It gives us a deeper understanding of the world and the history we (luckily) didn’t witness, even if these stories can be too much to digest for some.
When it comes to traveling, we’re drawn to the uncommon and unusual things that give our destinations character and purpose — although they may be a little more than we bargained for. But this type of tourism isn’t always associated with tragedy or disaster. Sometimes it can just be a creepy place that gets your adrenaline going. And trust us, there are plenty of those out there!
Whether you’re into urban legends and haunted houses, spooky museums, ghost-filled graveyards, or more sensitive locations that are cemented in our minds for their tragic past — rest assured, you’ll find what you seek right here.

Gates Of Hell, Turkmenistan
A crater deep in a natural gas field is just the kind of place we’d expect to find Satan himself hanging out. It was set alight in 1971 to prevent the emissions of poisonous gases. The gases were estimated to burn out in a few weeks, but the crater is still on fire after 50 years.

My then 12-yr old daughter and I did the 'Plank Road in the Sky' at Hua Shan Mountain a few years ago when in China. It was packed with (mostly Chinese) tourists in early June, took a while to even get to the start... very steep descent to get there (see pic). The planks were sturdy, and the safety harnesses clipped to the chain worked well. The tricky part was going around someone. Looked like a very long drop! 41A677DB-1...b-jpeg.jpg

Yes. I've done it. It's absolutely terrifying. You have to buy your own safety rope. Then there are three sections- the upper section has guard rails, the middle section is the one pictured, and the lower section, which is frankly beyond crazy- there are no planks at all in places and you have to inch along some footholds cut out the rock. And to cap it all off the path doesn't go anywhere, so you have to come back the same way you went out. The other paths up Huashan are much more friendly, but nearly as steep as ladders in places. Thing is THOUSANDS of people use these paths each day. Nobody seems particularly bothered by them- you'll see tourists scaling the steps in ordinary street clothes and trainers. I actually felt a bit over-dressed in hiking gear!

The Catacombs Of Paris, France
If you’re looking for a place that will make your blood freeze, the Catacombs of Paris might be just the spot. The catacombs are a vast underground ossuary that holds the remains of 6 million people, created to fix the problem of Paris’ overflowing cemeteries. As you walk through the catacombs, you’ll see a sign that reads “Arrête! C’est ici l’empire de la Mort” (“Stop! This is the empire of Death”).

Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, West Virginia, USA
Originally designed to hold 250 people, this asylum ended up housing over 2,400 patients. Back in those days, patients could be admitted for even the most trivial reasons. These included asthma, laziness, and even greediness, which led to an overwhelming number of accepted patients and a shortage of staff members and beds. Now, tours in the facility give visitors a chance to see how people lived — or better, tried to survive — in this creepy building.

Eastern State Penitentiary, Pennsylvania, USA
When notorious criminals such as Al Capone and Willie Sutton were held there, you know you have a historic landmark in front of you. Operational until 1971, it was famous for its solitary confinement system: inmates lived alone, ate alone, and were even hooded whenever they had to leave their cell. As with most abandoned places, it has been transformed into a haunted house, and its authentic environment makes for an instantly immersive experience.

I miss the storming of the penitentiary we used to do on Bastille Day. Merrymakers from around the city would gather at Eastern State and there would be music and drinking along with a drag cabaret re-enactment of the French Revolution. Then Marie Antoinette would yell "Let them eat Tastykake" and we would get showered with the official junk food of Philadelphia. I would wear my best Parisian peasant rags, and get very drunk shouting "Vive la révolution et vive les français!" and my friends and I would sing "La Marseillaise" or at least as much as we could remember in our condition. Good times had by all. July 14th just hasn't been the same since. We still have the Mummers, although you have to be up early and often in freezing weather for that one.

Winchester Mystery House, California, USA
Often cited as one of the most haunted places in the world, Winchester Mystery House actually had a pretty normal past. Owned by Sarah Winchester, widow of magnate William Wirt Winchester, the house became a tourist spot following the woman’s death. We cannot confirm whether it’s a real haunted house, but the countless rumors and myths, added to the Victorian and Gothic architecture style, make the mansion a must-see for any horror fan.
Jan Dunn 3 years ago
Sarah was obsessed with the occult. Most of the things are multiples of 13s she was told if she ever stopped building that she would die. And that she was being haunted by the spirits of all the American Indians that the Winchester rifle murdered. She was also very short and all the steps feel really weird when you're walking on them because they were designed for her stature. I don't find it creepy at all it's a beautiful place and really cool to visit.

All the stuff about her being obsessed with the occult is urban legend created to make it seem more interesting to tourists.

The Stanley Hotel, Colorado, USA
Despite its peaceful history, the Stanley Hotel has gained a reputation for paranormal activity, especially following the publication of Stephen King’s The Shining, which contributed significantly to its fame. The place — for its remote location, grand size, and desolation — inspired the Overlook Hotel in King’s bestselling novel and the movie adaptation. It was also the filming location of the related miniseries directed by Mick Garris.

Gettysburg Battlefield, Pennsylvania, USA
Gettysburg is the site of the Civil War’s bloodiest battle, with more than 50,000 estimated casualties, and a turning point for the conflict. Visitors are left with a sense of dread as they walk through its grounds and learn more about its history.
Shyla Bouche 3 years ago
The civil war was dreadful, period. The aftermath was, in many ways, worse.
RafCo (he/him) 3 years ago
Was Gettysburg a turning point for the war? Perhaps politically it was, and it did prevent Lee's army from continuing its march into Union territory. But militarily? IDK. The bloodiest period of the war was after Gettysburg, not before it. I would argue that the fall of Vicksburg and the fall of Atlanta the following summer, were bigger turning points militarily. Vicksburg gave the Union full control of the Mississippi River, and split the Confederacy in half. The Union suffered similar casualties, but had larger population bases to recruit from. It was definitely an important battle though, and the first clear victory over Lee's army. It was though the bloodiest battle the United States ever fought as well, with nearly as many casualties over the 3 days of fighting than in the whole Vietnam conflict (not including the Vietnamese who died). I'm no civil war buff though, so others may have a stronger opinion than me.

It was literally the turning point, the point at which the South went from offense to defense because they had been defeated.

"Possessed" doesn't mean "haunted." Haunted means there is a ghost present. Possessed means that the devil can act directly through them without needing to involve subverting the will.

Legend has it that when construction began in the castle, all of the prisoners that were sentenced to death were offered a pardon if they consented to be lowered by rope into the hole, and report back on what they saw. When the first person was lowered, he began screaming after a few seconds, and when pulled back to the surface, he looked as if he had aged 30 years.
