There are many places on our Earth, visiting which the blood runs cold in my veins. Associated with them are mysterious and terrifying events. It happens that watching movies about these places or reading a book about events that happened is worse than watching a modern horror movie. In this article we will look at the 10 most scary places in the world.
1. Paris catacombs
The underground complex is a series of tunnels with a length of 300 kilometers. In the XVI-XVII centuries, the construction of cathedrals took place, for their erection, a lot of limestone was required, and tunnels were dug. Due to the threat of collapse, the authorities decided to close the quarries.
At the end of the XVII century, an epidemic hit Paris, it was forbidden to bury the dead in the city, so they began to be buried in tunnels. Over 6 million people were buried here. Among them are the remains of the revolutionary Maximilian Robespierre, mathematician Pascal, as well as the writer Charles Pierrot.
2. Winchester Mansion
William Wirth Winchester, the owner of an arms company, the son of the founder of the famous rifles, married the girl Sarah, and soon they had a daughter.
A series of tragedies began with the death of his daughter in 1866, to this day, the reason for the death of the child is unknown. It soon became known that Sarah would never be able to have children again. Further, in 1881, William himself died in the prime of life, leaving his wife Sarah a fortune. The inheritance did not console the grief of the young woman, she gradually abandoned her friends, and lost the joy of life. She was tormented by the question of why such a share fell to her, later she turned to the clairvoyant, and found out that the Winchester family was under a curse due to the huge number of deaths through the Winchester rifle.
To atone, you need to continue the construction of the mansion, then the ghosts of the victims will be lost in the huge corridors and rooms of the castle. The widow did so; construction went on for 38 years.
The mansion had several hundred rooms, after the reconstruction 160 rooms, 6 kitchens, more than a dozen bathrooms, fifty staircases, etc. remained.

The bodies are perfectly preserved thanks to the Peruvian dry desert climate.
The most notorious feature of the religion of Carthage was the sacrifice of children, mainly infants.

In this article, we will tell you about the most terrible places on the planet that have earned this title not so much in appearance as in a terrible backstory.
We will devote a separate article to places that look frightening, but nothing more.
The most terrible places on Earth
Chernobyl Ukraine
The accident occurred on April 26, 1986, recognized as the largest man-made disaster in history, turned the 50,000th atomic city of Pripyat into a ghost town. 36 hours after the accident, authorities evacuated people to Kiev and Chernihiv, some were taken to Russia and Moldova.The authorities hid to the last the true reason for the evacuation, so people were sure that they would leave their homes for a couple of days. Until now, in the abandoned apartments there are unfinished newspapers, toys are scattered in the children's rooms, and textbooks are on the school desks.
On Labor Day, May 1, 1986, an amusement park was to open in Pripyat. But local children were not destined to ride on the carousel. The slowly rusting ferris wheel became the most recognizable symbol of the abandoned Pripyat. Meanwhile, this is one of the most infected places in the city.
Although officially the population of Pripyat is equal to zero, in the 90s in the Exclusion Zone there were about 900 “settlers” of advanced age who, due to circumstances, could not or did not want to leave the city.
The forest around the Chernobyl NPP is today called the "Red Forest" due to its yellowish tint. Even the shoots that grew after the accident became yellow due to radiation dust settled on the soil and absorbed into the roots.
In recent years, the level of radiation in the city has significantly decreased - time and a new sarcophagus above the scene of the accident affected. The radioactive background in Pripyat is cleaner than in megacities, but there are still places with “radioactive bookmarks” where the dosimeter starts to squeak dangerously.
Poveleha is an island of ghosts. Italy
Legend has it that during the plague epidemic in southern Italy of the 14th century, the infected and their families were exiled to the island of Powell (Poweglia), located near Venice. As a result, the island became a large mass grave for victims of forced quarantine. On the island there are several "plague pits" in which, according to various estimates, from 100 to 150 thousand people are buried. 
In 1892, a clinic for the mentally ill started working on the island. The first doctor of the hospital could be ideally described as “crazy”: he was obsessed with scientific ambitions and experimented with impunity on his patients — he cut the frontal lobes of the brain with a hammer and a chisel through the orbit, beat patients with electric shocks, and kept them for hours in ice water.
Their torment ended when the doctor dropped off the lighthouse for unknown reasons. Under the new leadership, the hospital lasted until 1968, but nothing more was going on within its walls. It was this place that inspired Dennis Lichein for the novel "Island of the Damned", which subsequently formed the basis of the script of the film of the same name with Leonardo di Caprio.
Aokigahara. Suicide Forest in Japan
At the foot of the beautiful Mount Fuji lies the Aokigahara Forest. The name in translation into Russian sounds very poetic - "Plain of green trees." But the notoriety of this place went far beyond Japan. 
The forest looks pretty creepy, but mysticism has nothing to do with it: when in the year 864 A.D. a major eruption of the volcano of Fuji, these lands covered with a thick layer of lava. Punching the way up through the thickness of the frozen magma, the roots of the trees bent at bizarre angles. In addition, in a forest covering an area of \u200b\u200b35 square meters. km You can get lost in two counts, because the compass does not work in these places because of iron ore deposits.
It was these two circumstances that made the forest one of the most frightening places in Japan of the past. In ancient times, the Japanese took the elderly and hopelessly sick family members to the Aokigahara Forest and left them to die. And to this day there are legends about ghosts who take revenge on random travelers for a terrible death in hunger and cold.
Aokigahara retains this title today, and deservedly so. Since the middle of the 20th century, suicides are regularly committed in it more often. In popularity among suicides, this place is second only to the Golden Bridge in Los Angeles. Every year, a detachment of volunteers goes into the forest in search of suicide bodies. During such search operations, an average of 30 to 80 people commit suicide. This means that on average every week someone goes into the depths of the forest so that they will never return alive again.
Walking through the woods, here and there you can notice signs asking them to take care of their loved ones in order to protect potential suicides from rash acts. The telephone numbers of psychological support services are also indicated there.
Manchak Marshes in Louisiana
The swamps of Manchak, the kingdom of ghosts and crocodiles, are insanely beautiful, unless, of course, you are captivated by the aesthetics of decadence. 
Even at the beginning of the 20th century, the area was not so swampy, but everything changed after the inhabitants of Manchak, a village located in Manchak, caught and executed Julia Brown, the witch of the voodoo cult, in the fire. Before her death, she cursed the tormentors: "I will die, but one day you will all leave after me."
The witches only laughed at the words, but a few days after her death the swamps began to expand. Two months later, a hurricane hit the village, destroying all the houses. Hundreds of people died. And to this day, the corpses of the victims of the hurricane sometimes float to the surface - the thickness of the swamp does not allow them to rot. For some reason, even alligators do not touch their remains.
There were witnesses who heard someone in the depths of the swamps screaming at night in a "disgusting creaky voice", and some claim to have seen the ghost of Julia.
Another local legend is the werewolf Rugaru, whose howl is carried over the swamps every night. In the morning, farmers often find dead cows and birds in the pens; corpses as if tormented by a predator.
Paris catacombs
Every day, thousands of tourists line up to descend into the winding labyrinth of the famous catacombs. Most of the dungeons, stretching for 300 kilometers, are concentrated on the left bank of the Seine. 
We can say that the history of the catacombs of Paris began in ancient times, when deposits of limestone and gypsum were found along the Seine channel. Quarries were erected here, and by the 15th century the rapidly growing city had exhausted the explored resources of stone and the mines had moved much deeper. As a result, by the beginning of the XVII century, Paris was practically hovering over the void. The ceilings of the mines began to collapse regularly, burying workers.
In 1763, the city authorities found a new use for the former quarries. It was decided to move bones underground from dangerously crowded city cemeteries due to plague epidemics. The catacombs took the remains of not only ordinary Parisians: somewhere in their bowels lay the bones of Franus Rabelais, Charles Perrault, Blaise Pascal, Maximilian Robespierre ...
By 1809, the skeletal remains were framed in the corridors, and the giant ossuary has become a favorite destination for adventurers of all ages and estates. Many visitors to the catacombs claimed to have encountered a shadow in the labyrinths, which moved swiftly and silently, and blew stench and dampness from it. There were many who went down underground and did not return. For many years, bodies of missing persons were found in remote corners of the corridors until all entrances to the catacombs, except the main one, were walled up.
In 1846, a merchant named Lebril complained to the police that someone throws stones every night at the window of his store, which is being built on the site of the recently destroyed old neighborhoods. Moreover, the stones, he argued, were huge - hardly an ordinary person would have lifted them. The police inspected the house and actually recorded damage, as if inflicted by a cobblestone. For several nights a patrol was on duty at the store. Someone really threw stones, but the identity of the intruder did not help to establish even the bloodhounds unchained. A few days later the strange rockfall stopped and never repeated, and the superstitious Parisians decided that the merchant was the victim of the dead, who were disturbed by the demolition of old houses.
