Some places have been reported to be haunted, and others have paranormal phenomena such as pranksters. Some areas feel negative and even produce physical symptoms that make people uncomfortable. Some places are downright creepy. Let's take a look at some terrifying places.

 

Darvaza Gas Crater

Turkmenistan's Darvaza Crater is also known as the "Gate to Hell," and for a good reason. It's a huge crater in which a natural gas fire keeps burning. The hole has been burning since 1971, when a Soviet drilling operation hit a gas cavity, sending dirt into it. They set fire to the pit to incinerate the gas and stop the spread of toxic fumes. It has been burning ever since. I tried to delete it. However, they could have been more successful.

Joya Bacho Forest

Hoia Baciu Forest is a mystical place known as Romania's Bermuda Triangle. The forest has an eerie atmosphere, and the trees twist and stretch like fingers, stretching out into the night. According to legend, the Hoia Baciu forest is a hot spot for disappearances, alien encounters, ghosts, spirits, and other paranormal phenomena. The forest is home to various animals and is a peaceful place to rest during the day.

Snake Island

If you're terrified of slippery creatures, Brazil's Snake Island is one of the scariest places on Earth. About 2,000 to 4,000 golden snakes live on the island. They are one of the deadliest snakes in the world. Only a few people likely want to go to Snake Island. However, we must protect these snakes because they are an endangered species.

Lizzie Borden House

Most people are familiar with the horrific murder of Lizzie Borden, who was charged but acquitted. The story goes that someone killed Lizzie's father and stepmother with an axe. According to legend, Lizzie's father was stern and grumpy, while his wife was the quintessential evil stepmother. Lizzie is said to have killed her to protect herself and her sister and free them from tyranny. However, nothing has been confirmed, and the murder remains unsolved. The home where the murders took place is in Fall River, Massachusetts. The house is now part bed and breakfast and part museum. Visitors claim the house is haunted and report paranormal phenomena such as apparitions, touching, and seeing objects move by themselves.

 

Edinburgh Castle

Edinburgh Castle is a Scottish landmark and is said to be one of the most haunted places in the world. The castle has seen many battles and executions over the years. Victims of this bloodshed may remain to lurk. Tourists reported feeling watched and touched, their temperature dropped, and seeing shadows. Is the castle haunted? No one knows, but those there see the castle's history in the sky.

The Stanley Hotel

You may remember the Stanley Hotel as the inspiration for Stephen King's film The Shining. Inventor Freelan Oscar Stanley built the hotel. It opened in 1909. The hotel was Stanley and his wife's home away from home and a place to entertain guests. While the hotel is beautiful, it has a sinister feel. There have been reports of ghostly sightings over the years, although it's unclear when the hauntings began. The hotel was reportedly frequented by Stanley, his wife, guests, servants, children, and even pets. Visitors reported hearing voices and piano music in certain areas and feeling chilly. Is The Stanley Hotel haunted? Add this to your travel bucket list and see for yourself.

Natron l.

A place like Lake Natron doesn't have to be haunted. Lake Natron is an uninhabitable lake in Tanzania. It looks surprisingly calm, but its water is highly corrosive and can burn the skin and eyes. The water is highly alkaline due to the sodium carbonate and other minerals that flow into the lake. Sodium carbonate is an embalming agent for the carcasses of unfortunate animals that fall into the lake. However, despite the lake's harsh environment, it provides a haven for flamingos, which use the lake as a breeding ground.
