Would you be so brave as to visit an island full of snakes or an endless maze of subterranean tunnels full of human remains? If not, here you can make a virtual visit to some of the most scary places in the world.
These are some of the most creepy places on Earth
1- Fields of Death, Cambodia
Death camps are a series of sites where at least one million people were killed during the civil war in Cambodia. Human bones can still be seen jutting out of the way and remain as a monument to that horrible part of human history.
2- The area of death, Everest, Nepal
The upper section of Everest Mountain is called the death zone due to lack of oxygen. Climbers who succumb to fatigue or injury in the death zone are usually on the brink of death. There are about 150 bodies that have never been reclaimed and it is not uncommon to find corpses near the standard climbing routes.
3- Gate to hell, Derweze, Turkmenistan
During drilling in 1971, Soviet geologists exploited a cavern filled with natural gas. The ground below the drilling platform collapsed, leaving a large hole with a diameter of 70 meters. They decided to burn the natural gas to help quickly dissipate it, assuming that the fire would end the fuel in a matter of days, but it is still burning today. The locals have called it the cave "The Gate of Hell."
4- The Wall, St. Croix, US Virgin Islands
None of the divers who visit them are afraid of heights. The Wall is a vertical drop of more than 3 kilometers that becomes even more frightening because the crystalline waters allow to see the abyss.
5- Mariana Trench, Pacific
The Trench of the Marianas is currently the deepest known point on Earth. With its crushing pressures and sewage, it is deeper than the average cruising altitude of commercial aircraft and houses some of the strangest life forms known to man.
6- Sulfur Mine at Kawah Ijen Volcano, Indonesia
Kawah Ijen is an active volcano in Indonesia from which sulfur is extracted. The miners travel 2.5 kilometers to the crater, then to the edge of a crater of more than 1,000 kilometers of sulfuric acid, where heavy chunks of pure sulfur are recovered to a weighing station. They do all this without any protective masks or gears.
7- Ilha da Queimada Grande (Island of the Serpents), Brazil
This island is densely populated by poisonous snakes and the Brazilian Navy has quarantined it. There are 3 to 8 poisonous snakes and a coral snake (considered the most dangerous in Brazil) for every 5 square meters.
8- Gas chambers, Auschwitz, Germany
It is estimated that the German forces gassed between 2.1 and 2.5 million Jews, Soviet soldiers, Gypsies and Poles in this place during World War II. It has been one of the worst human atrocities in our history.
9- Catacombs Odessa, France
These catacombs have more than 2,500 kilometers, and to give us an idea of the magnitude of the tunnel system, there are only about 2,000 kilometers from Odessa to Paris. People still get lost in these tunnels and never find the way out ...
10- Bolton Strid, England
This deceptive river has a mortality rate of 100%. Every person who has fallen into it has drowned ... And this is because it is very deep and has very strong currents that drag everything that falls in its waters downstream.
11- Darien Gap, Canada
Darien Gap is the undeveloped marshy area that separates Central and South America. It is full of plants with deadly insects, which can kill you; and if you think you can avoid them, there are insurgents who kidnap you. It is really one of the most dangerous places on Earth for humans.
12- Mount Huangshan, China
Mount Huangshan is most famous for the beauty of its peaks and trails beside the cliff. Now, as there are more tourists, there are security systems, but these cliff paths have been used without any security.
13- The Gates of Hell, New Jersey
This is the gateway to the long, dark and complex sewer system in New Jersey. The locals consider it the entrance to hell.
14- Somalia
Somalia has become famous in recent years for its piracy. Locals can invest in piracy bands planning kidnapping missions.
