Craco
A medieval town on a rocky ridge in Basilicata, abandoned in the 1960s–70s after landslides and an earthquake. Its empty stone houses and bell tower on a bare hill have repeatedly served as a film set.
Bodie
A California gold-rush town that peaked near 10,000 residents and emptied by the early 20th century. It is kept in a state of "arrested decay" — houses still hold the belongings their owners walked away from.
Hashima Island
A tiny island off Nagasaki, packed with concrete apartment blocks for coal miners and abandoned in 1974 when the mine closed. Its silhouette earned it the nickname Gunkanjima — "Battleship Island".
Skinwalker Ranch
A ranch in Utah known for decades of reported UFO sightings, unexplained phenomena, and mysterious livestock deaths. Named after the skin-walker of Navajo folklore.
Pripyat
Pripyat is an abandoned city of regional significance situated in the Vyshhorod Raion of Kyiv Oblast, Ukraine, along the banks of the Pripyat River roughly 3 kilometers from the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (ChNPP) and 16 kilometers from the border with Belarus. Founded in February 1970 as the ninth Soviet "atomgrad" (atomic company town) for power plant personnel, the municipality was completely evacuated on April 27, 1986, following the catastrophic explosion of ChNPP Reactor No. 4. Housing nearly 50,000 residents at the time of the disaster, Pripyat became the world's premier modern ghost town, serving as an open-air monument to industrial failure, a frozen time capsule of late-Soviet urban planning, and the ground zero of global urban exploration culture.
Tower of London
A medieval fortress on the Thames with nearly a thousand years of executions and imprisonments. Legend holds that the ghosts of Anne Boleyn and other prisoners still walk its grounds.
Aokigahara Forest
A dense forest at the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan, known in folklore as a home to yūrei — the spirits of the dead. Its heavy silence and tree roots gripping hardened lava give it a singular atmosphere.
Hoia Baciu Forest
A forest in Romania often called the world's most haunted: bent tree trunks, reports of UFOs, unexplained lights, and visitors losing their sense of direction.
Stonehenge
Stonehenge is a world-renowned prehistoric megalithic monument situated on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, southern England. Constructed between 3000 and 1500 BC, the earthwork and stone circle complex consists of an outer ring and inner horseshoe of massive sarsen silcrete monoliths joined by lintels via tongue-and-groove and mortise-and-tenon joints, along with smaller volcanic bluestones. Inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it remains the ultimate archaeological icon of the British Isles, historically enveloped in folklore involving Celtic druids, the wizardry of Merlin, extraterrestrial beacons, and modern conspiratorial "1954 construction" hoaxes.
Кольманскоп
Заброшенный алмазный посёлок в пустыне Намиб, основанный немцами в начале XX века и покинутый к 1950-м. Дома по самые окна занесены песком — пустыня медленно поглощает город.
Nazca Lines
Giant geoglyphs etched into the desert of southern Peru more than 1,500 years ago. The animal figures and geometric patterns are only fully legible from the air — their purpose is still unresolved.
Poveglia Island
An island in the Venetian Lagoon that served for centuries as a plague quarantine station and later a psychiatric hospital. Today it's abandoned and closed to casual visitors.
Winchester Mystery House
A sprawling Victorian mansion in California, continuously expanded for decades on the belief — held by its owner, Sarah Winchester — that construction kept the spirits of those killed by Winchester rifles at bay. Staircases lead to ceilings; doors open onto walls.
Hill of Crosses
A hill in northern Lithuania covered with hundreds of thousands of crosses left by pilgrims since the 19th century. Soviet authorities bulldozed it three times — the crosses reappeared within nights each time.
