Source http://chappiage.blogspot.com/2013/07/guatemala-national-cemetery.html In **Guatemala City** they have run out of room for their dead, and if you can't bury in the ground anymore you start building up. the grave of the destitute cemetery is a real city of the Dead where graves have been stacked on top of each other over the years to save space. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guatemala_City In the alleyways and road people have set up all kinds of shops and stalls to sell their wares to the families of the Dead who hold parties in front of their graves and pay local bands to play music. The creepiest part of it all is that the families must pay rent after six years of $24 a year, and if they don't people smash open the graves and dispose of the bodies to make room for more dead people. I guess the best way to make a graveyard creepier is by stacking ten or more of them on top of each other and then smashing open people's graves randomly. **2. The suicide forests**

It is the most popular place to commit suicide in Japan with sometimes over a hundred bodies found by the monthly patrols and annual body hunts conducted by the police. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aokigahara Those who turn back from their suicide attempts have told stories of feeling like they were being pulled to the forest by a supernatural force which locals have attributed to the ancient stories of demons and ghosts that inhabit the forest. These evil spirits are said to call out to lost souls to join them in the suicide forest forever. **3. Jacob's Well**

This seemingly bottomless dark hole has attracted many divers over the years who have been drawn to the challenge of finding out where the eerie hole goes. Local legend claimed that one part of the hole requires a diver to remove their oxygen tank to fit through a narrow gap where the current then pulled them away from the exit. A total of eight divers have died trying to explore Jacob's Well and they probably won't be the last. **4. Overtoun bridge, Scotland**

Source http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/overtoun-bridge Overtoun bridge is over 120 years old above a waterfall and has been a location of many suicides, but not human suicides, not a single person has died there but since the 1950s hundreds and hundreds of dogs have reportedly leapt off the bridge to their deaths. It's a totally unexplained phenomenon with the only link between all the dogs is- that they jumped in clear weather and were all breeds with long snouts. Today the total sits at over 600 dogs and he even put a sign there that says- “*dangerous bridge keep your dogs on a lead*”. Something supernatural is going on there, perhaps a spirit that eats dogs for breakfast; let me know what you think in the comment section. **5. Chapel of bones**

Source https://www.vanidades.com/viajes/los-lugares-mas-tetricos-del-planeta/ Sometimes all churches can be creepy but this one takes the biscuit.  **Capela dos Ossos****-** otherwise known as the Chapel of bones is a 16th century chapel whose insides is completely covered in human bones, specifically they’re the bones of over 5,000 monks**.** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capela_dos_Ossos In the 16th century the Portuguese town had 43 cemeteries that took up too much space. In order to create space, they dug up the remains of the 5,000 monks, and carefully covered the walls of the chapel with them. The aim was to create a religious space that would be a constant reminder to everyone who walked in there of death, and hopefully steer them away from materialism. **6. Hoia-Baciu forest**

Source https://www.yqqlm.com/2020/09/an-asteroid-larger-than-the-explosion-that-caused-the-tunguska-is-flying-fast-and-will-meet-the-earth-two-days-later/ This forest in Romania is referred to by locals as the Bermuda Triangle of the country because of the huge number of paranormal activities that have been reported there over the years. These range from ghosts to UFO, and visitors expressing a deep feeling of anxiety when they walk among the trees, as well as the feeling of being watched. The forest really gained attention in the 1960s when biologist **Alexandru Sift** took several pictures that showed strange disc shaped objects hovering above the trees. The terrifying tale all seemed to center around one point in the forest- a circle totally devoid of trees which theorists believe is the opening to another dimension. https://aminoapps.com/c/paranormal/page/item/hoia-baciu-forest/D8lb_zNkHNIMwQXoakRwwzGnZXXBjv7KZvX#:~:text=This%20dense%20forest%20first%20gained%20notoriety%20in%20the,of%20a%20saucer%20flying%20over%20the%20Hoia-Baciu%20Forest. **7. Ghost town of Pripyat**

Source http://ukrainetrek.com/blog/photos/ghost-town-of-pripyat-32-years-after-evacuation/ On April 26, 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear reactor in Ukraine began an accidental meltdown that would contaminate 30 kilometres of land in all directions with dangerous radiation. The government evacuated over 350,000 people and some places like **Pripyat** would theme too unsafe for anyone to return. The result is a creepy ghost town that is frozen in time, it has been left exactly how it was over 30 years ago, even the amusement park that was opened the day before the accident is just desolate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pripyat Some estimates say that humans won't be able to live there safely for another 600 years. **8. The Hanging Coffins, Philippines**

Source https://www.thousandwonders.net/Hanging+coffins Members of the **Agora tribe** in the Philippines have been burying their dead in coffins attached to the side of cliffs for over 2,000 years. A person is expected to carve their own coffin, when they die their families then tie them with the other coffins on the cliff. Their religious belief is that they will be closer to their ancestor this way and have an easier passage to heaven, but there's also a more practical reason to all this as it stops animals and grave robbers from defiling the graves. it's a very creepy place apparently, as you're building up the courage to look up at the coffins, there's massive holes in some of them with the skeletons poking their heads out. **9. Island of dolls**

Source http://www.ripleys.com/weird-news/island-of-the-dolls/ In the 1950s, a Mexican man named Julian Santana Barrera retreated to a wooded area on the outskirts of Mexico City to live out his life as a recluse. It was there that he discovered the corpse of a young girl and a toy doll floating in a canal next to her. He blamed himself for not being able to save her and held the doll on a tree as a mark of respect to the deceased girl, but after hearing screams at night he became convinced, the girl had possessed the doll. Julian began to hang up more and more dolls from the trees in order to appease the girl's spirit. He died in 2001 but tourists from all over the world have visited the site to continue the tradition of placing dolls to create one of the creepiest sites in the world. In fact, some of the visitors say they can hear the dolls whispering to them. **10. Catacombs of Paris**

Source https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/catacombs-of-paris-subterranean-boneyard-of-france.html Paris is known as a city of love life and food, but beneath its cobblestone streets lies a creepy underground tunnel network that many people simply aren't aware of. The catacombs are a massive Graveyards which holds the remains of more than six million people in a small part of a tunnel network built to consolidate Paris' ancient stone quarries. Extending south from the Barrière d'Enfer ("*Gate of Hell*") former city gate, this ossuary was created as part of the effort to eliminate the city's overflowing cemeteries. **Source** https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catacombs_of_Paris So, if you ever visit Paris, be sure not to mistakenly summon the dead- they are directly underneath you. *This is a list of the ten scariest places you shouldn't visit based on my opinion.
