The Philadelphia State Hospital at Byberry was a psychiatric hospital constructed between 1907 and the mid-1920s, and the newer buildings were constructed between 1940 and 1953. The facility included over fifty buildings such as male and female dormitories, an infirmary, kitchens, laundry, administration, a chapel and a morgue. On June 14, 2006, a ceremony was held to celebrate the beginning of the complete demolition of the former Byberry hospital, and the future construction of a large adult living community, and an office park consisting of 8–10 story office buildings that will in NO WAY be haunted by the tortured souls of the mentally unstable that were undoubtedly abused there. I swear to God guys, nothing bad is going to happen. -
2.
The Catacombs of Paris What's creepier than 200 miles of dark pathways, containing the remains of over 6 MILLION people, under the streets of Gay Parie? Nothing. Nothing is the correct answer. -
3.
The Capela dos Ossos was built in the 16th century by a Franciscan monk who, in the Counter-Reformation spirit of that era, wanted to prod his fellow brothers into contemplation and transmit the message of life being transitory, a very common spirituality theme summed up in the motto memento mori. He was also really fucking high on crystal meth or bathsalts or some shit because look at these fucking pictures!This is clearly shown in the famous warning at the entrance Nós ossos que aqui estamos pelos vossos esperamos (“We bones that here are, for yours await"). That monk was clearly a psychopath and oh my god he's right behind you! -
4.
The Hanging Coffins of Sagada, Philippines The native Igorot tribe have been burying their dead in hanging coffins, attached to the sides of cliffs in the mountains of Luzon , for a long time . They believe that this brings them closer to their ancestral spirits and would also keep their bodies safe from scavenging animals. -
5.
The Hill of Crosses, Siauliai, Lithuania The precise origin of the practice of leaving crosses on the hill is uncertain so I'm going to assume they're placed there to keep the Elder Ones from rising up out of the ground and covering the world in death and darkness. Or something about faith and God and blah blah blah. -
6.
Cambridge Military Hospital, Aldershot Garrison, Hampshire, England This hospital was in use from 1878 until 1996 when it was closed due to high costs and asbestos in the walls. It's in England so I'm sure the ghosts are polite as shit, or you can't understand them but you swear they're speaking English. -

Fire Mummies of the Philippines Not just regular mummies, that shit's for pussies. These are motherfucking FIRE MUMMIES. Take that Egypt. Archeologists believe that the Fire Mummies were created by the Ibaloi (native tribespeople) between 1200 and 1500 AD in five towns in Benguet and buried in caves. What makes the Fire Mummies unique and terrifying, is their process of mummification. It began shortly after a person died, where he would "digest" a very salty drink. The corpse was washed and set over a fire in a seated position, thus drying the fluids. Smoke from tobacco was blown into the mouth to dry the body's inside and internal organs. How would you like to have that job? "Here, take this Marlboro and get to work!" Eventually, herbs (NOT POT, I checked) were rubbed into the body. Mummified bodies are then placed in a coffin made of pinewood and laid to rest in rock shelters, natural caves or man made burial niches. The practice of that mummification ended when the Spanish colonized the Philippines, took one look at them and said; "Do you want a vengeful mummy murdering the fuck out of everyone? Because that's how you get vengeful mummies murdering the fuck out of everyone!" -

St. George’s Church, Czech Republic What the fuck Czech Republic?? Some artist, that I can only assume is some kind of sociopath that probably has corpses in his basement, decided the creep factor of a abandoned and dilapidated 13th century church wasn't high enough already so he added ghosts. Because that will in no way open the gates of Hell, damning all of humanity. -
9.
Isla de las Munecas (Island of the Dolls, Mexico) This island, while looking like a serial killer's hangout, is actually dedicated to the lost soul of a poor girl who met her fate too soon under strange circumstances. And if that sentence alone does not convince you to NEVER set foot on this island, well congratulations! You're the dick responsible for the zombie apocalypse. Asshole. http://www.isladelasmunecas.com/ -
10.
Hashima Island, Japan The island's most notable features are the abandoned historical concrete buildings, undisturbed except by nature, and the surrounding sea wall. Oh and the undead terror that roam these grounds because you know this bitch is haunted as a motherfucker. While the island is a symbol of rapid industrialization of Japan (yay capitalism!), it is also a reminder of its dark history as a site of forced labor (Slaves. They were slaves)prior to and during the Second World War. -
11.
15th Century Jewish Cemetery in the city of Prague, Czech Republic This nightmare of broken dreams was established in 1478, that's the 15th century, and it has only gotten fuller and more terrifying as the centuries past forcing people to add layer on top of layer like the world's worst game of Jenga. Now there are 12 layers of graves stacked one on top of another. There are over 12,000 visible tombstones but an estimated 100,000 people are buried there. -
12.
West Virginia State Penitentiary, Moundsville, West Virginia. An abandoned Gothic style prison that was built in 1876 and closed it's doors in 1995. Over 100 people were executed there, via electric chair. Now if that's not an invitation for vengeful spirits to hate fuck the tourists that visit the place for their night time tours, I don't know what is. -
13.
Kostnice v Sedlci (Sedlec Ossuary, Czech Republic) I see this is the Czech Republic's second appearance here. The Ossuary is a small Roman Catholic chapel, located beneath the Cemetery Church of All Saints (Hřbitovní kostel Všech Svatých) in Sedlec, a suburb of Kutná Hora in the Czech Republic. The ossuary is estimated to contain the skeletons of between 40,000 and 70,000 people, whose bones have, in many cases, been artistically arranged to form decorations and furnishings for the chapel like some kind of fucked up Ikea. -
14.
Povegila, the Plague Island, Italy So in 1793 there were several cases of the plague, of the Black Death variety) on two ships, and consequently the island was transformed into a temporary confinement station for the ill. This role would become permanent in 1805, under the rule of everyone's favorite Frenchmen, Napoleon Bonaparte. Because Bonaparte wanted nothing to do with people who had something called The Black Death. Really can't fault them I mean who would right? Anyway we can be assured many people died horrible deaths there (18Th century, duh) and we can also assume their spirits came back to haunt the ever loving shit out of that place. -

Abandoned city of Pripyat, Ukraine Pripyat was founded on February 4, 1970, as the ninth "nuclear city" (and best mission in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2) in the Soviet Union, to serve the nearby Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Completely abandoned now because of the clusterfuck that was soviet era Russia, this city had a population of almost 50,000 before being evacuated shortly after the Chernobyl nuclear accident. As of today no one got superpowers. They got cancer is what I'm saying. -
16.
Beelitz-Heilstätten Red Army Military Hospital in Germany "An abandoned Soviet Red Army Hospital..." is usually the first sentence in a horror story. In 1945, Beelitz-Heilstätten was occupied by Red Army forces, and the complex remained a Soviet military hospital until 1995, well after the German reunification. -
17.
Abandoned psychiatric hospital, Parma, Italy Look, abandoned psychiatric hospitals are creepy enough on their own. After artist Hebert Baglione get's done with his shadow paintings, they're even creepier. God damn you Herbert! -

Aokigahara AKA The Suicide Forest or Sea of Trees This creepy ass forest is 35-square-kilometers of nightmare fuel that lies at Mount Fuji's northwest base in Japan. The forest has a historic association with "yūrei" or ghosts of the dead in Japanese mythology, and it is a notoriously common suicide site (in which 54 took place in 2010). For this reason, a sign at the head of the main trail urges suicidal visitors to think of their families and contact a suicide prevention association.
